A cross-national comparison of nonmedical and medical use of psychedelic drugs in the international cannabis policy study
BACKGROUND: We know little about the extent psychedelic substances are consumed therapeutically and/or discussed with medical professionals despite renewed global interest in these substances. METHODS: We examined self-reported responses from the 2023 International Cannabis Policy Study (ICPS) in repeated cross-sectional surveys in Canada, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. The survey included questions on lifetime, past year, and pas…
Las ‘Guías para el Uso de Cannabis de Menor Riesgo (GUCMR)’
Exploring THC labelling preferences to communicate the strength of cannabis products
These exploratory findings preliminarily support the potential value of standardized THC dose labelling, particularly in the form of a standardized metric such as the Standard THC Unit, as a tool to better inform consumer decision-making and promote safer patterns of use. The findings require replication in more representative samples using additional THC metrics, including but not limited to, THC milligrams as a response option

How should nicotine vaping be regulated in Australia
In Australia, nicotine vaping products are regulated as prescription‐only medicines which can only be sold from a pharmacy, with the aim of preventing youth access and allowing use by adult smokers with a doctor's support. The Therapeutic Goods Administration has acknowledged that this policy has not achieved its goals. Instead, a thriving black market has developed which sells unregulated vape products to children and adults. Very few adult vape…

Fear of the dark
This study investigates the impact of the perceptions of antisocial behaviour on the use of the social media platform Twitter. We extend the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) with the Perception of Antisocial Behaviour as a risk factor, and two supporting constructs: Strategic Self-Presentation and Protective Self-Presentation. We call this extended model Technology Acceptance and Use under Risk (TAUR). We investigate two…
Minimizing policy-biased appraisals of the evidence on cannabis and psychosis
Appraisals of the evidence on the relationship between cannabis use and psychosis are often biased by appraisers' pre-existing views on whether adult cannabis use should or should not be legal. This viewpoint gives examples of such policy-biased appraisals and suggests strategies for avoiding them

Maximizing Theoretical Contributions of Participant Observation While Managing Challenges
Participant observation (PO) is an important method of data collection used in a variety of research methodologies. PO can inform theory development by providing understanding of participants' behaviors and the contexts that influence their behaviors. Because theory development is important in grounded theory studies, we emphasize theoretical contributions of PO while interrogating the challenges of using PO, in particular, attending to informed …
Analysis of socio-political and health practices influencing sex ratio at birth in Viet Nam
Viet Nam has experienced rapid social change over the last decade, with a remarkable decline in fertility to just below replacement level. The combination of fertility decline, son preference, antenatal sex determination using ultrasound and sex selective abortion are key factors driving increased sex ratios at birth in favour of boys in some Asian countries. Whether or not this is taking place in Viet Nam as well is the subject of heightened deb…
Harm Minimization in a Prohibition Context—australia
Australia ranks high internationally in the prevalence of cannabis and other illicit drug use, with the prevalence of all illicit drug use increasing since the 1970s. There are two distinctive features associated with harms from injecting drug use-high rates of death from heroin overdose and low rates of HIV infection. Australia has largely avoided a punitive and moralistic drug policy, developing instead harm minimization strategies and a robust…

How Did Youth Mental Health Make It Onto Australia's 2011 Federal Policy Agenda
The 2011 Australian federal budget included a large investment in youth mental health and early intervention services. In this article, we focus on the critical role of agenda setting in the preceding 4 years to examine how and why these services were given such a high priority at this time. We undertook a systematic review of relevant literature, including parliamentary Hansard transcripts from the House of Representatives and Senate, the final …
Media and evidence-informed policy development
This article draws together theory from political science, media, and science and technology studies to examine the past, present and possible future roles of ‘media’ in influencing evidence-informed policy-making in mental health in Australia. The authors develop a nuanced understanding of the role that media framing, focussing events and participation have played in the evolution of mental health policy. Media are shown to influence evidence ut…

Assessing the Quality of Data for Analysing the Sex Ratio at Birth in Viet Nam
Despite widespread concern about high sex ratio at birth (SRB) in Viet Nam, little attention has been given to the quality of the data sources on which SRB estimates are based. This paper reviews the key data sources available for SRB analysis in Viet Nam. A standard assessment framework is developed and used to assess the quality of three national-scale datasets from a population change survey, the health information system and the vital registr…

Evolution of the primate visual system
A partial answer to the question of the precocious development of the temporal lobe in fossil lemurs is offered by the presentation of evidence that in the tree shrew, in prosimians, and probably in all primates the temporal lobe contains primary visual cortex. The visual pathway to the temporal lobe is achieved by relays through the superficial layers of the superior colliculus and pulvinar nucleus. This pathway parallels the geniculo‐striate sy…

Development of a short ‘readiness to change’ questionnaire for use in brief, opportunistic interventions among excessive drinkers
Excessive drinkers (141) identified in medical settings who were not seeking help for an alcohol problem completed a questionnaire based on Prochaska and DiClemente's stages of change model. Principal components analysis revealed a clear factor structure corresponding to the ‘precontemplation’, ‘contemplation’ and ‘action’ stages of change. On this basis, a 12‐item ‘Readiness to change’ questionnaire was developed with satisfactory psychometric p…
The Health and Psychological Effects of Cannabis Use
This is an updated version of a review of the health and psychological effects of cannabis use that was commissioned in May 1992 by the Australian National Task Force on Cannabis. The earlier review (Hall, Solowij and Lemon, 1994) has been updated in the light of recent research and the reviews of the literature (WHO, 1997; US Institute of Medicine, 1998). The section of chapter 5 dealing with cannabis and cancer has been published as an editoria…
The Audit questionnaire
The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) is a 10-item questionnaire designed by the World Health Organization to screen for hazardous alcohol intake in primary health care settings. In this longitudinal study we examine its performance in predicting alcohol-related harm over the full range of its scores using receiver operating characteristic analyses. Three hundred and thirty ambulatory care patients were interviewed using a detaile…
The Severity of Dependence Scale (SDS)
The Severity of Dependence Scale (SDS) was devised to provide a short, easily administered scale which can be used to measure the degree of dependence experienced by users of different types of drugs. The SDS contains five items, all of which are explicitly concerned with psychological components of dependence. These items are specifically concerned with impaired control over drug taking and with preoccupation and anxieties about drug use. The SD…
Injecting and sexual risk-taking behaviour among regular amphetamine users
A sample of 301 regular amphetamine users were interviewed regarding injecting and sexual risk-taking behaviours. Two-thirds of subjects were injecting the drug, with males being 1.8 times more likely to do so. Nearly half (41%) of injectors had shared injecting equipment in the preceding month. Females were twice as likely as males to report recent needle sharing. Having a regular sexual partner who injects amphetamines, using benzodiazepines an…
Rethinking Hypermedia
Rethinking Hypermedia: The Microcosm Approach is essentially the story of the Microcosm hypermedia research and development project that started in the late 1980's and from which has emerged a philosophy that re-examines the whole concept of hypermedia and its role in the evolution of multimedia information systems. The book presents the complete story of Microcosm to date. It sets the development of Microcosm in the context of the history of the…
