  • Emotional Psychopathology and Coping Cannabis Use Motives Are Involved in the Link Between Anxiety Sensitivity and Adverse Cannabis-Related Outcomes in Canadian Emerging Adults

    Open AccessHaley C R Bernusky, McKenzie Cline et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2026

    Background: Cannabis use and related problems are prevalent among Canadian emerging adults. Investigating risk factors for cannabis use and related problems, such as personality traits, is important for earlier risk mitigation in this vulnerable population. Anxiety sensitivity (AS) is associated with adverse cannabis outcomes in emerging adults, though the mechanisms driving this effect remain unclear. Theory linking AS to cannabis use and relate…

  • Putative risk and resilience factors for predicting mental health among Royal Canadian Mounted Police after the first year of service

    Juliana M B Khoury, Taylor A Teckchandani et al.ARTICLEPolice Practice and Research2026

    Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) cadets complete the Cadet Training Program with lower putative risk and greater self-perceived resilience than young adults in the general population, implicating occupational stressors as possible risk factors for mental health disorders in RCMP officers. The current study assessed for changes in putative risk and resilience factors among RCMP officers after their first year of service (i.e. from pre-deployme…

  • Mental health of Royal Canadian Mounted Police after the first year of service

    R Nicholas Carleton, Katie L Andrews et al.ARTICLEPolice Practice and Research2026

    Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) frequently report symptoms consistent with positive screens for one or more mental health disorders (65%), but RCMP cadets evidence a much lower prevalence (7.3%) prior to deployment. The differences in mental health between cadets and experienced RCMP implicates mental health challenges to be related to service experiences; however, less is known about how mental health changes during the first year of servic…

  • Prospective impacts of co-rumination on depression, anxiety, and relationship satisfaction within adult romantic couples

    Trillium Whitewolf, Simon B Sherry et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Clinical…2025

    Introduction: Co-rumination can significantly affect well-being yet remains understudied in adult romantic relationships. We aimed to examine how corumination in adult couples impacts two forms of emotional distress (anxiety and depression) and relationship satisfaction over a 15-20 week follow-up. We also investigated whether effects persisted when controlling important covariates (e.g., emotional stability) and explored gender differences. Meth…

  • Covid-19 Stress and Family Well-Being

    Open AccessAlzena Ilie, Andy J Kim et al.ARTICLEChildren2025

    Our findings underscore the interconnected nature of sleep and mental health, demonstrating that stress-related disruptions in sleep (particularly children's sleep) can exacerbate mental health difficulties for both parents and children during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic

  • Relationship Between Personality Traits and Emotional Impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Canadian Emerging Adults

    Open AccessMackenzie Moore, Fakir Md Yunus et al.ARTICLEEmerging Adulthood2025

    We assessed whether traits from the four-factor vulnerability model for substance misuse are associated with the content of emotional descriptions given by Canadian university students of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their lives. Personality traits were measured in 1185 first- and second-year undergraduates (mean age = 19.11 years; 79% female). Written responses to "Tell us about how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting your life" were co…

  • Psychometric validation of the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) in adults with substance use disorders

    Brian M Bird, Mary Jean Costello et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2025

    Collectively, this study adds to growing evidence in support of a seven-factor model and validates the use of the PCL-5 in adult SUD treatment populations. Limitations of some of the alternative structures and priorities for future research on the overlap of PTSD and SUD are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)

  • Anxiety sensitivity and posttraumatic stress symptoms among public safety personnel

    Janine V Olthuis, Emma M Connell et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2025

    Findings may be due to strong autoregressive associations (e.g., baseline PTSS predicting future PTSS) or may indicate that the association between AS and PTSS is more difficult to disentangle in populations that have already experienced multiple traumatic events. Future research should investigate this association among PSP who have yet to be exposed to potentially traumatic events to further elucidate whether AS is a risk factor worth intervent…

  • Access to healthcare among managed alcohol program participants

    Open AccessAlexa Davis, Bernie Pauly et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Drug…2025

    Managed alcohol programs (MAPs) offer safe and regulated doses of alcohol to individuals with high-risk drinking behaviours unresponsive to other treatments. These harm reduction programs aim to reduce alcohol-related harms and increase access to housing, health, and social services. In our study we aimed to understand the impacts of MAP participation on access to healthcare. Using a mixed methods design, we analyzed data collected in six Canadia…

  • When love hurts

    Andy J Kim, Simon B Sherry et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Clinical…2024

    Introduction: In this study we investigated the stress generation hypothesis in romantic relationships, testing how individuals’ depressive symptoms can lead to interpersonal stress that worsens their depressive symptoms. Interpersonal stress was operationalized as conflict enactment (critical, hostile, and rejecting behaviors toward one's romantic partner) and breakup rumination (persistent and intense thoughts of ending the relationship). Metho…

  • Long-Term Mandatory Homeschooling during Covid-19 Had Compounding Mental Health Effects on Parents and Children

    Open AccessLucretia V M Groff, Mariam M Elgendi et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

  • Trouble with the curve

    Open AccessTaylor A Teckchandani, Robyn E Shields et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    The creation of highly individualized, population-based mental health injury programs has been limited by an incomplete understanding of the causal relationships between protective factors and mental health. Disproportionate rates of disengagement from persons who screen positive for mental health disorders further compounds the difficulty in understanding the relationships between training programs and mental health. The current results suggest …
