“…Hypothetical explanations for the association between substance abuse and TB treatment default have been proposed. Chemically dependent individuals do not invest in their self-care, use less health services, eat poorly, have precarious family and institutional relationships [23], and are prone to escapism and forgetfulness when confronting real-life situations [24, 25].…”

Drug addiction and alcoholism as predictors for tuberculosis treatment default in Brazil: a prospective cohort study

et al. 2017

This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors for tuberculosis (TB) treatment default in a priority city for disease control in Brazil. A cohort of TB cases diagnosed from 2008 to 2009 was followed up from patients' entry into three outpatient sites, in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais (Brazil), until the recording of the outcomes. Drug addiction, alcoholism and treatment site appeared to be independently associated with default. Current users of crack as the hardest drug (odds ratio (OR) 12·25, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3·04-49·26) were more likely to default than other hard drug users (OR 5·67, 95% CI 1·34-24·03), former users (OR 4·12, 95% CI 1·11-15·20) and those not known to use drugs (reference group). Consumers at high risk of alcoholism (OR 2·94, 95% CI 1·08-7·99) and those treated in an outpatient hospital unit (OR 8·22, 95% CI 2·79-24·21%) also were more likely to default. Our results establish that substance abuse was independently associated with default. National TB programmes might be more likely to achieve their control targets if they include interventions aimed at improving adherence and cure rates, by diagnosing and treating substance abuse concurrently with standard TB therapy.

Job Stress, Drinking Networks, and Social Support at Work: A Comprehensive Model Of Employees' Problem Drinking Behaviors

Most research examining the problem drinking behaviors of employees has sought to demonstrate that variation in alcohol consumption derives from nonrewarding or stressful aspects of modern work that promote intrapsychic stress and/or alienation. These inquiries have ignored additional job factors that might influence employee drinking patterns. We extend this literature by developing and testing a comprehensive model of influences on employee problem drinking. The model includes the simultaneous influences of stressful working conditions, participation in job‐based drinking networks, and perceived social support on the job. Analyses of data from the 1991 National Employee Survey (NES) indicate that this explanatory model significantly improves our understanding of the job‐related influences on employee problem drinking. We also demonstrate that each class of job factors has important mediated influences on problem drinking that result from their association with individualized job escapist‐oriented reasons for drinking.

“…Caged emotions often fantasise and plot for opportunities in vengeance and cruelty, and are often risky, desperate and violent. Outlets that seek mental escape will be common (Sadava et al, 1978). Unlike desires and natural emotions, caged emotions are indirect.…”

A cladogram and taxonomy for emotions

A selection of character traits for emotions, desires and attitudes were used to construct a cladogram showing their potential relationships. A cladogram is possible if a theorised interaction desire is used as the original motivation behind these more complex neocortical developments. A distinction is made between desires, natural emotions, caged emotions and attitudes as responses to increasingly intransigent blocks that reduce the level of freedom needed to be wild, and obstruct the naive desire for positive interaction.
