Exposure to violence has been found to predict cocaine use, but evidence is limited in terms of how different forms of exposure to violence impact use and how the relevance of these relationships may vary across adolescence and emerging adulthood. This study tested for differential salience of witnessed violence and direct victimization predictors of cocaine use during adolescence and emerging adulthood. The present study analyzed data from all waves of the Pathways to Desistance study. Mixed effects logistic regression was used to assess whether either form of exposure to violence influenced cocaine use and whether that influence was more or less salient in adolescence versus emerging adulthood. Results indicated that only direct victimization significantly influenced cocaine use. This effect demonstrated a quadratic growth pattern; first diminishing in salience in its impact on cocaine use when experienced throughout adolescence and then becoming more salient when experienced during emerging adulthood.

While fun in the workplace has been demonstrated to favorably influence a variety of attitudinal and behavioral outcomes in previous research (Michel et al., 2019), the present study demonstrates that fun bears a complex relationship with employee alcohol and marijuana use. With a sample of 378 individuals employed in the hospitality and retail industries, manager support for fun and fun activities were negatively related to after-work employee substance use through subjective stress. In addition, both aspects of fun in the workplace were positively related to substance use through coworker socializing. In this light, fun in the workplace may be a double-edged sword in the context of human resource management. These findings are discussed, along with opportunities for future research.
虽然在之前的研究中，工作场所的乐趣已被证明对各种态度和行为结果产生有利影响(Michel et al.， 2019)，但本研究表明，乐趣与员工饮酒和吸食大麻有着复杂的关系。以378名在酒店和零售行业工作的个人为样本，通过主观压力，经理对娱乐和娱乐活动的支持与员工下班后的物质使用呈负相关。此外，工作场所乐趣的两个方面都与同事社交中的物质使用呈正相关。这样看来，在人力资源管理的背景下，工作场所的乐趣可能是一把双刃剑。讨论了这些发现，以及未来研究的机会。

Contrasting widespread speculation in the media and public debate about spiking (administration of a substance to a person without their knowledge/consent), empirical evidence on the subject is lacking. This study aimed to investigate the assumed prevalence, perceived likelihood, and fear of drink-versus needle-spiking, and associated mental strain. Data from a cross-sectional online-survey (November 2022 – January 2023) of 1916 adults connected to Berlin’s nightlife-scene were analyzed. Almost a quarter reported having experienced drink-spiking, but only a small fraction sought medical or police attention; about 1% suspected needle-spiking. Presumptive victims of drink-spiking rated the likelihood and fear of spiking significantly higher and exhibited more symptoms of depression and anxiety. Considering toxicological and police findings, the reported prevalence and perceived likelihood of spiking seem to be highly overestimated. This, in conjunction with associated mental strain, highlights the importance of adequately addressing the issue of spiking through psychoeducation, prevention, and interprofessional investigation.

Fewer than 1% of United States’ largest corrections facilities allow access to MOUD. The cascade of care is an organizing framework that quantifies treatment processes within and across systems of care ranging from screening to treatment discharge. This study highlights best practices for the implementation of MOUD across the cascade of care, addressing unique characteristics of legal settings and individuals within them. After reviewing best-practices for MOUD implementation in legal settings and examining jail and community provider’s use of and goals toward improving these practices, this study concludes that despite interest from agencies to improve care considerable variation remains in treatment availability between agencies and within agencies at different stages of incarceration. Seamless systems of care require multiagency collaboration, staff and provider competency, and patient awareness of MOUD. These strategies will decrease punishment-oriented ideologies surrounding MOUD application in justice settings and improve access to resources that remove barriers to care.

