A systematic review and meta-analysis of psychosocial interventions for persons with comorbid anxiety and substance use disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background & aims

Anxiety and substance use disorders are highly comorbid and represent two of the leading causes of disease burden globally. Psychosocial interventions are important treatment options for people with co-occurring anxiety and substance use (A-SUD). To date, few reviews have assessed the efficacy of psychosocial treatments for patients with A-SUD. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to synthesize this literature and assess the efficacy of psychosocial interventions among patients with A-SUD.

Methods

We searched all relevant records published until March 2023 in Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Google Scholar. Two authors extracted and reconciled relevant data and assessed risk of bias. Random effects models were used to calculate effect sizes us
