Targeting women Veteran's stress-induced drinking with cognitive reappraisal: Mechanisms and moderators of change
Emotion dysregulation mediates the effects of stress on drinking among individuals with co-occurring emotional and alcohol use disorders (AUD). The current study examined the effects of cognitive reappraisal (CR), an adaptive emotion regulation strategy, on mechanisms that contribute to drinking (alcohol craving, inhibitory control) among 50 women veterans. In session one, participants were randomized to one of two 50-min “microinterventions”, either to learn a CR coping strategy or receive non-therapeutic psychoeducation control.
