Gender disparities in neuropsychological assessment research in drug abuse populations: A systematic review
Conclusions: Women are significantly underrepresented in the research on cognition in drug use. Increased efforts to include more women participants and consistent analysis and reporting of data for potential gender differences will be required to close this gap in knowledge, which may lead to improved substance abuse treatment approaches for women.PMID:38378445 | DOI:10.1080/13854046.2024.2315741 (Source: The Clinical Neuropsychologist)

Managing Mild Cognitive Impairment in the Age of Anti-amyloid Therapies
Since the approval of anti-amyloid therapies, there has been increased focus on recognizing early cognitive changes and treating patients in this stage.Early cognitive changes are not always recognized or diagnosed. When mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is diagnosed, there is not always a comprehensive assessment of comorbidities that contribute to cognitive problems such as sleep disorders, inappropriate medication use, and psychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety, substance abuse. Assessment of MCI should often include imaging, spinal fluid biomarkers, and genetic testing. (Source: The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry)

However, future strategies must employ a strength-based, person-centered approach known as multidimensional wellness. This session aims to introduce the Substance Abuse and Mental health Services Administration (SAMHSA) framework of the 8 Dimensions of Wellness as a primary mental health prevention strategy for aging adults.

Association Between Substance Abuse and Mental Illness Symptoms Screener (SAMISS) Scores and HIV Care Continuum Outcomes in People Newly Diagnosed with HIV in the US South
AbstractMental illness (MI) and substance use (SU) are highly prevalent among people with HIV (PWH) and impact care outcomes. The Substance Abuse and Mental Illness Symptoms Screener (SAMISS) is a validated screener for MI and SU, but it is unknown how screening results at entry to care correlate with subsequent HIV outcomes. This is a retrospective chart review of individuals newly diagnosed with HIV between 2016 and 2019 in a Southern US, safety-net clinic. Baseline demographics, HIV risk factors, socioeconomic variables, and SAMISS screening scores were collected. Outcomes included retention in care, achieving virologic...
