There is so many possible variations of questions which can come up its ridiculous and this table doesn’t even include them all. Looking at this however there is a handful of questions I would personally be focusing more on than others. Remember however they generally give you 3 questions in the exam so I will try give you a handful to focus on on simply giving 3 is really risky.
The biological approach to smoking/gambling: Its not one thats had much focus on. It appeared as a 4 marker yes but with this whole stolen van situation I’m going to go out on a limb and say its going to make an appearance in some form whether its initiation, maintenance of relapse.
The Cognitive approach to smoking/gambling: Again its one that’s not appeared in a while. Last appeared in June 2012 so its overdue an appearance in some form similar to the one above (be it initiation, maintenance or relapse).
Media influences on addictive behaviour: Hasn’t appeared in ages (or ever?). I would revise this.
Biological/Psychological/Public health interventions: All 3 are equally possible in my eyes although biological or psychological probably a bit more likely than public health interventions considering it appeared in June 2013.
Yes there is a lot – but that;s Addiction for you. Those are my Addiction June 2015 predictions and the ones I would give particular focus to.
