“…Previous studies revealed that among individuals who were not exposed to any crisis event (i.e., cancer surgery or diagnosis), changes in perceived and received social support are rather small in terms of effect sizes (cf. Pierce et al, 2000). Research on changes in perceived social support among individuals followed for 12 months after a crisis showed Time × Gender interactions with effect sizes of 4.5% (Stelle & Uchida, 2004), similar to the ones obtained in the present study.…”

such as their network of friends or professional help, may need to be identified. A couple-coping intervention could be implemented to help partners learn about each other's needs in times of crisis and ways to cope with adversity. Key words: social support, spouses, cancer, coping, couples, dyadic copingDiagnosis and treatment of cancer are challenging to both patients and their partners. An acute medical situation can turn into a chronic condition when treatment is not successful or when side effects of surgery and therapy lead to severe life constraints. Patients may live with a constant threat of recurrence, experience compromised quality of life, and undergo vocational, emotional, and social changes. In these times of need, partners play an important role in patients'

“…Moreover, self-perceived loneliness was the only potential confounder that we accounted for, yet there are probably many other time-dynamic factors that impact on both emotional distress and HED. For instance, there is solid evidence that negative life events increase the risk of depression [54], and an association with heavier drinking has also been found [55,56]. Social support is another time-variant factor that is likely to confound the association between depression and alcohol use [57].…”

Associations between emotional distress and heavy drinking among young people: A longitudinal study

IntroductionDepression has generally been found to be associated with heavy drinking and alcohol use disorders [1][2][3][4]. There is also evidence of a link between anxiety and extensive use of alcohol [5][6][7][8], but this association has been less extensively scrutinized and the findings seem less clear. Thus, some studies of young people report null-findings [9] or a link between anxiety and heavy drinking that is attributable to concurrent symptoms of depression and/or other confounding factors [10][11][12].The bulk of previous studies focus on severe forms of internalizing problems and harmful drinking, and have typically relied on diagnoses or other dichotomous measures. Obviously, such research may be of clinical significance, yet the findings do not necessarily apply to mild forms of emotional distress and non-pathological drinking [13]. To address subclinical conditions is important in its own right, not least because they may contribute to the total burden of harm and social cost at least as much as the clinical ones -simply by being far more prevalent.Furthermore, studies of adult samples predominate in the field, and the association between emotional distress and heavy drinking may be different among young people. The onset of drinking typically occurs in adolescence, and the consumption of alcohol and related harm escalate during the late teens and reaches a peak in early adulthood [14,15]. Problems related to mood and emotions also tend to increase in this period of life [16]. Moreover, it has been hypothesized that risk factors related to mental health may become increasingly important in influencing drinking behaviour as individuals approach adulthood, reflecting the challenges of leaving a protected environment, and entering an independent adult role [17].Indeed, a recent study showed that the association between depression and alcohol use disorders was stronger in early adulthood than in adolescence [18]. The present paper pursues this issue further by analysing four-wave panel data on less severe forms of emotional distress and heavy drinking from a general population study of young people.

“…For individuals in alcohol recovery, social support has been shown to have an effect on treatment acceptance and in providing kinship systems that support post-detoxification functioning (Peirce, Frone, Russell, Cooper, & Mudar, 2000). For African American women in particular, who have historically faced harsh social and economic conditions, extended family, and religious involvement and participation in the community may help provide supportive social relationships, tangible economic resources, comfort in times of trouble, and motivation for engaging in healthy behaviors (Chatters, Taylor, Lincoln, & Schroepfer, 2002).…”

It is well established that poor nutritional status leaves HIV-positive substance abusers especially vulnerable to an increased risk of opportunistic infections and other illnesses. Socioecological frameworks have been useful for identifying multiple influences on health risks, leading to the development and evaluation of promising community-based interventions for diseases such as cancer and diabetes. This article presents a conceptual model, based on the socioecological approach, to examine the mechanisms and pathways by which the various contextual factors unique to HIV-positive African American women with substance abuse disorders intersect to impact their nutritional health outcomes. The mediating effects of the interpersonal, environmental, and psychological factors on the direct links between disease symptomology, demographic and socioeconomic variables, and nutritional health are emphasized. The long-term goal is to provide the empirical foundation necessary to design targeted interventions that meet the unique personal, social, and familial needs of this population with multiple vulnerabilities.
