Abstract

Reports an error in "Initiation and retention in couples outpatient treatment for parents with drug and alcohol use disorders" by Abby L. Braitman and Michelle L. Kelley (Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology, 2016[Jun], Vol 24[3], 174-184). In the article, there are errors in Table 2. In the corrected table, the impact of Men's perpetration of violence changes from a non-significant trend (p <.10) to a significant effect (p <.05). Also within Table 2, Women's dyadic cohesion effect changed from a significant finding to a non-significant trend (p.10). The primary conclusions of the article are unchanged. The corrected table is shown in the erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2016-17685-001.) The focus of the current study was to identity mental health, relationship factors, substance use related problems, and individual factors as predictors of couples-based substance abuse treatment initiation and attendance. Heterosexual couples with children that met study criteria were invited to attend 12 sessions of outpatient behavioral couples therapy. Men were more likely to initiate treatment if they had a higher income, had greater relationship satisfaction, were initiating treatment for alcohol use disorder only, were younger when they first suspected a problem, and had higher depression but lower hostility or phobic anxiety. Men attended more treatment sessions if they reported less intimate partner victimization, if they sought treatment for both alcohol and drug use disorder, if they were older when they first suspected a substance use problem, and if they were more obsessive-compulsive, more phobic anxious, less hostile, and experienced less somatization and less paranoid ideation. For women, treatment initiation was associated with less cohesion in their relationships, more somatization, and being older when they first suspected an alcohol or drug use problem. Trends were observed between women's treatment retention and being older, experiencing more somatization, and suspecting drug-related problems when they were younger; however, no predictors reached statistical significance for women.

RESULTS suggest that different factors may be associated with men and women's willingness to initiate and attend conjoint treatment for substance abuse. (PsycINFO Database Record
