TOPIC  

Topic Selection: Final Topic Selection

Final Topic of Interest:

Addiction: Do peer recovery support treatments like SMART Recovery and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) have long-term abstinence in alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients with comorbid mental disorders? 

Gap Statement: Recruitment took place regionally in the metro areas of Boston and San Diego, making it impossible to determine how representative these regions are of all SMART Recovery group participant characteristics on a national or international scale. A significant portion of the recruitment took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have influenced estimates in ways that are not generalizable to other timeframes. (Kelly et al. 2023, p. 1939).
