Diferentes modalidades de encuesta han sido desarrolladas para medir el consumo de alcohol y los problemas relacionados. La investigación sobre la calidad de los datos en distintas modalidades de encuesta es escasa en Latinoamérica. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la calidad de los datos sobre consumo de alcohol resultante de tres modalidades de encuesta: auto-administrada online, auto-administrada a papel y lápiz y entrevistas cara a cara. Los datos se obtuvieron de tres muestras probabilísticas (n=60 cada una) de estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Argentina, usando el mismo cuestionario. Para cada modalidad, la calidad de los datos se estimó con la tasa de respuesta global, tasa de respuesta al ítem y la precisión. La precisión fue evaluada con el porcentaje de consumo excesivo episódico, resultado positivo del AUDIT, y consistencia interna del AUDIT. Las tasas de respuesta global y al ítem fueron menores en la modalidad online, y similares en las restantes dos. No se encontraron diferencias en la precisión de las respuestas entre las modalidades. Different survey modalities have been developed to assess alcohol consumption and related problems. Research that compares data quality between survey modalities is scarce in Latin America. The aim of this study was to assess data quality in three survey modalities on alcohol consumption: self-administered online, self-administered hard-copy, and face-to-face interviews. Data were obtained from three probabilistic samples of students (n = 60 each) from the National University of Mar del Plata, Argentina, using the same questionnaire. Data quality was measured for each modality by overall response rate, item response rate, and accuracy. Data accuracy was evaluated as the percentage of self-reported binge drinking, positive results on AUDIT, and internal consistency of AUDIT for each modality. The overall and item response rates were lower in the online modality and similar between the other two. No differences were found between modalities in the accuracy of responses.

According to the dual process model, the interaction between explicit (controlled) and implicit (automatic) cognitions would allow the understanding of irrational actions like addictive behaviors. This model has gained great popularity among addiction researchers, leading to an exponential growth in publications on implicit alcohol related cognition (IAC). Hence, the goal of this article is to identify trends in the study of IAC by means of a bibliometric and content analysis of the empirical studies published up to May, 2013. Throughout this paper, the studied topics of IAC were characterized, the most prolific countries, authors and journals were recognized, the most cited publications were detected and the most employed methods were identified.

Introduction. Although the Theory of Planned Behavior has successfully been applied to explain heavy episodic drinking, recent reviews have identified gaps in the literature like the role of gender and scarce research from non English speaking countries. Objective. We aim to broaden the evidence for the Theory of Planned Behavior by evaluating the capacity of the model to predict heavy episodic drinking in Argentinean female and male youth. Methods. Multiple linear and logistic regressions were performed. Results. Attitude was the main predictor of heavy episodic drinking intention; there were gender differences, among women perceived behavioral control and subjective norm were also predictors of heavy episodic drinking intentions. The intention was the main predictor of heavy episodic drinking for both genders, while perceived behavioral control was also a predictor among women. Conclusions. Theory of Planned Behavior allows us to better understand the motivational variables related to heavy episodic drinking intention and performance and thus, to design appropriate prevention interventions.

Background One the most studied psychosocial factors in alcohol drinking are the expectancies of alcohol effects (AE). They refer to the belief that a person holds on the cognitive, behavioural and physical effects of alcohol; they play an important role in the decision to drink. Binge drinking (BD) is characterised by the intake of high amounts of alcohol on a single occasion, and associated with injuries due to traffic and violence. BD is highly prevalent among university students; however in our country the relationship between AE, BD and injuries has not yet been studied. Objective To study the relationship between AE, binge drinking and injuries in university students. Method A locally adapted version of the AEQ was used. The questionnaire assessed positive and negative expectancies. It also included questions on BD and alcohol-related injuries. A convenience sample (N=777) of university students was selected (UNMdP-Argentina). A logistic regression was performed with BD as the outcome variable and the dimensions of expectancies as predictors. Then, the OR for BD and alcohol-related injuries was estimated. Results Positive expectancies increased the probability of BD (OR 1.65 IC 1.5–1.9 p Conclusion Students that hold positive expectancies have a higher probability of BD and of alcohol related-injuries. Understanding which beliefs may predict BD in university students provides information for the design of prevention measures.

