Objective Characteristics and Subjective Responses of 18-24-Year-Olds to U.S. nationally Televised Tobacco Advertisements
Conclusions: Regulators need to update tobacco advertising restrictions to accurately reflect the current tobacco product landscape. This study contributes to the research on tobacco promotion strategies by examining the current marketing landscape for newer tobacco products and their appeal to youth. Findings from this study inform comprehensive tobacco marketing regulations, recommending the FDA update its guidelines and apply current marketing restrictions to e-cigarettes and oral nicotine products.PMID:38409656 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2024.2320394 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)

Social Anxiety and Cannabis-Related Problems: The Serial Roles of Distress Tolerance and Cannabis Use Motives
Conclusions: Findings suggest that individuals with elevated social anxiety may be vulnerable to using cannabis to manage negative affect (generally and social anxiety specifically) due to low perceived ability to tolerate psychological distress, which may lead to more cannabis problems. Keywords: cannabis; marijuana; distress tolerance; social anxiety; motives; coping motives.PMID:38403969 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2024.2320400 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)

Assessing the Prevalence of Cannabis Use Through a Survey About Criminal Activity Versus One About Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs
Conclusion: The current study did not find evidence that manipulating whether participants were told that the items asking about cannabis use came from a survey asking about criminal activity versus one about health had an impact on self-reported cannabis use. However, as prevalence estimates generated by the Crime Survey of England and Wales do appear to be an underestimate of actual levels of cannabis use in the United Kingdom, further research is merited on this topic.PMID:38403986 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2024.2320391 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)

Examining the Role of Cultural and Family Factors in Substance Use Risk Among Indian American Youth
CONCLUSIONS: Discrimination and bicultural identity integration emerged as key constructs related to substance use risk among Indian American youth. These youth could benefit from culturally appropriate prevention programming that addresses the negative impact of discrimination and its effect on permissive substance use beliefs and highlights protective factors.PMID:38403989 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2024.2320371 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)

What Motivates Betel Quid Chewers to Quit? An Analysis of Several Cessation-Relevant Variables
Conclusions: Understanding which factors are associated with chewers' motivation to quit can be helpful for designing BQ cessation programs. The results suggest that BQ cessation programs could be improved by an increased emphasis on information about the negative health effects of BQ chewing and relapse-prevention.PMID:38403997 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2024.2320388 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)

Babywearing Reduces Urges to Use Substances in the Postpartum Period Among Mothers With OUDs
CONCLUSIONS FOR PRACTICE: There is a critical window to capitalize on mothers' desire to abstain from substance use. Babywearing, and specifically babywearing at least 30 min a day, reduced urges to use substances post-partum, a factor associated with relapse.PMID:38404001 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2024.2321253 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)

Evaluation of an SMS Based Alcohol Intervention for Same Sex Attracted Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial to Examine Feasibility, Acceptability, and Efficacy
CONCLUSIONS: Our approach was consistent with best practice in the development of an ecologically valid intervention; however, this intervention, in its current form, lacks the complexity desired by its users to optimally facilitate alcohol reduction among SSAW.
