Avoidance biases for vaping stimuli among college students with electronic-cigarette use
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 use demonstrated a significant avoidance bias to vaping-related stimuli, and this effect appeared to be primarily driven by female e-cigarette users. Further, we found that more severe e-cigarette use was associated with numerous adverse outcomes, including reduced quality of life and increased vaping cravings, depressive symptoms, perceived stress, and cannabis use severity. Overall, o...

Prevalence and characteristics of co-occurrence of smoking and increasing-and-higher-risk drinking: A population survey in England
CONCLUSION: In England, from April 2020 to March 2022, the prevalence of both smoking and increasing-and-higher-risk drinking was 4.6%. This group appears to experience high rates of mental health problems and targeted support is needed.PMID:38091779 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2023.107928 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

Cannabis use and neurocognitive performance at 13-14 Years-Old: Optimizing assessment with hair toxicology in the Adolescent brain cognitive development (ABCD) study
CONCLUSIONS: Youth who had used cannabis showed lower scores on an episodic memory task, and more cannabis use was linked to poorer performances on verbal, inhibitory, working memory, and episodic memory tasks. Combining hair toxicology with self-report revealed more brain-behavior relationships than self-report data alone. These youth will be followed to determine long-term substance use and neurocognition trajectories.PMID:38091780 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2023.107930 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

Psychiatric and substance use disorders among adults over age 50 who use cannabis: A matched cohort study using electronic health record data
CONCLUSIONS: Over a two-year period, diverse adults age 50 + in Hawai'i with ICD-10 cannabis codes experienced higher rates of subsequent psychiatric and SUDs compared to controls. These findings can guide efforts to inform older adults about possible cannabis-related risks.PMID:38086211 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2023.107927 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

E-cigarette and combustible cigarette cessation patterns, reasons, and methods among adolescents, young adults, and adults
This study utilizes a national, cross-sectional online survey of 6131 diverse participants aged 13-40 years to examine reasons for quitting e-cigarettes or cigarettes, quit methods, and quit attempt outcomes among AYAs and adults. In our sample, 3137 (51.2%) had ever used an e-cigarette, of whom 2310 (37.7%) were aged 13-24 years and 827 (13.5%) were 25-40 years old; 2387 (38.9%) had ever used a combustible cigarette (1440 [23.5%] were 13-24 years old and 947 [15.4%] were 25-40 years old). Among e-cigarette ever-users, 39.4% of 13-24-year-olds intended to quit in the next 6 months, and 36.9% had a serious plan for quitting...

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
CONCLUSIONS: Parental smoking and vaping behaviours are associated with those of their children. Hence, it is important that both tobacco and vaping control policies and interventions are designed to influence behaviours of all demographics, consistent with the evidence.PMID:38065007 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2023.107931 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

Why young adults use tobacco-free nicotine E-cigarettes: An analysis of qualitative data
CONCLUSION: These qualitative data suggest that taste and perceived health benefits are primary reasons that young adults try TFN e-cigarettes. Compared to TDN, young adults perceive TFN as better tasting with different psychoactive and less aversive effects. Determining if these perceived reasons for use and differences occur in blinded human experimental studies is a necessary next step to understanding TFN e-cigarette use. Additionally, understanding why young adults use TFN e-cigarettes is important in the development of prevention communication about these products.PMID:38056193 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2023.107925 (Sou...

Substance use typologies among young people experiencing homelessness in seven cities across the United States: A latent class analysis
