AbstractAs in other areas of science, understanding in the addictions can progress by analogy, by taking concepts from a relatively well-understood area and applying them to another domain. This process helped increase our understanding of gambling, by using prior insights from substance-based addictions, and gambling has, in turn, served as an analogy for loot boxes: gambling-liked elements in video games. Although this could be a good way to make rapid initial advances, it could also limit our ability in the long-run to produce a complete understanding of the new area of inquiry. In this think piece I argue that these conceptual links did in fact limit our understanding of gambling in several ways, and that the same pattern is now becoming apparent with loot boxes. Although loot box expenditure correlates robustly with disordered gambling severity, it does not appear to correlate strongly with impulsivity, a key driver of disordered gambling symptomology. People also often gamble to try to win money, but this motivation is rarely observed with loot boxes. Instead, I argue that the enjoyment and meaning that gamers derive from games is a core motivator for loot box expenditure. Video games can bring enjoyment both directly and via the social connections they can help create, and these are motivations seen less frequently in gambling. This example can act as a warning to addiction science on the risks of proceeding via analogy too strictly, and of the need to consider the unique context of each potentially addictive behavior of interest.Keywords: Video gamesloot boxesaddiction psychologyvideo gaming Disclosure statementPhilip Newall is a member of the Advisory Board for Safer Gambling – an advisory group of the Gambling Commission in Great Britain, and in 2020 was a special advisor to the House of Lords Select Committee Enquiry on the Social and Economic Impact of the Gambling Industry.

AbstractBackground American Indian (AI) adolescents report earlier initiation and higher rates of cannabis and alcohol use compared to their non-AI peers. Simultaneous cannabis and alcohol (SCA) use is increasingly common. A primary goal of our research was to identify profiles of cannabis and alcohol use, including SCA use, among AI adolescents using latent class analysis (LCA).Method Data from 1,673 7th–12th grade students attending 45 reservation-area schools throughout the United States who reported using alcohol and/or cannabis in the past year were used to identify the latent classes. Multinomial logistic regression analysis determined associations of sex, grade, and multiethnicity to class membership.Results A four-class solution was found: (1) SCA-Heavier Use (16.1%); (2) SCA-Lighter Use (25.2%); (3) Primarily Cannabis Use (33.3%); and (4) Primarily Alcohol Use (25.4%). Multinomial regression showed higher grade, identifying as multiethnic, and being female were associated with higher likelihood of membership in the SCA class.Conclusion AI adolescents were more likely to be classified in the Primarily Cannabis Use class as compared to all other classes. Characterizing profiles of use may help identify those engaging in risky or co-use and help researchers and clinicians better understand how AI adolescents engage with alcohol and marijuana.Keywords: American Indianadolescentslatent class analysissimultaneous usecannabisalcohol Ethics StatementAll procedures were approved by the university Institutional Review Board and by appropriate tribal research review boards, school boards, and school staff.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 Simultaneous Cannabis and Alcohol use (SCA) is also commonly referred to as simultaneous alcohol and marijuana use (SAM). However, given the negative connotations that have been historically associated with the term marijuana, we have opted to use SCA throughout this manuscript.2 Monitoring the future is a long-term epidemiological study of substance use that surveys U.S. 8th, 10th, and 12th grade adolescents.Additional informationFundingThis research was supported by grant # R01DA003371 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Background Addiction and overdose death associated with high-risk prescription medications such as benzodiazepines and opioids, are significant global issues. Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMP), which allow healthcare providers to track and monitor patients’ high-risk medication history have been implemented widely throughout North America and recently in Victoria, Australia. Australia’s PDMP uses a red alert notification to notify healthcare providers to patients at ‘high risk’ of medication related harm. Very little is known about healthcare providers beliefs about the meaning of these notifications and what impact these meanings have on the clinical encounter and patient outcome.
