Summary: The review evaluated the utility of a biopsychosocial model of social anxiety's relation to substance misuse and updated the model based on data from the past 5 years. Findings suggest that socially anxious individuals may use substances to manage anxiety despite some substances not directly affecting physiological responses. Other factors such as social influence, cognitive processes, and context were also identified as important in understanding substance use among socially anxious individuals. However, sociocultural factors remain understudied in this area.

Summary: This study investigated whether comorbid substance use disorders (SUDs) in bipolar disorder (BD) were associated with differences in medication regimens. The results showed that overall, BD with comorbid SUD did not have different pharmacological treatment compared to BD alone. However, there were country-specific associations between specific SUDs and medications, indicating the need for further research.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the effect of virtual reality-assisted cognitive behavioural therapy (VR-CBT) on patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD). The study will randomly allocate participants to the VR-CBT group or the CBT group for a 6-month treatment period. The primary outcome measure is the change in total alcohol consumption, and key secondary outcome measures include changes in heavy drinking days, alcohol cravings, cognition, and symptoms of depression and anxiety. The study results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.

Summary: This study aims to test an intervention (STAMINA) that rapidly connects high-risk opioid users to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) using a telemedicine platform. Conducted as a randomized controlled trial at three SSP sites, the study will recruit 273 participants and collect data through structured interviews and saliva drug tests to compare the probabilities of successful treatment linkage, days retained in treatment, and post-baseline opioid and other drug use between the two arms.

Summary: This study estimated the annual attributable medical cost of SUD in US hospitals to be $13.2 billion, with costs varying by substance type. The findings suggest that reductions in high direct medical costs of SUD hospital care could offset the cost of effective prevention and treatment, offering opportunities for treatment during hospitalization for patients with SUD.

Summary: This study explored barriers and characteristics associated with perceived need for opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment among adults. The findings show that less than 30% of adults with OUD receive treatment, and only 10% report a need for treatment. Age, race, and health insurance coverage were found to influence the treatment gap among OUD patients.
