Alcohol use has been substantially documented as a risk factors for suicide, yet it is unclear how alcohol is associated with suicidal ideation (SI) and behavior (SIB) at the event level. We examined the association between alcohol use and SI using a mixed methods approach that included daily assessments from 13 adults who engage in heavy

Comparing identity, attitudes, and indicators of effectiveness in people who smoke, vape or use heated tobacco products: A cross-sectional study Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2023-12-14 Dimitra Kale, Jamie Brown, Lynne Dawkins, Maciej L. Goniewicz, Corinna Leppin, Harry Tattan-Birch, Lion Shahab
Background There is limited long-term and independent research on heated tobacco products (HTPs). We compared people who used HTPs with those who used nicotine vaping products (NVP) or cigarettes on smoker identity, indicators of effectiveness and, among NVP/HTP users, perceptions of these products. Methods Adults exclusive cigarette smokers (N = 45) and ex-smokers with medium/long-term (>3months)

Components of identity expression in problem and non-problem gamblers Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2023-12-12 Ian P. Albery, Christy Milia, Briony Gunstone, Marcantonio M. Spada, Antony C. Moss
Few studies have examined whether specific aspects of group identification predict problematic and non-problematic addictive behaviours and none have focused on gambling. Applying Leach et al.’s (2008) hierarchical model of in-group identification, we tested the associations between components of self-investment (satisfaction, solidarity, and centrality) and components of self-definition (individual

Avoidance biases for vaping stimuli among college students with electronic-cigarette use Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2023-12-10 Skyler M. Sklenarik, Marc N. Potenza, Robert S. Astur
Previous research has suggested that individuals who smoke demonstrate a behavioral tendency to approach rather than avoid smoking-related stimuli (i.e., approach bias). This study assessed whether 149 undergraduates with varying levels of e-cigarette use demonstrated an approach bias for vaping-related stimuli on an Approach-Avoidance Task (AAT). In contrast to our hypotheses, participants with e-cigarette

Contexts of social alcohol and cannabis use among sexual minority cisgender women and gender diverse individuals: Event-level differences in alcohol and cannabis use patterns based on the sexual orientations and gender identities of substance use companions Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2023-12-10 Christina Dyar, Emily R. Dworkin, Debra Kaysen
Purpose Sexual minority women and gender diverse individuals assigned female at birth (SMWGD) are at elevated risk for alcohol and cannabis use disorders. It has been posited that characteristics of SMWGD’s substance use companions (i.e., sexual orientation, gender identity) may influence their own use, but few studies have tested this. The current study aimed to examine whether quantity and consequences

Cannabis Use and Neurocognitive Performance at 13-14 Years-Old: Optimizing Assessment with Hair Toxicology in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2023-12-02 Natasha E. Wade, Alexander L. Wallace, Marilyn A. Huestis, Krista M. Lisdahl, Ryan M. Sullivan, Susan F. Tapert
Objective Cannabis is widely used, including in early adolescence, with prevalence rates varying by measurement method (e.g., toxicology vs. self-report). Critical neurocognitive development occurs throughout adolescence. Given conflicting prior brain-behavior results in cannabis research, improved measurement of cannabis use in younger adolescents is needed. Methods Data from the Adolescent Brain

Alcohol, cardiovascular disease and industry funding: A co-authorship network analysis of epidemiological studies Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2023-12-02 Jim McCambridge, Su Golder
Introduction Alcohol’s effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) are controversial. Alcohol industry actors have shown particular interest in this subject, and been extensively involved through research funding, and in other ways, generating concerns about bias, particularly in reviews. Material & methods We conducted a co-authorship network analysis of the primary studies included within a previous

Parent’s awareness of, and influence on, their 14–17-year-old child’s vaping and smoking behaviours; an analysis of 3242 parent–child pairs in Australia Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2023-12-02 Sam Egger, Christina Watts, Anita Dessaix, Alecia Brooks, Emily Jenkinson, Paul Grogan, Becky Freeman
Background Vaping by young people in Australia is a rapidly emerging public health issue. Evidence shows that parental behaviours and attitudes can play a key role in influencing adolescent behaviours. Considering the health harms of vaping and evidence that it can be a gateway to tobacco smoking for never-smokers, it is important to understand whether parents’ smoking and vaping behaviours influence
