Making sense of some odd ratios: A tutorial and improvements to present practices in reporting and visualizing quantities of interest for binary and count outcome models.
Conclusions: By improving present practices in the reporting of predictor-outcome relations in GLMs, we hope to maximize the amount of actionable information generated by statistical analyses and provide a tool for building a cumulative science of substance use disorders.

An experimental investigation of peer rejection and social anxiety on alcohol and cannabis use willingness: Accounting for social contexts and use cues in the laboratory.
Conclusions: Results suggest that elevated SA increases cannabis use willingness across social contexts, regardless of Rejection exposure, while Rejection exposure increases use willingness similarly across levels of SA. Together, findings reinforce the need to consider social-contextual factors and polysubstance use in laboratory settings.

Simultaneous trajectories of alcohol and cannabis use from adolescence to emerging adulthood: Associations with role transitions and functional outcomes.
This study identifies alcohol and cannabis (AC) trajectory classes, and examines class differences on adult role transitions and functioning during emerging adulthood. Participants (n = 3,265) completed six annual surveys (ages 16 to 22) on frequency of past month alcohol and cannabis use. Parallel process growth mixture models (PP-GMM) were used to model simultaneous trajectories of use and identify latent trajectory classes based on AC co-use. Trajectory classes were compared on age 23 outcomes. Analyses identified four trajectory classes of co-use: Initial AC Abstainer with Increasing AC Use (85%); Initial Low AC Use wi...

Prevalence and correlates of daily blunt use among U.S. African American, Hispanic, and White adults from 2014 to 2018.
This study examines correlates of self-reported daily blunt use among a nationally representative sample of adult blunt users in the United States. Method: We pooled and analyzed 5 years of cross-sectional data from n = 10,826 adult blunt smokers in the United States using the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2014–2018). Multiple logistic regression analysis examined correlates of daily blunt use among non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic African American, and Hispanic/Latino adult blunt users in the United States. Next, multiple logistic regression analyses stratified by race/ethnicity were conducted. This study exam...

The role of reward and reinforcement in understanding alcohol use among adults living with HIV in South Africa.
Conclusion: Greater alcohol-specific reward and less behavioral activation were associated with more frequent and unhealthy alcohol use in this setting, but not environmental reward. Findings highlight how different reinforcement types potentially influence alcohol use in a low-resource global setting.

Pooled and person-specific machine learning models for predicting future alcohol consumption, craving, and wanting to drink: A demonstration of parallel utility.
Conclusion: Using a person-specific constellation of psychosocial and temporal variables, it may be possible to accurately predict drinking behavior, affect, and cognitions before they occur. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: Psychology of Addictive Behaviors)

Craving, stimulation, and sedation as predictors of alcohol demand under intoxication.
Conclusions: Results indicate that within-person craving and stimulation during intoxication are independently associated with changes in alcohol’s reinforcing value. Findings suggest the potential for state-dependent alcohol demand to serve as an additional motivational index of processes underlying ongoing drinking behavior.

Dropout from face-to-face, multi-session psychological treatments for problem and disordered gambling: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusions: A large proportion of individuals drop out of treatment for problem gambling and gambling disorder. Future research should examine the reasons for dropout across marital statuses and should adopt dropout definitions that consider session-by-session symptom change.

Drinking less on cannabis use days: The moderating role of UPPS-P impulsive personality traits.
Conclusion: Findings are consistent with a substitution/compensatory effect for individuals at mean and low levels of both UPPS-P facets, and may be a byproduct of frequent cannabis use in veterans. In contrast, findings suggest that co-use and alcohol-only days may be characterized by similarly high levels of drinking for highly impulsive individuals.

Unplanned versus planned simultaneous alcohol and marijuana use in relation to substance use and consequences: Results from a longitudinal daily study.
Conclusions: Current findings suggest that interventions should target days on which young adults are planning to engage in SAM use. Future work is needed to identify factors that predict planned SAM use on specific occasions and also to disentangle the potential role of unplanned heavy use.