- Abstract
Since its emergence in the 70s, the Dual Process Model (DPM) has gained wide popularity in different fields of psychology, including the study of addictions. According to this model, there are two cognitive systems: one explicit, conscious and controllable; and another implicit, automatic and linked to intuition and affection. The DPM has been used to understand mechanisms underlying alcohol related behaviors, and quickly an exponential growth of research using implicit measures to evaluate alcohol related cognitions occurred. While these methods share some basic features, they differ in important aspects such as validity evidence available, administration procedures, etc. Therefore, in this paper we provide a comprehensive overview of the different ways to evaluate implicit alcohol related cognitions. We hope this review will be useful not only for researchers but also for professionals working in the clinical area with alcohol- related problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
We estimated the prevalence of episodes of alcoholinduced amnesia without loss of consciousness - blackouts-, and identified predictors in university students in Argentina and Spain. We used a self-administered structured and anonymous questionnaire that assessed socio-demographic variables, life-time, annual and monthly prevalence of blackouts, alcohol drinking habits, alcohol use disorders, and use of other substances. The adequacy of the predictors was estimated through logistic regressions. Participants were 472 Argentinean (18 to 52 years, 81% female) and 320 Spanish students (18 to 54 years, 83% female), the annual prevalence of episodes of anterograde amnesia was 28 % (IC 95% [24-32) and 47 % (IC 95% [41-53]) respectively. Despite differences in other predictors between students from both countries, in both the probability seemed to be greater among those who binge drink (p>.01, OR=2.02 Argentinean, p>.01, OR=5.27 Spanish) or have an alcohol use disorder (p>.01, OR=3.36 Argentinean, p>.01, OR=6.28 Spanish). Probability of having a monthly blackout increased with life-time prevalence (p>.01, OR=20.71 Argentineans, p>.01, OR=23.33 Spanish). Further research and strategies are needed to reduce drinking and this and other alcohol-related consequences in similar populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Abstract
Background : Personalized Normative Feedback (PNF) aims to modify misperceptions about peer consumption that influence one’s drinking. PNF is usually a component in Brief Interventions delivered to university students. Despite this, whether PNF contributes to improving the effect of brief interventions is unclear.Objectives : This randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the role of PNF as an active ingredient in a face-to-face motivational brief intervention.Results : Participants were students from an Argentinian university (n=806; M=20.14; SD=3.17; 63.2% women) who presented at least one binge drinking episode in the last 12 months. Students were randomly assigned to 1) a Brief Intervention, 2) a Brief Intervention with PNF, or 3) an evaluation-only control group. The follow-up was three months later. After controlling sex and age, General Linear Models showed that both the brief intervention and the brief intervention with PNF reduced the quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption, binge drinking, and alcohol problems compared to the control condition. No differences were found between the brief intervention and the brief intervention with PNF. Also, treating eight students with brief intervention and 10 with brief intervention with PNF was necessary to benefit one student.Conclusions : In conclusion, this study demonstrates that brief intervention reduces alcohol consumption among Latin American university students and that PNF might not be an active ingredient of its effectiveness in this population. However, PNF could benefit students with specific characteristics, like those who overestimate their peers’ drinking, highlighting the need to study moderators of effectiveness further.

