Sustained reduction of attentional bias to smoking cues by smartphone-delivered attentional bias modification training for smokers.
Conclusions: Thirteen days of smartphone-delivered ABM training, as an adjunct to smoking cessation treatment, reduced AB to both modality-specific and cross-modality smoking cues but did not impact smoking-related behavior. While ABM can reduce AB to smoking cues across modalities, it is unclear whether it has therapeutic potential as an adjunct to conventional smoking cessation therapy.

Decision strategies while intoxicated relate to alcohol-impaired driving attitudes and intentions.
Conclusions: Results suggest that risk for engaging in AID is higher for those using a cost-sensitive, compensatory strategy when making AID decisions under intoxication. Future research is needed to test whether AID countermeasures (e.g., subsidized ride services) are differentially effective according to decision strategy type.

Alcohol use and cannabis use trajectories and sexual/gender minority disparities in young adulthood.
Conclusions: At the same levels of A/C use from middle school through young adulthood, SGM individuals show disparities in multiple domains compared to non-SGM peers. Targeted efforts to reduce substance use in conjunction with other structural disadvantages experienced by SGM youths are needed to address the emergence of disparities in young adulthood.

Daily associations between affect, drinking motives, and drinking intensity among U.S. young adults.
Conclusions: These results suggest that heightened social, coping, and enhancement motives are risk factors for drinking in young adults. They also suggest that young adults perceive their mood to be better on drinking days, particularly when they were drinking to enhance positive affect. Results are consistent with a positive affect regulation model (i.e., drinking to increase positive affect), but not a negative affect regulation model (i.e., drinking to cope with negative affect).

Design, efficacy, and methodology considerations for brief interventions: Intervention delivery and incentives.
This research evaluated the effects of two methodological factors (i.e., delivery modality and incentives) on attrition, data quality, depth of processing, and perceived value of a personalized normative feedback (PNF) intervention targeting drinking reduction in college students. We expected in lab (vs. remote) participation would be associated with lower attrition, better data quality, and greater depth of processing and intervention value. We further expected that being offered an incentive (vs. not) would be associated with less attrition and better data quality, but lower depth of processing and intervention value. Fi...

Co-occurring alcohol and mental health problems in the military: Prevalence, disparities, and service utilization.
Conclusions: COPs are common enough that screening for and attention to their co-occurrence are needed in the military, and some subgroups of service members are at particularly high risk for COPs. Future research and policy should delve deeper into how the needs of service members with COPs can be addressed.

Application of the acquired preparedness model for alcohol and cigarette use among reserve-dwelling first nation adolescents.
Conclusions: Findings of the present study provide initial support for the generalizability of the APM in understanding risk for alcohol and cigarette use among reserve-dwelling First Nation youth. The next important step is to replicate this finding in a prospective sample. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: Psychology of Addictive Behaviors)

Daily drinking and social network interactions in network support treatment.
Conclusions: NS treatment was successful in helping patients change their social networks, as well as their responses to social influences, and those changes had effects on day-to-day drinking levels.

Counterproductive effects of overfamiliar antitobacco messages on smoking cessation intentions via message fatigue and resistance to persuasion.
Conclusions: Overfamiliar antitobacco message frames may activate greater message fatigue and resistance to persuasion, which may dampen campaign effects. The findings caution against the habitual use of conventional antitobacco messages. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: Psychology of Addictive Behaviors)

Thirty years of BASICS: Dissemination and implementation progress and challenges.
The first clinical trial of the Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) was launched at the University of Washington in 1990. Since that time, multiple trials have demonstrated the efficacy of BASICS and related approaches in a variety of young adult populations and this information has been widely disseminated. However, in practice BASICS implementation varies considerably, including formats and mediums (e.g., group, telehealth, written/electronic feedback alone) not studied in the original research. Even if delivered in an individual in-person format, implementation can stray substantially ...
