    Open AccessC Monico, David F Duncan et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020Citada por: 2Referencias: 11

    Childhood narratives are essential to identifying critical issues in their development and developing strategies to reduce risk and build resilience. Ambiguous loss, a psychological risk factor, has emerged as a critical issue among families with uncertain immigration statuses including the recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA). This population encounters barriers to accessing mental health resources and educatio…

  • Macroeconomics and Drug Use

    Open AccessThomas Nicholson, David F Duncan et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2016

    Despite more than a century of drug prohibition, problems of addiction and drug abuse continue to be major global public health and criminal justice concerns (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2015). It has long been obvious that many of these problems are entwined with other economic and social issues. The editors of The Economist, in reporting evidence of a decline in drug use in the UK, speculated on the impact of the concurrent econom…

  • A Brief History of Prohibition and Treatment Solutions for Substance Abusers

    Open AccessDavid F Duncan, Thomas Nicholson et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2014Referencias: 7

    The predominant policy of prohibition (i.e. “War on Drugs”) emerged in the early Twentieth Century. It has been expanded on since that time to become the primary thrust of drug policy in almost every nation today. We will examine how this came about and the ways in which it has contributed to the maltreatment of substance abuse disorders

In this sample of 704 U.S. citizens who reported using illicit drugs, 79 (11.2%) reported having a drug-related felony convi…

  • Parents Who Report Using Illicit Drugs

    Thomas Nicholson, John B White et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2001

    In recent years, a national discussion has emerged concerning what parents should tell their children about their own past drug use. DRUGNET is an ongoing, on-line survey of successful, healthy, adults who occasionally use illicit drugs. This paper reviews data from a subset of this survey, namely, those respondents who were parents with self-reported use of at least one illicit drug. The sample (n = 325) was predominantly white men who reported …

  • Homosexual Parents and Questions of Character

    David F DuncanARTICLEPsychological Reports1999

    Cameron and Cameron introduced appellate court decisions as a new data source for content analyses. In using this source they have shown praiseworthy clarity in describing their methods. Their report, however, appears to show an over-weaning bias against homosexuals which is the fatal flaw of this study

  • Stressful Life Events and Loss of Hair among Adult Women, a Case-Control Study

    Open AccessJanine York, Thomas Nicholson et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1998

    A case-control design was used to compare stress (as measured with the Social Readjustment Rating Scale) in the lives of 25 women who had experienced recent, unexplained hair loss with that of 25 women with no hair loss. High stress was reported by 22 of the women experiencing hair loss and 10 not experiencing hair loss. An odds ratio of 11 suggests that women who experience high stress are 11 times more likely to experience hair loss. Replicatio…

  • Chronic Drinking, Binge Drinking and Drunk Driving

    Open AccessDavid F DuncanARTICLEPsychological Reports1997

    Data from the Brief Risk Factor Surveillance System on 47 states were examined in an ecological analysis of the relationship between rates of binge drinking, chronic drinking, and driving while intoxicated (DWI). DWI rates were significantly associated with rates of binge drinking but not with chronic heavy drinking. This finding has implications for the nature and targets of efforts toward prevention