DEPENDENCY (Psychology) , *PERSONALITY disorders , *CODEPENDENCY , *INVENTORIES , *ATTENTION - Abstract
Codependency (COD) is a pattern of dysfunctional interpersonal bonding characterized by excessive attention to others´ needs and behaviors, neglecting oneself. It is often confused with emotional dependency (ED) and dependent personality disorder (DPD). In order to contribute to the debate regarding COD as an independent phenomenon, this study evaluates the relationship between these constructs. For this purpose, the Argentine Codependence Scale, the Emotional Dependence Questionnaire and the dependent subscale of the Millon Multiaxial Clinical Inventory were applied to a sample of 261 participants. COD was more strongly related to ED than to DPD. Although the results indicate some overlap between these concepts, this overlap does not seem to be so high as to suggest that COD is equivalent to ED or DPD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La exposición prenatal al alcohol en Argentina es extremadamente alta, por lo que se deben maximizar los esfuerzos para evitar los efectos detrimentales en la madre y el feto. En este trabajo se presentarán dos estudios experimentales cuyo objetivo fue evaluar la eficacia, factibilidad y aceptación cultural de la Intervención Breve (IB) para promover la abstinencia de alcohol durante la gestación. Además se describirá la prevalencia de consumo de alcohol durante la gestación y la eficacia de la evaluación y recomendación de tratamiento especializado en las mujeres con indicadores de trastornos por uso de alcohol. Participaron 882 mujeres gestantes durante el año 2016. Aquellas no abstemias ni en tratamiento por uso de sustancias psicoactivas, con menos de 26 semanas de gestación (n=485) fueron asignadas aleatoriamente a uno de dos grupos: evaluación e IB o evaluación y consejo breve (CB). Un re-test fue conducido tres meses más tarde. Las mujeres con más de 26 semanas de gestación fueron evaluadas como un grupo control adicional (CPH; n=154). El consumo de alcohol fue evaluado con el AUDIT, la factibilidad con los minutos de ejecución de la IB y la aceptabilidad con preguntas construidas ad hoc. Se obtuvieron indicadores de salubridad de los recién nacidos de las madres de los grupos IB (n= 77), CB (n= 68) y de un grupo control externo (CE) de recién nacidos cuyas madres no participaron de la evaluación (n= 150). Se realizaron análisis descriptivos para estimar la prevalencia de consumo de alcohol, la factibilidad y aceptabilidad de la IB. Para determinar la eficacia de la IB se realizaron regresiones logísticas multinomiales, regresiones logísticas binarias y análisis de significancia clínica. Los indicadores de los recién nacidos se compararon utilizando la prueba de los rangos de Wilcoxon. Los resultados mostraron que el 24% de las participantes consumía alcohol al momento de la entrevista. Con respecto a la eficacia de la IB y el CB, a los tres meses, la IB resultó seis veces más eficaz (p = .001, OR = 6.36, [IC95% = 3 - 13]), y el CB cuatro veces más eficaz (p = .001, OR = 4.39, [IC95% = 2 - 8]) para reducir el consumo de alcohol luego de confirmar la gestación o mantener la abstinencia de alcohol, que la atención regular de los centros de atención primaria de la salud del municipio de General Pueyrredon (MGP) representada en el grupo CPH. No se hallaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos IB y CB en la reducción del consumo de alcohol, pero sí en los análisis de significancia clínica. Se registraron diferencias en relación al peso al nacer (p < .05) y la edad gestacional al nacer (p < .001) entre los grupos IB y CB comparados con el CE. La IB demoró en promedio 10 minutos y fue aceptada por un gran número de mujeres. Las participantes con indicadores de TUA redujeron su consumo incluso hasta la abstinencia a los tres meses, luego de la evaluación. Conclusiones: este estudio aporta evidencia sobre la IB, un recurso que ha demostrado ser eficaz para reducir el riesgo de presentar exposición prenatal al alcohol y algunas de las consecuencias detrimentales para el feto asociadas a ello. Además ha sido bien aceptado por el contexto local y sería factible de ser implementado en los centros de atención pública a la salud del MGP. Prenatal alcohol exposure in Argentina is extremely high, so efforts must be taken to prevent detrimental effects on the mother and the fetus. In this work, two experimental studies will be presented whose objective was to evaluate the efficacy, feasibility and cultural acceptance of Brief Intervention (BI) to promote alcohol abstinence during pregnancy. Furthermore, the prevalence of alcohol consumption during pregnancy will be described, and the efficacy of the evaluation and recommendation of specialized treatment on women with alcohol use disorders (AUD). 882 pregnant women participated in 2016. Women who weren´t abstainers, nor where in treatment for psychoactive substances and with less than 26 weeks pregnant (n= 485) were randomly assigned to two groups: evaluation and BI or evaluation and brief advice (BA). A re-test was conducted three months later. Women who were more than 26 weeks pregnant were evaluated as a post hoc control group (PHG; n=154). Alcohol consumption was evaluated with the AUDIT, feasibility with BI implementation time in minutes and acceptability with questions constructed ad hoc. Newborns health indicators born from mothers of BI (n= 77) and BA (n= 68) groups and from an external control group (CG) of newborns born from mothers who did not participate in the evaluation (n= 150) were obtained. Descriptive analysis to estimate alcohol consumption prevalence, feasibility and BI acceptability where performed. To estimate BI efficacy multinomial logistic regression, binary logistic regression and clinical significance analysis where carried out. Health newborn indicators where compared using the Wilcoxon range test. Results show that 24% of participants were consuming alcohol at the moment of the interview. Regarding BI and BA efficacy, three months later BI proved to be six times more efficient (p = .001, OR = 6.36, [IC95% = 3 - 13]), and BA four times more efficient (p = .001, OR = 4.39, [IC95% = 2 - 8]) to reduce alcohol consumption after pregnancy was confirmed or to maintain alcohol abstinence than regular medical advice from the primary health centers from General Pueyrredon municipality (GPM) represented by PHG group. No statistically significant differences were found between BI and BA groups in alcohol consumption reduction, but meaningful clinical significance analysis was found. Differences regarding newborns birth weight (p < .05) and gestational age (p < .001) between BI and BA groups compared with the CG where found. BI lasted 10 minutes on average and was accepted by the great majority of pregnant women. Three months later after BI, participants with AUD indicators had reduced their alcohol consumption even to abstinence. Conclusions: This study provides evidence over an instrument, BI, that reduces the risk to present alcohol prenatal exposure and some of its detrimental consequences on the fetus. Besides, it has been well accepted by the local context and it will be feasible to implement it in public primary health centers in GPM. Fil: Lichtenberger, Aldana.

