A text message intervention aimed at nurturing peer outreach to help meet drinking limit goals: A remote pilot randomized trial in non-collegiate young adults
CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary findings from this pilot study suggest that a text message intervention focused on nurturing peer outreach to help meet drinking limit goals holds promise in altering peer support and pressure as well as boosting drinking limit goal confidence. Design improvements are needed to reduce alcohol consumption.PMID:38552400 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108020 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

Latent profile analysis of college students' alcohol and cannabis co-use patterns after recreational cannabis legalization
CONCLUSIONS: RCL was positively associated with patterns of frequent cannabis use and frequent and intense co-use but also with abstinence. Use of alcohol-only became less prevalent after RCL. Research on how RCL influences the prevalence of problematic patterns of substance use will inform and improve prevention efforts.PMID:38520816 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108021 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

Smoking cessation in pregnant women: A randomized controlled trial investigating the effectiveness of an eHealth intervention including heart rate variability-biofeedback training
CONCLUSION: Program usage and motivation to quit are important for smoking reduction in pregnant women. Further research is needed to examine how the intervention could be improved to increase treatment effectiveness.PMID:38513327 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108005 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

Differentiating action from inaction: Longitudinal relations among impulsive personality traits, internalizing symptoms, and drinking behavior
CONCLUSIONS: Distinct impulsive traits prospectively predicted heavy drinking and internalizing symptoms, both of which conferred risk for negative alcohol consequences. Findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions based on personality and suggest that decreases in drinking may be more effective prevention for those who lack premeditation, whereas decreases in internalizing, particularly depression/stress, may be critical for those high in negative urgency.PMID:38502991 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108019 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

Can we predict adolescent cannabis use? A Bayesian semi-parametric approach to project future trends
This study aims to summarize cannabis consumption during the last two decades and project trends among 15-year-olds in the 2021-22 HBSC survey. A Bayesian semi-parametric hierarchical model was adopted to estimate the trend of cannabis consumption using data of about 287,000 adolescents from the 2001/2002 to the 2017/2018 HBSC wave and the 38 countries that met the inclusion criteria. Data show an overall decline in most countries for both boys and girls. However, in 22 countries of 38 cannabis use is expected to increase again in our projection. The discussion of these findings should take into account cultural, policy, s...

Sign-tracking to non-drug reward is related to severity of alcohol-use problems in a sample of individuals seeking treatment
CONCLUSIONS: Our work demonstrates that involuntary sign-tracking to cues signalling non-drug reward is associated with problematic alcohol use and return to use at 3-month follow up, in a treatment-seeking sample. Whether this automatic prioritisation of cues signalling reward is a consequence or vulnerability for problematic alcohol use remains to be investigated.PMID:38479081 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108010 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

Cash outs during in-play sports betting: Who, why, and what it reveals
Addict Behav. 2024 Mar 7;154:108008. doi: 10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCashing out is a popular feature of modern 'in-play' sports betting that allows sports bettors to withdraw a bet before the sporting event on which the bet was placed is finalized. Previous studies have shown that use of the cash out feature is positively related to problem gambling symptomatology. However, little is known about demographic and psychological characteristics of in-play sports bettors who use the cash out feature, or their motivations for use. To fill this knowledge gap, we recruited 224 adults (18 + years) ...
