A comparison of alcohol typologies using HIV risk behaviors among alcoholic inpatients.
Authors:Scheidt  Douglas M; Windle  Michael
Abstract:Evaluated the strength of associations for HIV risk behavior and 5 typologies of alcoholism (gender, comorbid psychopathology, gamma–delta, family history, and drug abuse) among 802 inpatients (481 men and 321 women; mean age 34.4 yrs) at alcohol treatment centers. Findings suggest that some of the alcohol typologies describe subtypes with significant differences on rates and levels of HIV risk behaviors. Specifically, gender, depression, and anxiety subtypes were not consistently associated with HIV risk; however, the antisocial personality disorder and drug abuse subtypes had the strongest average effect size across a number of indicators of HIV risk behaviors (e.g., condom nonuse, multiple sex partners, and injection drug use). The gamma–delta and family history subtypes also resulted in elevated HIV risk behaviors, although with smaller effect sizes. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
