CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

180
Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

    Summary

    Screening older adults for alcohol use disorder (AUD) is crucial as risky drinking increases. The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test is effective, but more research is needed on optimal tools and interpretation for this population.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Public Health
    • Addiction Medicine

    Background:

    • The population of older adults is growing, leading to an increase in alcohol-related issues.
    • Screening for alcohol use disorder (AUD) in older adults is essential for early intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct a scoping review of research on screening tools for AUD in adults aged 60 and older.
    • To identify existing research gaps in the literature regarding AUD screening in this demographic.

    Main Methods:

    • Searched Medline, APA PsycINFO, and CINAHL for studies on older adults, screening tools, AUD, and instrument evaluation.
    • Utilized Covidence software for study screening and data extraction, focusing on instruments, evaluation methods, and findings.

    Main Results:

    • Seven studies met the eligibility criteria; none were conducted in the United States.
    • The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and its variations were most frequently used and effective for detecting at-risk drinking in older adults.
    • Some studies indicated that lower screening thresholds may be appropriate for older adults.

    Conclusions:

    • Reliable AUD screening tools are necessary as more older adults engage in risky drinking.
    • Current research is limited, highlighting a need for further investigation into the best-performing screening tools across different settings.
    • More research is required on interpreting screening instrument results specifically for the older adult population.
