A self-determination theory perspective of motivations for cannabis-related harm reduction behaviours
OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate an expanded and adapted version of the Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire (TSRQ) to assess the internalization continuum of motivation per self-determination theory (SDT) for responsible cannabis use and cannabis protective behavioural strategies (PBS). METHODS AND MEASURES: We recruited 1,196 college students (Study 1) and 1,409 adults (Study 2) who reported past-month cannabis to complete online surveys; a …

Breaking barriers
The opioid epidemic continues to claim lives at alarming rates, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities, with structural barriers preventing equitable access to lifesaving interventions such as naloxone. Harm reduction vending machines (HRVMs) offer a promising solution to this issue, providing low-barrier access to naloxone and other harm reduction supplies. This study examines the impact of different HRVM access models on product …
A Psychometric Evaluation of the Reasons for Limiting Heavy Drinking Scale in a National Sample of College Students
Background: Understanding college students’ reasons for limiting heavy drinking can inform and enhance harm reduction initiatives. Objectives: This study provided further psychometric evaluation of the Reasons for Limiting Heavy Drinking (RFLHD) scale, including model fit, construct validity, and test–retest reliability, among two national samples of college students across the United States. Study 1 consisted of 537 college students (Mage = 19.4…
Resilience Protective Factors Checklist – Second Edition (RPFC-2)
The Resilience Protective Factors Checklist (RPFC) is a strengths-based oriented clinical questionnaire that assists in the identification of protective factors that have been empirically linked to resilience and positive outcomes. This study utilized a Confirmatory Factor Analysis to assist in the identification of additional protective factors linked to resilience, which informed the creation of the Resilience Protective Factors Checklist - Sec…

Personality and social determinants of health predict adolescent comfort and honesty reporting sports-related concussion symptoms
Proper diagnosis is essential in mitigating risk associated with sports-related concussion (SRC); however, 50% of SRCs remain undiagnosed due to unreported symptoms. The current study aimed to identify the most clinically-relevant, attainable personality and social determinants of health variables that are associated with honesty and comfortability reporting symptoms in 317 adolescents ( M age = 17.8, SD = 0.97, female = 55.0%, white racial ident…
Alcohol First, Cannabis Last
Background: Alcohol and cannabis co-use is common and confers increased risk for potential harms, such as negative consequences and substance dependence. The existing evidence suggests that factors such as dose of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) consumed and order of use of each substance (i.e., using alcohol or cannabis first or last when co-using) may impact co-use outcomes. Existing co-use research has focused primarily on college-samples o…

An automated algorithm for classifying expansive responses for gender identity
Current two-step measures of gender identity do not prescribe methods for using expanded responses ( e.g., multiple selections) among sexual and gender minority (SGM) people, though they want the opportunity to provide these responses. To increase statistical power using expanded gender identity responses, we created an automated algorithm to generate analyzable categories. Participants' expanded gender identity responses and sex assigned at birt…

Indirect associations between impulsivity and alcohol outcomes through motives for drinking responsibly among U.S. college students
The aim of the present study was to conduct a preliminary investigation of the associations between facets of impulsivity and alcohol outcomes through motives for drinking responsibly described by self-determination theory among college students. Participants (N=2,808) were part of a multisite investigation of college student drinking across 10 universities in 8 states in the U.S. who reported past-month drinking. Results of a structural equation…
Re-Operationalizing Sensation Seeking Through the Development of the Sensation Seeking Personality Trait Scale
The measurement of sensation seeking has been mired in controversy since Zukerman defined it. The sensation seeking personality trait (SSPT) eliminates many of the psychometric issues found in previous scales and may allow researchers to better understand the role of sensation seeking in the engagement in health risk behaviors

Measuring the Gap
The dual systems theory of health risk behaviors posits that maladaptive behaviors during late adolescence and early adulthood are the result of differential developmental trajectories of a cognitive control system and socioemotional system. The divergence or “gap” between these two systems was modeled as two Latent Gap Scores (LGS) in a sample of college undergraduates (N = 7,109) and associations with health risk behavior were tested. Robust as…
Moderated Mediation of the Echeckup to Go College Student Cannabis Use Intervention
Background: Cannabis use rates are rising among college students, creating a need for effective and accessible intervention options. One such intervention, the Marijuana eCHECKUP TO GO (eCTG) program, has relatively few studies investigating mechanisms of change and related outcomes. This intervention provides users with personalized normative feedback to adjust user’s normative perceptions and use patterns. The current study tested moderated med…
Applying a Health-Risk Behavior Lens to Understand Individual Differences in Covid-19 Containment Behavior Among Young Adults
COVID-19 containment behaviors (CCBs) remain important methods for reducing contagion. Theoretical frameworks to understand engagement in health-risk behaviors among young people may help identify individuals with elevated risk for non-adherence to CCBs. We aimed to elucidate individual differences in CCBs by evaluating if CCBs fit into an established health-risk behavior framework. Using a cross-sectional sample of 1374 young adults, we examined…
Personality Disorders, Risky Behaviors, and Adversity
Individuals with personality disorders (PDs) comprise 30% to 40% of individuals receiving mental health treatment. Treatment of PDs is exceedingly difficult; therefore, research has focused on PD etiology and preventative factors. One known influence on PD etiology is adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). ACEs are associated with increased prevalence of several health risk behaviors (HRBs), including engagement in substance use, criminal, and ris…
Resilience Protective Factors Checklist (RPFC)
While research tends to focus on understanding risk factors associated with adverse childhood and adolescent experiences, there is growing empirical support within the field of human services to also focus on strengths and protective factors that bolster resilience in life. This study investigated the psychometrics of the Resilience Protective Factors Checklist (RPFC), which is a questionnaire that assists in the identification of protective fact…
Associations between marijuana use patterns and recreational legislation changes in a large Colorado college student sample
Background: Many states in the U.S. have changed how they regulated medicinal and/or recreational marijuana. Understanding the impact of these policy changes on marijuana use and perceptions of acceptability and safety of use is needed. The current study examined perceptions and patterns of marijuana use among college students, a population at increased risk for initiation and heavy use.Method: Data include Colorado university students and nation…

Reefer madness or much ado about nothing? Cannabis legalization outcomes among young adults in the United States
A burning problem
With recent increases in cannabis' popularity, including being legalized in several states, new issues have emerged related to use. Increases in the number of users, new products, and home growing all present distinct concerns. In the present review, we explored various cannabis-related concerns (i.e. use, acquiring, growing, and public health/policy) that have arisen in Colorado in order to provide information on emerging issues and future direc…

Treating Opioid Use Under California's Proposition 36
In California, Proposition 36 (Prop. 36) has led to positive outcomes for a significant proportion of participants-increases in drug treatment completion, reduced drug use and recidivism, and increased employment. However, there are notable differences in outcomes among Prop. 36 subgroups, with some of the poorest outcomes observed among opioid users. This may be because very few Prop. 36 opioid users were placed in narcotic treatment programs (N…
