Credits: 1 CE Hours

Impulsivity is a multidimensional set of traits associated with risk for initiation and escalation of substance use culminating in substance use disorder. An extensive body of research has characterized the relationship between domains of impulsivity (e.g., sensation seeking, positive and negative urgency, delay discounting) with addictive behaviors in adolescent and young adult populations. Considerably less research has examined the relationship between these processes in middle-to-older adult samples. Three domains of impulsivity—delay discounting, prepotent response inhibition, and impulsive behavior-related personality traits—were associated with addictive behaviors across developmental stages. Future research is needed to reliably measure impulsivity among older adults in order to develop targeted interventions for this age group.

Course Description: Impulsivity is a multidimensional set of traits associated with risk for initiation and escalation of substance use culminating in substance use disorder. An extensive body of research has characterized the relationship between domains of impulsivity (e.g., sensation seeking, positive and negative urgency, delay discounting) with addictive behaviors in adolescent and young adult populations. Considerably less research has examined the relationship between these processes in middle-to-older adult samples. Three domains of impulsivity—delay discounting, prepotent response inhibition, and impulsive behavior-related personality traits—were associated with addictive behaviors across developmental stages. Future research is needed to reliably measure impulsivity among older adults in order to develop targeted interventions for this age group.
