However, few studies have sought to understand how these psychological factors
may converge and differentially relate to PSMU severity. Thus, the current study

Problematic Internet Use, Online Racism, and Mental Health Issues Among Racially Minoritized Emerging Adults in the United States
AbstractProblematic internet use has been linked with numerous mental health issues. However, little research has examined the relevant factors that may explain this association.

Thus, we examined whether problematic internet use is associated with mental health issues through exposure to online racism. Using data from 338 racially minoritized emerging adults (Mage = 23.28,SD = 2.38), we conducted a path analysis of problematic in...

Non-pharmacological Interventions for Problematic Substance Use: a Rapid Overview of Cochrane Systematic Reviews
AbstractA Rapid review of Cochrane Systematic Reviews to identify the non-pharmacological interventions in substance use treatment services and their effectiveness levels where reported. Cochrane systematic reviews were matched to the inclusion criteria and data extracted. A total of 667 studies and 532041 participants are included. The non-pharmacological interventions found can be grouped into three categories: information dissemination, non-specialized face to face interactions, and qualified therapeutic interventions. The measured intervention effectiveness ranged from poor to moderate. The most often reported...
