Sexual and reproductive health behaviors of women with criminal legal involvement and substance use disorders: A life course perspective.
Conclusions: Early life experiences may influence later life sexual and reproductive health behaviors. These experiences must be considered when engaging with women in patient-centered and trauma-informed ways in settings where they seek care including carceral facilities, obstetrics and gynecology and primary care clinics, and substance use disorder treatment programs.

This time with feeling: In-play sports betting as a vehicle for emotion regulation.
Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, Vol 37(8), Dec 2023, 1080-1088; doi:10.1037/adb0000966Objective: The purpose of this research was to assess factors (i.e., emotion regulation, impulsivity) that motivate in-play sports betting. Specifically, we examined whether individuals report increased excitement after placing an in-play bet and whether trait negative and positive urgency moderate the effect of emotion regulation motives on in-play betting frequency. Method: Three cross-sectional studies were conducted, each following a major sporting event: Superbowl LVI (56) (Study 1), March Madness Final (Study 2), and Union of Eur...

Reasons for past abortions among women in treatment for opioid use disorder.
Conclusions: Like women in the general population, women in treatment for OUD had not only abortions because of financial, timing, and partner-related reasons but also concerns about the effects of their drug use. These results underscore the multiple and often interrelated reasons that lead women to seek abortion.

Alcohol intoxication, condom use rationale, and men’s coercive condom use resistance: The role of past unintended partner pregnancy.
Conclusions: Intoxicated men may be more likely to engage in coercive CUR; this may indicate that when intoxicated, pregnancy risks are less salient relative to STI-related outcomes. As reproductive rights are being decimated, effective interventions targeting CUR, particularly when intoxicated, are needed in tandem with policies that affirm one’s ability to prevent and terminate pregnancy.

Watching the fall of Roe v. Wade: Media exposure relates to U.S. women’s alcohol use intentions.
Conclusions: This timely study provides evidence of how the Dobbs ruling is associated with health ramifications beyond reproduction, yielding insights about how high media exposure to large-scale, distressing events may put those most affected—women of reproductive age in states that enacted new policies restricting abortion access—at risk for alcohol use. Findings highlight an imperative direction for future research as abortion restrictions continue to be spotlighted in U.S. media and state legislatures.

Contact reduces substance use stigma through bad character attributions, especially for U.S. health care professionals.
Conclusions: Health care professionals and the general population may hold similar levels of stigma when accounting for attributions, and personal contact plays an important role. We discuss the implications of these results for stigma-reduction campaigns and emphasize deconstructing personal culpability narratives surrounding substance use disorders.

Social associations and alcohol consumption in an Australian community sample: An egocentric social network analysis.
Conclusions: Alcohol may serve to initiate social connections and be a “social glue” that reinforces relationships. These strong social associations present a potential barrier to individuals who wish to reduce their alcohol consumption because they have few close social connections who do not drink alcohol (or who do so infrequently), and their highly interconnected social networks make it difficult to socialize only with those who do not drink frequently.
