Rehab News: Educational attainment may improve alcohol treatment outcome

A person's educational achievements may help to predict the outcome of alcohol treatment, research has shown.

Researchers from Harvard Medical School claim that the findings suggest that patients could be matched to different forms of alcohol treatment depending on the level of education they received.

Their study looked at 101 people between 1993 and 1996, all of whom had been hospitalised for alcohol dependence, and monitored their progress for one year after discharge.

The researchers found that they could largely predict the outcome of a person's alcohol treatment by looking at the number of years of education they completed.

Shelly Greenfield, assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, revealed: "Lower levels of educational attainment among patients in alcohol treatment before they entered treatment predicted a poorer outcome in the year following discharge from treatment."

Professor Greenfield said that talking therapies and group therapies "may be less successful in people who have lower levels of education, which may in turn reflect different styles of learning".

She suggested that professionals should question how individuals with different levels of educational attainment might respond to different forms of alcohol treatment.

"The bottom line is trying to make treatment optimal for people who are trying to help themselves with an alcohol problem," she added.

The study is published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.