Cannabis consumption among aging adults in Canada is increasing. The aims of the study were to examine cannabis consumption patterns before and after non-medical cannabis legalization and assess whether these patterns differ between men and women. Data were analyzed from Canadian respondents in a repeat cross-sectional survey conducted in 2018–2021. Analyses were conducted among adults aged 55–65 ( n = 18,177) who had consumed cannabis in the past 12-month ( n = 4119). Past 12-month cannabis consumption significantly increased among 55–65-year-olds from 2018 (19.3%) to the first-year post-legalization in 2019 (24.5%; p < .001), but remained stable thereafter (24.3%, and 25.6% in 2020 and 2021). More men reported past 12-month consumption than women (28.4% vs. 21.4%; p < .001). A substantial number of cannabis consumers consumed to manage a physical or mental health condition. Targeted messaging might be beneficial for this age group, including possible interactions with other medications. This research may be helpful for informing age-adapted cannabis education.

Adolescent electronic cigarette (e-cigarettes) use is a major public health concern. However, there is a relative dearth of literature on factors that prevent the use of e-cigarettes for adolescents. The purpose of the present study was to focus on five protective factors relevant for the prevention of adolescent e-cigarette use. We tested these factors with a large sample of adolescents within a single anlaytic model that allowed for making comparisons among protective factors as well as replicating findings from prior research. Secondary data analysis was conducted on a large sub-sample ( n = 33, 193) of data from students who participated in a school survey in the state of Utah. Results from logistic regression indicated that belief in a moral order ( OR = 2.30, p < .001), perceived risk of e-cigarette use ( OR = 2.22, p < .001), family management ( OR = 1.62, p < .001), and commitment to school ( OR = 1.43, p < .001) were significantly associated with abstaining from e-cigarette use in the past 30-days. Implications of the findings are discussed in the context of preventing adolescent e-cigarette use.

In recent years there has been an increase in cannabis use among adults in the U.S., which corresponds with changes in state-level laws making cannabis available for medical/recreational use. While cannabis became available for medical use in Florida in 2014, it was not until a ban on smoking cannabis was lifted in 2019 that the number of patients began to increase. The data for the current study are the Florida Young Adult Cannabis Study and focus on 415 medical cannabis patients (MCP). We identified several significant differences between male and female MCP. Female MCP initiated regular cannabis use at a younger age and reported more frequent cannabis use. Female MCP were more likely to endorse self-treatment motives while male MCP were more likely to endorse recreational motives. As Florida is one of the largest and most diverse states in the U.S., research on MCP is needed to inform policy.

We examined whether drinking quantity mediated the relationship between descriptive drinking norms and alcohol-related negative consequences, and if this was moderated by protective behavioral strategies (PBS) use. Undergraduate students ( n = 538, 78.0% female, mean age = 21.21 [ SD = 3.62]) from three Spanish universities completed a questionnaire. Simple and moderated mediation analyses were conducted. Drinking quantity fully mediated the relationship between descriptive drinking norms and alcohol consequences, and PBS moderated this relationship. Among participants with high PBS use, the impact of descriptive drinking norms on drinking quantity disappeared. The indirect effect of descriptive drinking norms on alcohol consequences through drinking quantity was significant for individuals with low/moderate PBS use levels, but not for those with high PBS use. Our findings shed light on how descriptive drinking norms influence alcohol-related negative consequences, and suggest that promoting the utilization of PBS could be an effective approach to ameliorate the impact of peer influences on drinking behavior.

Cannabis significantly contributes to the substance use and abuse statistics in South Africa (SA), rendering it a dangerous drug into which research on the contextual motivations and long and short term effects must be conducted. The aim of this review was to determine the availability of cannabis use and CUD research in SA, identify the central issues and themes explored over the past 2 years (2020–2022), and outline literary inconsistencies and shortcomings in cannabis use and CUD-related research in SA. The 16 articles used in this study were sourced from five databases. Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA) was then used to analyse the findings of the study. The study revealed, literature has a thematic focus on one or more of the following: cannabis use and psychophysiological health, determinants of cannabis use and CUD, polysubstance use, legalisation of cannabis in SA, and the effects of cannabis use and CUD.
