Introduction to Treatment Seeking

Despite a well-documented global burden of disease attributable to alcohol use disorder (AUD), treatment seeking rates remain low.

Background: Treatment seeking for people with alcohol use disorders (AUD), injecting drug use and viral hepatitis is low, and has worsened during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

From March 2014 to January 2016, 286 non-treatment seeking methamphetamine-using MSM were randomized into one of three study arms: 1) Interactive text message conversations with Peer Health Educators, plus five daily automated, unidirectional theory-based messages, plus a weekly self-monitoring text message assessment (TXT-PHE; n = 94); or, 2) Five daily automated, unidirectional theory-based messages plus a weekly self-monitoring text message assessment (TXT-Auto; n = 99); or, 3) The weekly self-monitoring text message assessment only (AO; n = 93).

Objectives To determine treatment seeking behaviour in those with opioid use disorder (OUD) in the high-income countries.

Present study was undertaken to determine treatment seeking behavior and health expenditure incurred among elderly hypertensive.

CONCLUSIONS The high number of opioid-related overdose deaths in the community illustrates the need to decriminalize illicit drug use and facilitate treatment seeking.

This study developed and evaluated a brief, single-session online intervention designed to facilitate treatment seeking among adults with clinically significant social anxiety (SA) symptoms, who generally seek treatment at exceptionally low rates.

, intact interoceptive awareness) might promote treatment seeking behavior in schizophrenia.

As an example, peer mental health support interventions aim to reduce stigma and promote treatment seeking in first responder populations.

Besides limited resources in healthcare systems, the treatment-gap is—to a large extent—caused by within-person barriers impeding early treatment seeking.

Early treatment seeking is important to reduce the risk of stroke, heart failure and dementia.

DISCUSSION Clinicians should explore the history and rationale behind patient treatment seeking behaviour to ensure this is not reinforcing the negative effects of depressive symptoms on pain related disability.

There is little quantitative evidence on how health worker absenteeism influences patient treatment seeking behavior, though low public sector utilization and heavy reliance on the informal sector are well documented in low-income settings.

In this paper, an attempt was made to assess the self reported reproductive morbidities, treatment seeking behavior and factors influencing reproductive health among two communities of women in Manipur.

, intact interoceptive awareness) might promote treatment seeking behavior in schizophrenia.

The treatment seeking behaviour among medical students also reflected poorly when it came to seeking help from health professionals.

There is a lack of treatment seeking behaviour inspite of such high frequency.

Conclusions: These findings suggest that greater depression or suicidal ideation, through their effect on greater drinking to cope, are associated with greater solitary drinking in a treatment seeking sample.

We included studies with non-treatment seeking samples and pre- and post-exposure measures of IQ.

Two hundred one non-treatment seeking youth (8-17y) completed questionnaires assessing WBT, disinhibited eating, depression, and anxiety.

Despite the breadth of its use, the psychometric properties of the measure in children with overweight/obesity (OW/OB), particularly treatment seeking youth, remains largely unexplored.

Background Treatment seeking delay is defined as the time interval between the onset of the major symptoms of tuberculosis (TB) and the first visit to the formal health care facility.

Discussion: This study protocol outlines the first RCT aimed at directly comparing the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of imagery rescripting and integrated imagery rescripting and schema therapy for treatment seeking adult patients with PTSD and comorbid cluster C personality pathology.

We examined the short-term effects of acute exercise on alcohol craving, mood states and state anxiety in physically inactive, non-treatment seeking adults with AUD.

These findings are promising for future research on the long-term outcome of evidence-based exposure in treatment seeking patients.

This study evaluated PK and PD genetic variation and the clinical use of such testing in treatment seeking patients with bipolar disorder (BP) and major depressive disorder (MDD) and history of multiple drug failures/treatment resistance.

Despite a well-documented global burden of disease attributable to alcohol use disorder (AUD), treatment seeking rates remain low.

Results also identified inconsistencies in reporting and seroprevalence among different age groups, with children having the highest reporting and treatment seeking rates but low levels of exposure in comparison with other groups.

78 treatment seeking young adults (ages 18-25) completed demographic, psychiatric, behavioral, and suicidality measures.

Consequently, little is known about how patterns of ER relate to a broad range of psychopathology, in treatment seeking young people.

Mapping out the treatment seeking pathways of families in the post-conflict period shows that the search for treatment is not necessarily based on needs.

All children were followed up 28 days after enrolment to assess their treatment seeking pathways, treatments received, and their health outcome.

Materials and Methods: This was a cross sectional hospital based study and included 100 treatment seeking population 50 each with alcohol dependence and opioid dependence as per ICD-10 criteria.

The association between problem gambling and suicidal behaviours is well established in treatment seeking populations, but less explored among sub-clinical problem gamblers in the general population.

In a double blind, placebo-controlled human laboratory study in non-treatment seeking individuals with AUD, apremilast significantly reduced the number of drinks per day.

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this secondary analysis were to investigate if changes in alcohol-related behaviors/characteristics from the baseline to the randomization session differed overall and to assess those differences between non-treatment and treatment seeking individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD).

METHODS Non-treatment seeking heavy drinking adults (N=149, 56.

Conclusions Findings highlight the relevance of considering one’s degree of alcohol problem severity in BI and alcohol screening efforts among non-treatment seeking heavy drinkers.

This study developed and evaluated a brief, single-session online intervention designed to facilitate treatment seeking among adults with clinically significant social anxiety (SA) symptoms, who generally seek treatment at exceptionally low rates.

Background This study focuses on factors that may disproportionately affect female veterans’ mental health, compared to men, and is part of a larger study assessing the prevalence of mental health disorders and treatment seeking among formerly deployed US military service members.
