The role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies on posttraumatic stress symptoms and alcohol use problems among individuals experiencing intimate partner violence.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveEmotion regulation is central to the etiology, course, and treatment of both posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and alcohol use disorder. Therefore, it is critical to investigate emotion regulation among populations susceptible to more severe and prolonged PTSS and alcohol use problems, such as those with intimate partner violence. Cognitive emotion regulation strategies are used to modify emotional information and include both presumed adaptive (i.e., acceptance, planning, positive refocusing, reappraisal, putting into perspective) and maladaptive (i.e., self-blame, other-blame, rumination, and catastrophizing) strategies.
methodThis study examined whether specific cognitive emotion regulation strategies are associated with PTSS (PCL-5) and heavy alcohol consumption (Timeline Followback) and problem severity (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test) among couples with alcohol use disorder and physical intimate partner violence (
resultsResults of multilevel models accounting for individuals nested within couples indicated that self-blame, other-blame, and catastrophizing were associated with greater PTSS. Reappraisal was associated with less alcohol consumption and less severe alcohol problems, and catastrophizing was associated with more alcohol consumption.
conclusionsFindings highlight the cognitive emotion regulation strategies most relevant to PTSS and alcohol misuse among a high-risk sample. This information can help guide clinical practice, such as focusing on reducing the maladaptive emotion regulation skills while increasing reappraisal.
