The role of assisted self-help in services for alcohol-related disorders
2011, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :Only 59% of participants in the bibliotherapy condition of a general practice study by Heather, Campion, Neville, and Maccabe (1987) actually received bibliotherapy. A limitation of bibliotherapies is their reliance on reading, which discourages participation and retention of people with limited reading ability or education, even when reading requirements are reduced (Kavanagh & Connolly, 2009; Kavanagh et al., 1999). Furthermore, recruitment of young people presents challenges.
Development of self-efficacy and expectancy measures for benzodiazepines
2009, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :In consequence, it predicts achievements across a wide range of tasks (Bandura, 1982), including control of problematic substance use (Bandura, 1999; Kavanagh, Sitharthan, Spilsbury, & Vignaendra, 1999). It typically retains a significant predictive effect even after past performance is taken into account (Kavanagh, Pierce, Lo, & Shelley, 1993; Kavanagh et al., 1999). In a clinical context, self-efficacy has utility in identifying when clients require additional assistance in consolidating skills, so they have sufficient confidence to maintain their performance gains.
