Introduction
Although psychoactive substance use disorders
(PSUD) belong to the domain of mental health, their management
varies greatly among European countries. Furthermore, both the
role of psychiatrists and trainees in the treatment of PSUD is not
the same for each European country.
Aims
Among the context of the European Federation of Psychi-
atric Trainees (EFPT), the PSUD Working Group has developed a
survey to carry out in year 2016, at the aim of gathering informa-
tion about the training in PSUD in Europe, both from Child and
Adolescent, and General Adult Psychiatric (CAP and GAP) trainees.
Objectives
The survey will investigate, at European level, the
organisation of the PSUD training, trainees satisfaction, attitudes
towards people who use psychoactive substances, management of
pharmacologic and involvement in common clinical situations.
Methods
A 70-items questionnaire regarding the aforemen-
tioned objectives has been developed, and will be shared trough
an online data-collecting system among European CAP and GAP
trainees, with 40 trainees per country filling the survey in at least
30 countries (sample expected population of 1200). One national
coordinator per country will facilitate the delivering of the survey.
Results
Twent-five national coordinators were enrolled so far.
It is still needed to reach coordinators from other 5 European
countries to fulfil the above criteria and start the study.
Conclusions
This survey will be the first to explore European psy-
chiatric trainees attitudes and practices about PSUD. Findings from
this independent survey may serve in understanding the needs of
trainees in the field of substance misuse psychiatry.

Background and aims
The recommendations of duration of treat-
ment for alcohol use disorders (AUD) in clinical guidelines are based
on consensus decisions. There is a risk that patients will receive too
little or too much therapy. We hypothesize that there is an associa-
tion between duration and effect up until a point where the effects
of treatment diminish.
Methods
A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized
controlled trials of psychosocial interventions in the alcohol out-
patient treatment centers. Population: adults (> 17 years) suffering
from AUD treated with at least two sessions of therapy.
Statistics
Multiple linear regression analysis with outcome mea-
sured in percentage of days abstinent (PDA), percentage of heavy
days drinking (PHD), drinks per drinking day (DDD) and/or pro-
portion of participants abstinent (ABS) as a function of duration of
treatment.
Results
Forty-four studies with 8485 participants were included.
Mean duration: 18 (8–82) weeks and 15 (2–36) sessions. Mean
follow-up time: 43 (8–104) weeks with amean of 5 (2–18) research
assessments. Only ABS was significantly associated with duration
of treatment; ABS increased with 1.6%-point (
P
< 0.01) with each
additional week in treatment. Surprisingly the analysis showed
that each research assessment increased PDA with 11%-point
(
P
< 0.001), decreased PHD with 4%-point (
P
< 0.05) and decreased
DDD with 8%-point (
P
< 0.001).
Conclusion
Duration of treatment was associated positively with
proportion of participants abstinent but not percentage of days
abstinent drinks per drinking day or percentage of heavy drinking
days. The three latter outcomes were affected positively by number
of research assessments.

Background
Longitudinal studies on how temperament is related
to alcohol use in general population are scarce.
Objectives
Finding relations with temperament and problematic
alcohol use using prospective birth cohort data.
Aims
To investigate trends in self-reported alcohol consumption
in adulthood.
Methods
In the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (
n
= 5247),
alcohol use was studied with questionnaires at ages 31 and 46. Par-
ticipants were classified into abstainers, bingers, heavy drinkers,
steady drinkers, increasers or reducers based on the change in con-
sumption (g/day). Cloninger’s TCI-scores were calculated for each
group. Multinomial regression analysis was conducted with TCI-
scores as factors influencing the change in alcohol consumption.