- Abstract
Alcohol consumption is the leading risk factor for morbi-mortality in many Latin American Countries. However, epidemiologic studies are relatively scarce. Among factors such as limited research capacity, disciplinary traditions and an emphasis on psychopathology within the field of psychology, have been postulated to account for this. The aim of this article is to review epidemiologic research on alcohol in Spanish Speaking Latin American Countries, and to measure the contribution of psychology to the field. A systematic search was performed in English and Spanish using regional and international data bases. We identified 269 articles. Most focused on consumption patterns in youth, with samples from a single school and using a variety of measures. With the exception of multinational efforts like Emergency Room Collaborative Alcohol Analysis Project or those supported by World Health Organization/Pan American Health Organization, studies reviewed reflected little cross country collaboration. Mexico accounted for most of the productivity, while many countries had very few or no articles. Most research was performed by health science researchers with a small contribution from psychology, but which increased significantly over time. The results of this review provide a broad identification of patterns regarding epidemiologic research on alcohol, and demonstrate the need for national scientific policies to promote research on public health topics., (© 2016 International Union of Psychological Science.)

- Abstract
Different survey modalities have been developed to assess alcohol consumption and related problems. Research that compares data quality between survey modalities is scarce in Latin America. The aim of this study was to assess data quality in three survey modalities on alcohol consumption: self-administered online, self-administered hard-copy, and face-to-face interviews. Data were obtained from three probabilistic samples of students (n = 60 each) from the National University of Mar del Plata, Argentina, using the same questionnaire. Data quality was measured for each modality by overall response rate, item response rate, and accuracy. Data accuracy was evaluated as the percentage of self-reported binge drinking, positive results on AUDIT, and internal consistency of AUDIT for each modality. The overall and item response rates were lower in the online modality and similar between the other two. No differences were found between modalities in the accuracy of responses.
