Objectives: Alcohol metabolism is changed in gastric bypass patients, leading to faster resorption and higher alcohol peak concentrations in blood. Because of stronger alcohol effects after gastric bypass we suggest that also general cognitive function is stronger impaired. Materials and Methods: We included 28 females (12 gastric bypass patients, 8 obese and 8 normal weight subjects) in the study. Each participant had to drink 250 ml white wine. Directly before, 10-30 min after and 45-65 min after wine consumption cognitive functions were tested by test battery for attentional performance (TAP) from Zimmermann and Fimm. During the whole examination breath-alcohol-contents (BACs) were measured every 5 minutes with breathalyser "Dräger Alcotest 7510".
This study deploys a strategy to develop and evaluate a training-efficient, multimedia patient-centered Health Education Toolkit to promote shared decision making between counselors and patients. An existing evidence-based toolkit intervention will be adapted and redesigned by a patient and provider team into an engaging, narrative graphic novel curriculum useful in group and individual counseling. The proven behavioral interventions will be augmented with health education material focused on medication assisted treatment (MAT). We will assess feasibility and acceptability, and pilot test whether exposure to the Toolkit (TK) can shared decision making conversations, reduce substance use, and increase engagement with MAT.

The efficacy, safety, and dose-response of nalmefene hydrochloride at 10 mg and 20 mg in patients with alcohol dependence will be evaluated in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-parallel-group comparative trial. The superiority of nalmefene hydrochloride at 20 mg to placebo will be verified in terms of reduction of alcohol consumption.
The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate an intervention that aims to reduce alcohol-related HIV sexual risk behaviors among HIV-negative men in Namibia.

This study will offer the first formal assessment for sexual violence (SV) in the college student health center setting, developed for a high risk group of college students, and is designed to facilitate patient and provider comfort in discussing sexual violence and related abusive experiences (including the role of alcohol) via semi-scripted screening tools. The intervention specifically involves the training of all clinical staff (health educators, counselors, medical assistants, nurses, and clinicians) to deliver a universal education and brief counseling intervention titled GIFTSS (Giving Information for Trauma Support and Safety) to all clients seeking college health services integrated into usual clinical practice, provide universal education about SV regardless of disclosure, counsel clients on harm reduction strategies to reduce risk for SV, and provide supported referrals to sexual assault advocates, with the goal of reducing SV among college students.
