“…Being personally affected by COVID-19 and being concerned about child care were found to be related to increase use of alcohol and substances. Being personally affected may be symbolic of trauma, complicated grief, or represent a generalized stressor; all of which are related to alcohol and/or substance use (Berenz et al 2016 ; Bränström and Pachankis 2018 ; Hansen et al 2020 ; Hassel et al 2013 ; Lin et al 2020 ; Moller et al 2013 ; North et al 2002 ; Read et al 2014 ; Sola et al 2019 ; Sheerin et al 2016 ; Walker et al 2020 ; Williams et al 2015 ). This relationship should be examined further to determine how being affected personally, such as individually being diagnosed with COVID, being at high risk for COVID, or knowing others who are at risk or who have been diagnosed, is related to use of alcohol and substances.…”

“…However, increased alcohol and/or substance use may only represent an acute solution and not represent a long-term coping solution (SAMSHA 2020 ). Generalized stress, behavioral stressors, or feeling overwhelmed are also related to increased alcohol and/or substance use (Bränström and Pachankis 2018 ; Hassel et al 2013 ; Lin et al 2020 ; Sola et al 2019 ). As noted by Wand et al ( 2020 ), feeling overwhelmed may also be representative or symptomatic of several different types of mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, or suicidal ideation.…”

This study explored the relationship between alcohol and substance use in the general population during the early stages of COVID-19 as related to individual, family, and community stressors. A convenience sample of adults who resided in the USA and Canada was utilized. An online survey was conducted. Over one-third of the sample reported utilizing alcohol and substances as a means to cope during the pandemic. A linear regression revealed that use of social media as a source of information, being personally affected by COVID-19, experiencing child care challenges, and not being associated with a religious community were related to increased likeliness for alcohol and/or substance use. Future research should explore these concepts further within the general population.

ResumenAbstract original adicciones vol. xx, nº x · 2020Objetivo: Las características heterogéneas de familiares afectados (FA) de familiares con abuso de sustancias (FAS) han sido objeto de pocos estudios. Este estudio revisó la ocurrencia y los correlatos de FA con uno o más familiares con problemas de abuso de sustancias. Materiales y Métodos: Análisis secundario de un estudio transversal sobre las características de FA en Brasil (N = 3157). Valoramos los niveles de los FA de estrés, presión, afrontamiento y esperanza. Exploramos los factores asociados con los FA que tenían otros familiares con abuso de sustancias (otros-FAS) mediante regresiones logísticas ordinales. Resultados: El 61,6% de la muestra (1945/3157) informó de la ocurrencia de otros-FAS. De estos, el 47% (904/1945) informó que los otros-FAS eran familiares directos del FAS (cónyuge/pareja/hijos/ hermanos). La probabilidad de ocurrencia de otros-FAS estaba relacionada con que el FAS fuese mujer, de bajo nivel socioeconómico (NSE), con una edad entre los 35-44 años, fuese la madre o esposa/ novia/prometida del FAS, obtuviese una puntuación más alta en impacto familiar, síntomas psicológicos y físicos, evitamiento como mecanismo de afrontamiento, y que tuviese un FAS mayor. Conclusión: Información sobre las características de los FA es clave para entender cómo puede manifestarse la experiencia de daños asociados con el problema del familiar. Nuestros hallazgos aportan datos que pueden ser útiles para desarrollar intervenciones con el objetivo de reducir los daños sufridos por los FA. Palabras clave: Familiares afectados; Familiar con abuso de sustancias; Características; Presiones. Purpose: The heterogenic characteristics of affected family members (AFMs) of substance misusing relative (SMR) remain understudied. This study examined the occurrence and correlates of AFMs having more than one relative with substance use problems. Material and Methods: A secondary analysis of a cross-sectional study on the characteristics of affected family members in Brazil was performed (N= 3157). Levels of AFM stress, strain, coping and hopefulness were assessed. Factors associated with AFMs having other substance misusing relatives (other-SMRs) were explored using univariate logistic regressions. Results: The occurrence of having other-SMR was reported by 61.6% of the sample (1945/3157). Of this, 47% (904/1945) reported that the other-SMR was a member of the SMR's immediate family (spouse/partner/children/siblings). The likelihood of having other-SMRs was related to the AFM being female, from a low socioeconomic background, between the age of 35-44 years older, being SMR's mother or wife/girlfriend/fiancée, scoring higher on family member impact, psychological and physical symptoms, withdrawal coping and to have an older SMR. Conclusion: Information about the characteristics of AFMs is key to understanding how the experience of harm associated with the relative's problem might manifest. Our findings offer information that could be used when developing interventions...

“…Therefore, the results of the confirmatory factor analysis did not support the original, three-factor model (Orford et al, 1998). Similarly, results of confirmatory factor analysis among Brazilian family members indicated insufficient model fit for the original, three-factor model (Sola et al, 2018). Bifactor models tend to be adequately suited to health and clinical psychology-related concepts (Rodriguez, Reise, & Haviland, 2016a).…”

Background: The Coping Questionnaire measures affected family members' responses to their relatives' substance misuse related problems. The Coping Questionnaire examines three main coping strategies: engaged, tolerant-inactive, and withdrawal coping. Objectives: The aim of the current study was to compare competing conceptual measurement models across two countries, including one-factor, three-factor, and higher order factor models. Methods: Secondary analysis of data from five previous studies was conducted. Samples of affected family members from England (N ¼ 323) and Italy (N ¼ 165) were aggregated into two country specific groups. Series of confirmatory factor analyses were performed to test the degree of model fit and the effects of socio-demographic variables on the coping factors. Results: A bifactor model fitted the data most closely relative to the one-and three-factor models. High rates of common variance (60-65%) were attributable to the general coping factor, while a high proportion of the variance related to the withdrawal coping subscale score was independent (66-89%) of the general coping factor. Family members' country, age, gender, the type of relationship and the main problematic substance had significant effects on the coping factors. Conclusions: A bifactor model related to coping behaviors is consistent with the theoretical assumptions of the general coping literature. The concept of a general coping factor also fits the theoretical assumptions of the stress-strain-coping-support model, with family members showing a general tendency to cope with the harmful circumstances which arise due to substance misuse.
