Non-adherence to registration further undermines the methodologically weak Stanford University Magnesium-Ibogaine Study
Prevalence of Registered Reports in experimental psychology journals
Registered Reports were introduced a decade ago to reduce data dredging and the selective reporting of “statistically significant” results in journal articles. Previous studies have examined the extent to which journals have adopted the procedure and the number of such articles published in these journals. This bibliometric study focuses on the subdiscipline that has most thoroughly adopted the procedure, experimental psychology, and compiles a m…
Registration and multiple outcome testing in the Healing communities study
Covid-19 publications in top-ranked public health journals during the first phase of the pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a surge of academic publications in medical journals in early 2020. A concern has been that the methodological quality of this research is poor, due to the large volume of publications submitted to journals and the rapidity of peer review. The aim of the present study was to examine the COVID-19 papers that appeared in 15 top-ranked generalist public health journals in 2020. The COVID-19 related publications contribut…

Mapping the Spread of Methamphetamine Abuse in California From 1995 to 2008
Objectives. From 1983 to 2008, the incidence of methamphetamine abuse and dependence (MA) presenting at hospitals in California increased 13-fold. We assessed whether this growth could be characterized as a drug epidemic. Methods. We geocoded MA discharges to residential zip codes from 1995 through 2008. We related discharges to population and environmental characteristics using Bayesian Poisson conditional autoregressive models, correcting for s…
Does the Life Skills Training program reduce use of marijuana
The Life Skills Training (LST) program is one of the most widely disseminated drug prevention programs developed during the past 30 years. It is estimated that 50,000 teachers and 3 million students in the USA have participated in the program since 1995, and the program has been used in more than 30 other countries worldwide. This article reviews the evaluation studies that have assessed the effects of the LST program on the use of marijuana. Eva…

Do medical cannabis laws encourage cannabis use
Mezic Et Al. Respond
We would like to thank Jones for replicating our modeling efforts and identifying the typographical error (not mathematical error) in the equation presented in the text of Figure 1 (where “=” is replaced by “+”).1 We are glad to see that his replication of the basic model and agent rules lead to the same conclusions drawn in our article. We also are pleased to have the opportunity to clarify some important points about the relevance of this model…
Changing Service Systems for High-Risk Youth Using State-Level Strategies
ALTHOUGH FRANKFORD HAS identified important problems in prevention and positive youth development, there are at least 2 concerns about the type of positive youth development framework proposed. First, a broad analysis of youth development provides only a starting point for understanding the etiology and course of adolescent problem behaviors and the development of effective interventions. Second, a focus on positive youth development may not prov…
Agent-Based Modeling of Drinking Behavior
Objectives. We developed a preliminary agent-based simulation model designed to examine agent–environment interactions that support the development and maintenance of drinking behavior at the population level. Methods. The model was defined on a 1-dimensional lattice along which agents might move left or right in single steps at each iteration. Agents could exchange information about their drinking with each other. In the second generation of the…
The “science” of drug and alcohol prevention
Spatial dynamics of alcohol availability, neighborhood structure and violent crime.
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the relationship between neighborhood social structure, alcohol outlet densities and violent crime in Camden, New Jersey. METHOD: Data pertaining to neighborhood social structure, violent crime and alcohol density were collected for 98 block groups, and analyzed using bivariate, multivariate and spatial analyses. RESULTS: Each type of analysis showed that those areas with high alcohol outlet densities experienced mo…
Risk of assaultive violence and alcohol availability in New Jersey
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the relationship between rate of assaultive violence and density of alcohol outlets in New Jersey. METHODS: Data pertaining to assaultive violence, alcohol outlet density, and sociodemographic factors were obtained from municipalities in New Jersey (n = 223) and assessed through bivariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: Sociodemographic factors accounted for 70% (R(2)=.70) of the variance in the rate of assault…

Alcohol Consumption By Patients Attending Outpatient Clinics
Three hundred and twenty nine (329) patients aged between 18 and 60 years atten ding the diabetic, hypertension and fracture clinics were studied with regard to their alcohol consumption. The findings confirm the general view that a considerable number of patients atten ding the general medical services may be considered as problem drinkers, a factor which may contribute to their overall medical complaint
