“…Consistent with previous data on the association between AS and alcohol consumption [3,11,12,13,15,16,24,25,26], findings showed that the AD group endorsed more severe Physical and Cognitive concerns than the other two groups.…”

“…Few studies have investigated the role of AS in samples of patients with alcohol abuse or alcohol-dependence. In two studies on patients with substance abuse including alcohol [15,16], high AS was a significant predictor of increased alcohol consumption in situations eliciting negative emotions, and the relationship remained significant after controlling for trait anxiety. The authors suggested that AS might be a predictor of abuse of certain substances [15].…”

“…Another interesting result was that patients with A-D reported stronger Social concerns relative to controls and patients with AD, and this result contrasted with a large body of literature indicating that Social concerns are mainly associated to AD, particularly social anxiety disorder, to the anxiety sphere in general [25], fear of negative evaluation and inhibited behavior in public [29], fear and avoidance of public situations and performances [26], anxiety in social interactions and diagnosis of social phobia [7]. It could be hypothesized that alcohol consumption may be a strategy to reduce physiological responses and to avoid fear of negative judgments, as reported by DeHaas and colleagues [15], who found that AS positively correlated with alcohol consumption as a coping strategy aimed to reduce negative emotions in unpleasant situations. As proposed by Howell and colleagues [14], drinkers with high AS could be motivated to use alcohol in social situations to conform with peers' habits, since they could experience elevated fear of publicly observable anxiety symptoms,.…”

Anxiety Sensitivity (AS) is a cognitive risk and maintenance factor for anxiety disorders, and it consists of three dimensions: Physical concerns, Cognitive concerns, and Social concerns. No study has investigated the role of AS in individuals with Alcohol-Dependence (A-D), comparing a group of patients with Alcohol-Dependence (A-D) to patients with Anxiety Disorders (AD) and healthy individuals on AS dimensions. Specific dimensions of AS might play a role as cognitive vulnerability and maintenance factors also for A-D-related problems. Examination of AS in patients with A-D might inform clinical practice and public health policy suggesting the integration of treatments specifically targeting AS in A-D patients. The current study aimed to explore the relationship between AS dimensions and A-D. One hundred twenty-five participants, including patients with a diagnosis of A-D (n= 35), patients with a diagnosis of any Anxiety Disorder (AD) (n= 40) and healthy individuals as a control group (CG) (n= 50) completed the ASI-3, STAI-Y and BDI-II. After controlling for anxious traits, A-D patients had stronger Social concerns. Physical and Cognitive concerns appeared, however, significantly more severe among the AD group than the other two groups. Given the strong association between Social concerns and A-D, treatments for A-D patients should also target Social concerns. Study limitations, implications for mental health policy and intervention programs are addressed.

“…Most research in this area has focused on the licit substances alcohol and nicotine. Individuals with higher AS endorse more coping-motivated alcohol and tobacco use compared to those with lower AS (e.g., Leyro, Zvolensky, Vujanovic, & Bernstein, 2008;Stewart & Zeitlin, 1995), and higher AS is also associated with the use of anxiolytics in situations involving negative reinforcement (e.g., DeHaas, Calamari, & Bair, 2002;Stewart, Zvolensky, & Eifert, 2001). AS is also positively related to using substances for conformity motives (i.e., using to avoid scrutiny by others; Stewart et al, 2001), suggesting AS may also be associated with using to manage fear of negative evaluation from substance-using peers.…”

Cocaine use and dependence remains an important public health concern. Thus, the identification of individual difference factors that may maintain cocaine use remains an important goal. The goal of the current study is to test whether the cognitive vulnerability of anxiety sensitivity (AS), an identified risk factor for anxiolytic use and use-related disorders, is related to cocaine dependence diagnosis (n 5 168) among a sample of drug users currently enrolled in residential treatment (N 5 304). Results demonstrated that AS was significantly related to cocaine dependence and remained significant after controlling for sex, age, alcohol dependence, hallucinogen dependence, major depressive disorder, panic disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Taken together, these data suggest that AS may have a specific relation to cocaine dependence, calling into question the notion that AS is positively related only to drugs with anxiolytic properties.
