Addendum to "Evaluating substance use outcomes of recreational cannabis legalization using a unique co-twin control design"
We reported significant associations between RCL with greater cannabis frequency and fewer alcohol use disorder symptoms. The current study expands on our previous research by using a cross-sectional design and different measures of problems from cannabis and alcohol use and including additional substance use variables. The current study found similar results to our previous research.PMID:38014892 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2023.2252573 (Source: The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse)

Alcohol protective behavioral strategies for young adults: a content analysis across drinking contexts and gender
Conclusions: Young adults endorse utilizing additional PBS in varying frequency according to drinking context and gender. Given PBS are often a key component of alcohol harm reduction interventions, monitoring trends in young adult PBS use is crucial to ensure continued relevance and efficacy of such interventions to minimize harms associated with young adult heavy alcohol use.PMID:38011681 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2023.2272035 (Source: The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse)

Prevalence of increased alcohol use and alcohol use disorders in adult victims of terrorist attacks: a systematic and meta-analytic review
Conclusions: A relevant number of adults exposed to terrorist attacks will subsequently increase their alcohol consumption, but this increase is not associated with an increase in the prevalence of alcohol use disorders. Effects of terrorism on people's health are potentially widespread, but concerns of excessive alcohol use after terrorist attacks may be unwarranted.PMID:38011685 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2023.2275526 (Source: The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse)

Pivoting from in-person to phone survey assessment of alcohol and substance use: effects on representativeness in a United States prospective cohort of women living with and without HIV
Conclusions: Pivoting from an in-person to phone-administered alcohol and substance use survey may lead to underrepresentation of key subpopulations of women who are often neglected in substance use and HIV research. As remote survey methods become more common, investigators need to ensure that the study population is representative of the target population.PMID:37956200 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2023.2267745 (Source: The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse)

Investigating uses of peer-operated Virtual Overdose Monitoring Services (VOMS) beyond overdose response: a qualitative study
Conclusions: VOMS are currently being used for purposes beyond drug poisoning prevention, including community methamphetamine psychosis de-escalation, mental health support, and community peer support. VOMS are capable of delivering a broad suite of harm reduction services and referring clients to recovery-oriented services.PMID:37956211 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2023.2271642 (Source: The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse)
