This study investigates the roles of stress, cognitive function, and emotional (affective) responses as mechanisms contributing to opioid misuse in individuals with a history of interpersonal trauma, such as intimate partner violence or childhood abuse. It is the first to examine these factors together, offering a comprehensive approach to understanding how these interconnected mechanisms might influence opioid misuse.
This course is based on the reading-based online article, Exploring Stress Cognitive and Affective Mechanisms of the Relationship Between Interpersonal Trauma and Opioid Misuse created by Jessica Roberts Williams et al in 2020.
