How well do DSM-5 criteria measure alcohol use disorder in the general population of older Swedish adolescents? An item response theory analysis
CONCLUSION: DSM-5 criteria measure AUD with better precision at higher levels of AUD severity than at lower levels. As most older adolescents who fulfil an AUD diagnosis are in the mild category, notable uncertainties are involved when an AUD diagnosis is set in this group.PMID:38460492 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108007 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

Impaired social reward processing in individuals with Internet gaming disorder and its relationship with early face perception
In conclusion, the present study suggests that the impaired social reward processing in individuals with IGD is mainly manifested in a decreased neural sensitivity to real-life social reward. Meanwhile, the reduced RewP elicited by real-life social reward and the enhanced N170 elicited by game avatar face might serve as potential biomarkers for IGD.PMID:38457987 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108006 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

A daily-level examination of willingness to pregame, blackout, and hook up across drinking days: Associations with respective behavioral outcomes among adolescents and young adults
Addict Behav. 2024 Feb 29;153:108004. doi: 10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResearch indicates general willingness to drink (i.e., "How willing are you to drink tonight?") fluctuates day-to-day and is associated with daily-level drinking. However, it is unknown whether willingness to engage in specific alcohol-related behaviors is associated with actual engagement in those behaviors above and beyond general willingness to drink at the daily level. The present study examined whether daily-level willingness to engage in specific behaviors (i.e., pre-gaming, blacking out, hooking up) predicted engag...

Increasing lifetime and past 30-day marijuana use among middle school students regardless of recreational marijuana sales
This study investigated whether adult use marijuana sales were associated with changes in lifetime and past 30-day (P30D) marijuana use among middle school students in Nevada (NV), which had adult-use marijuana sales during the study period, compared to New Mexico (NM), which did not have adult-use marijuana sales during the study period.METHODS: Data were drawn from the middle school 2017 and 2019 NV Youth Risk Behavior and NM Youth Risk and Resiliency Surveys. Difference-in-difference analyses compare changes in lifetime and P30D marijuana use in NV (adult-use sales implemented July 2017) vs. NM (no adult-use sales durin...

Prevalence and correlates of alcohol use among the elderly in the Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network (ECHORN) cohort study
CONCLUSION: We provide current estimates of alcohol problems among elderly Eastern Caribbean people. Among the sociodemographic, psychological, and cultural correlates examined, religious attendance was significant. Replicate longitudinal studies using DSM-5 alcohol dependence are recommended.PMID:38447411 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108001 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

Association between endocrine and neuropsychological endophenotypes and gambling disorder severity
CONCLUSIONS: These results provide updated information about the comprehension of the interaction between neuroendocrine features, clinical variables, and severity of GD. Thus, neurobiological functions seem to be strongly related to GD severity.PMID:38447412 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.107968 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

Correlates of using E-cigarettes with high nicotine concentrations among U.S. adults who exclusively vape E-cigarettes or dual use with cigarettes
CONCLUSIONS: High-nicotine e-cigarette use might be elevated in subpopulations that face greater risks for vaping (e.g., never smokers, young adults) than groups who benefit from the potential harm reduction. Regulatory restrictions on high-nicotine products may selectively affect some subgroups adversely impacted by vaping.PMID:38432013 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.107986 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)

A four-year longitudinal analysis examining the effects of e-cigarette advertisements and disparities among youth with internalizing problems
CONCLUSIONS: E-cigarette advertisements can exert a lasting influence indirectly by diminishing harm perception, particularly among those with lower internalizing problems. Adolescents with higher internalizing problems exhibit lower susceptibility to advertisement influence, yet their perceived harm of e-cigarettes is notably lower than their peers with fewer internalizing problems. These disparities underscore the need for tailored prevention strategies: implementing anti-e-cigarette education programs for adolescents with low internalizing problems and providing mental health care for those facing internalizing challeng...
