How much THC is in that joint? A daily diary study of young adults' knowledge of the cannabinoid content of cannabis products
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that cannabinoid concentration knowledge may be higher among young adults who report primarily non-flower and medicinally-motivated cannabis use, although cannabinoid concentration knowledge, alone, may not protect against negative substance-related consequences at the day level.PMID:38319080 | DOI:10.15288/jsad.23-00228 (Source: Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs)

Impaired Control (Both Attempts to Control Drinking and Failed Control) as Prospective Predictors of Negative Outcomes among Young Adults who Drink Heavily
CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide further evidence supporting impaired control over alcohol use as a risk factor among young adults. Those reporting both higher attempted and failed control drank the most per day. Either attempted or failed control was associated with negative consequences. Those reporting both higher attempted and failed control may be in greatest need of intensive intervention.PMID:38315139 | DOI:10.15288/jsad.22-00362 (Source: Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs)

Why do only some cohort studies find health benefits from low volume alcohol use? A systematic review and meta-analysis of study characteristics that may bias mortality risk estimates
CONCLUSIONS: Studies with lifetime selection biases may create misleading positive health associations. These biases pervade the field of alcohol epidemiology and can confuse communications about health risks. Future research should investigate whether smoking status mediates, moderates or confounds alcohol-mortality risk relationships.PMID:38289182 | DOI:10.15288/jsad.23-00283 (Source: Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs)

Alcohol and Substance Use Among the Working Age Population: A Nationwide Study of Fall-Related Emergency Department Visits
CONCLUSION: Individuals with alcohol- and substance-use with depression were twice as likely to visit EDs for fall injuries. Higher fall-related ED visits in the WAP were attributed to alcohol and substance use. Identified factors could improve injury prevention and timely intervention among the WAP in the United States.PMID:38270911 | DOI:10.15288/jsad.23-00330 (Source: Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs)

Threat, Distract, and Discredit: cannabis industry rhetoric to defeat regulation of high THC cannabis products in Washington State, USA
CONCLUSION: Cannabis industry actors have leveraged several arguments employed by industry actors of other health compromising products to undermine initiatives to advance public health.

Estimating the Effects of Hypothetical Alcohol Minimum Unit Pricing Policies on Alcohol Use and Deaths: A State Example
CONCLUSIONS: Modestly increasing the prices of the lowest-priced spirits with an MUP policy in a single state could save hundreds of lives annually. This suggests that alcohol MUP policies could be an effective strategy for improving public health in the United States, consistent with the World Health Organization's recommendation.PMID:38252451 | PMC:PMC10846602 | DOI:10.15288/jsad.22-00274 (Source: Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs)
