“Testing Affect Regulation Models of Drinking Prior to and After Drinking Initiation Using Ecological Momentary Assessment”: Correction.
Conclusions: PA increased following drinking during episodes. Our results suggest that a focus on PA prior to episodes and a focus on NA during episodes may interrupt processes leading to heavy drinking, and may therefore aid prevention efforts.

Why open access to vocational services in substance use treatment matters: Commentary on Cosottile and Defulio (2020).
Conclusions: Work activity is not simply a means or incentive for achieving sobriety. Employment is a critical component of recovery that supports a healthy sober lifestyle. Vocational services can be successfully integrated into substance use treatment without restricting access to those who have demonstrated sobriety.

Longitudinal associations between impulsivity and alcohol and cannabis use frequency, quantity, and problems among military veterans.
Conclusions: Results provide preliminary support that impulsivity may play a unique role in understanding alcohol- and cannabis-related problems over time among veterans. Further, results suggest that specific impulsivity facets are prospectively associated with cannabis problems (i.e., lack of perseverance and sensation seeking) and alcohol problems (i.e., negative urgency). Findings reinforce the importance of differentially evaluating impulsivity-substance use associations within contextually distinct populations (e.g., adolescent, veteran), and highlight potentially meaningful intervention targets among veterans.

An experimental investigation into the effect of negative affect on the behavioral economic demand for alcohol.
Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, Vol 38(1), Feb 2024, 1-7; doi:10.1037/adb0000823Influential theoretical models hypothesize that alcohol use is an especially potent reinforcer when used as a strategy to cope with negative affect. Although the evidence for this idea in observational data is weak, some experimental evidence suggests that the behavioral economic demand for alcohol increases immediately following a negative emotional event. Because existing studies testing the effect of negative mood inductions on the demand for alcohol have several methodological limitations and do not take inter- and intraindividual variab...

The rise and fall of substance use during treatment: Applying recency and expectancy principles to daily substance use patterns.
Conclusions: Substance use patterns during treatment were consistent with recency and expectancy neurocognitive principles. Substance use decreased on days closer to a therapy session, suggesting that treatment mechanisms were more salient on those days. More frequent therapeutic contact and targeted timing of treatment delivery may enhance treatment efficacy.

Central stress response among deprived and continuing marijuana users and nonusers.
Conclusions: A history of marijuana use or acute deprivation did not alter central stress responses despite prominent theoretical expectations. This study adds to growing research on central stress responses in individuals with a history of drug use and begins to parse moderating roles of individual differences and stressor characteristics.

Changes in emerging adults’ alcohol and cannabis use from before to during the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence from a prospective birth cohort.
Conclusions: Changes in alcohol and cannabis use frequency among emerging adults in the first 3 months of COVID-19 largely differed according to prepandemic substance use, COVID-19-related factors, and preexisting factors. While some youth with preexisting vulnerabilities (e.g., more frequent substance use prepandemic) remained stable or decreased their substance use during COVID-19, emerging adults who experienced employment loss, loneliness, and financial concerns during COVID-19 increased their substance use, highlighting the need for increased supports for vulnerable populations.

A scoping review of brief alcohol interventions across young adult subpopulations.
Conclusions: Findings signify a need for additional research evaluating BAIs among young adult subpopulations and highlight the importance of carefully defining and reporting participant characteristics. Increased attention to sociocultural considerations and strengths relevant to the diverse contexts and intersecting identities of young adults may strengthen extant BAIs and equitably mitigate alcohol-related harm.

Sensation seeking and alcohol expectancies regarding sexual aggression as moderators of the relationship between alcohol use and coercive condom use resistance intentions.
Conclusions: Both alcohol expectancies and myopia play a key role in coercive CUR intentions, especially among sensation seeking individuals. Thus, intervention programs should evaluate men’s alcohol use, alcohol expectancies, and sensation seeking behaviors as possible targets to reduce the perpetration of coercive CUR.

Neurofunctional alterations of cognitive down-regulation of craving in quitting motivated smokers.
Conclusions: Results neither indicate evidence for the expected general alterations in down-regulation of craving in TUD, compared to NS, nor specific alterations between drug-related and alternative reward cues on a neurofunctional level.

Sex differences in young children’s perceptions of situational drinking norms over time.
Conclusions: We identified no significant sex differences in the development of situational drinking norms over time, suggesting that education and prevention campaigns can be unified/nontargeted by sex. However, given our findings differ from previous studies that identify significant sex differences between children on the development of other alcohol-related cognitions beyond situational drinking norms, there is a need for more international research in this space to understand the importance and nature of the development of alcohol-related perceptions over time.
