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.

Dispositional and contextual correlates of in-play sports betting and related harms: A 2-week ecological momentary assessment study.
Conclusions: Responsible gambling initiatives targeting contextual risk factors, such as using alcohol and cannabis while in-play betting, may help to reduce the intensity of in-play betting and its associated harms.

Is it time for a cannabis harm reduction approach? Commentary on Sherman et al. (2022) and Borodovsky et al. (2022).
Conclusions: Research and treatment for CUD has historically focused on cannabis abstinence. Treatment trials rarely yield durable abstinence rates, and reduction has recently been tied to functional improvement. We comment on Sherman et al. (2022) and Borodovsky et al. (2022) and propose a shift toward a cannabis harm reduction approach. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: Psychology of Addictive Behaviors)

Unpacking disparities in substance-related outcomes among racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender minoritized groups during adolescence and emerging adulthood.
Conclusions: To inform prevention programming and policy for improving health and well-being of historically marginalized populations, it is important to continue our efforts to understand disparities in AOD-related outcomes using multidisciplinary, equity, and intersectionality lenses.

Emotion differentiation and intimate partner violence: Effects of provocation and alcohol intoxication.
Conclusions: Consistent with hypotheses, low ED is associated with greater IPV perpetration among intoxicated individuals. In contrast to prior research, low ED was associated with less IPV perpetration among sober individuals. Alcohol-related cognitive impairments may increase the likelihood of IPV perpetration by disrupting the ED process that may otherwise inhibit impulsive aggression.
