Impulsive decision-making predicts the course of substance-related and addictive disorders
Abstract
Data and do-files for the analyses presented in the paper "Impulsive decision-making predicts the course of substance-related and addictive disorders"
Aims of the analyses: To test whether impulsive decision-making (1) differs between individuals with substance use disorders (SUD) or non-substance-related addictive disorders (ND) and healthy controls and (2) predicts the course of SUD and ND severity after one year.
Design of the study: Baseline and one year follow-up of a prospective-longitudinal community study.
Setting of the study: Clinical interviews and behavioural tasks in the laboratory.
Participants: 338 individuals between age 20 and 26 were selected from a random sample from the registration office files of Dresden, Germany. Participants fulfilled the criteria for one of three groups: SUD, ND, or healthy controls. After one year, we assessed 313 participants again (93%).
Measurements: ND and SUD severity were operationalized with number of DSM-5 symptoms (partly modified for ND) and quantity-frequency indices of use. Four tasks were applied to assess independent facets of impulsive decision-making: 1) delay discounting, 2) risk seeking for gains and 3) for losses, and 4) loss aversion.
