Accuracy of self-reported gambling frequency and outcomes: Comparisons with account data.
Conclusions: The poor recall accuracy we observed suggests public health approaches to gambling harm minimization that assume people make informed decisions about their future bets based on past outcomes and available funds should be reconsidered. Findings also question the reliability of research outcomes predicated on self-reported gambling behavior. Research is needed to determine the best methods of increasing people’s awareness of their actual expenditure and outcomes.

Effects of stress, alcohol prime dose, and sex on ad libitum drinking.
Conclusions: The hypothesized interaction between an alcohol priming dose and social stress was only evident among men, whereas women drank more under social stress in the absence of a priming dose. Findings suggest the importance of exploring sex differences in future studies of the SMH. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: Psychology of Addictive Behaviors)

Fluctuation in the sense of belongingness during college moderates within-person associations between perceived injunctive norms and subsequent drinking.
Conclusions: Perceiving others as more approving of drinking corresponds to increased drinking only when personal levels of belongingness are at or below average. Elevated feelings of belongingness may buffer social influences on drinking. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: Psychology of Addictive Behaviors)

Changes in alcohol use during COVID-19 and associations with contextual and individual difference variables: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusions: The identified factors associated with increased alcohol consumption should be considered in planning behavioral health services during future crisis events that abruptly alter everyday environments in ways that increase stress and decrease access to naturally occurring rewards.

Big Five personality traits and illicit drug use: Specificity in trait–drug associations.
Conclusions: Trait associations common across drugs may be primarily attributable to familial effects. There appears to be more drug-specific influence of personality on use with respect to potentially causal within-pair effects.

A combined laboratory and field test of a smartphone breath alcohol device and blood alcohol concentration estimator to facilitate moderate drinking among young adults.
Conclusions: These findings support the feasibility of research combining lab and field methods to test moderate drinking technologies in young adults. Findings further support the acceptability and usability of these technologies, along with young adults’ openness to using them. Exploratory results suggest potential efficacy of combined mobile technology intervention to be tested in subsequent controlled studies.

Examining daily associations between mental health symptoms and simultaneous alcohol and marijuana use and consequences among young adults.
Conclusions: The association between daily mental health symptoms and SAM use depended on whether the young adults had coping motives for use. Daily fluctuations in mental health were associated with negative use-related consequences experienced on SAM use days regardless of motives. These findings highlight the potential importance of prevention and intervention strategies particularly on days when young adults are experiencing increased mental health symptoms.

Simultaneous use of alcohol and cigarettes in a mixed psychiatric sample: Daily-life associations with smoking motives, craving, stimulation, sedation, and affect.
Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, Vol 36(8), Dec 2022, 942-954; doi:10.1037/adb0000790Co-use of alcohol and cigarettes is common and associated with greater negative consequences compared to use of either substance alone. Furthermore, alcohol and cigarettes are often used at the same time, and these “simultaneous” use events are associated with greater consumption of each substance. Given the prevalence and negative consequences associated with this pattern, we sought to identify proximal predictors and reinforcers of simultaneous use in individuals with a range of emotional and behavioral dysregulation who may be at ...
