Obsessive Passion for Cannabis Use is Associated with Cannabis Outcomes Among Sexual Minority College Students
Background: We examined whether obsessive passion (OP) for cannabis use (e.g., cannabis use is enmeshed with identity and conflicts with values and other life priorities) predicts future cannabis use, use-related consequences, refusal self-efficacy, and satisfaction with life among sexual minority (SM) college students. Objectives: Data were drawn from a prospective cohort study of 513 undergraduates at two U.S. Midwestern institutions. Of these,…
Multivariate associations between passion, coping motives, and substance use outcomes in college students engaging in simultaneous alcohol and marijuana use
Exploring passion for opioid use with a treatment-seeking sample
The DMP is applicable to individuals with OUD who are treatment-ready, as obsessive passion is associated with opioid use frequency and use-related consequences. Passion may be a novel metric of treatment readiness to improve engagement with evidence-based treatment such as MOUD initiation and maintenance
Sex Differences in Religious Beliefs Before and After an Entity Encounter During an Ayahuasca Experience
An interesting aspect of entity encounters during psychedelic experiences is their ability to transform one's religious beliefs. However, little is known about sex differences in these transformations. This study investigates sex differences in changes in religious beliefs before and after an entity encounter among ayahuasca users. Data were collected via an anonymous Internet-based survey ( N = 415; M age = 38.53, SD = 11.39; male = 60.5%). Desc…
Self-Perceptions of Aging Among Young Adults Who Had Close Contact with a Grandparent
The present study aims to understand young adults’ self-perceptions of aging (SPA) and the way their SPA would form throughout close contact with a grandparent, guided by the intergroup contact hypothesis. Fourteen young adults participated in a semi-structured interview for this study. They were ages 18 to 39 and had experienced at least one year of close contact with a grandparent. Thematic analysis of the interviews generated four overarching …
The acceptability of non-abstinent treatment goals among clinical social workers in the United States
Research on acceptability of non-abstinence goals has focused primarily on addiction counsellors and lacks representation of clinical social workers (SWs). We examined whether acceptability of non-abstinence varied as a function of a client’s severity of substance use disorder (SUD) diagnosis (severe vs. moderate), finality of an outcome goal (intermediate vs. final), and type of substance (e.g. alcohol, cannabis) among clinical SWs in the US (Un…
Differences in attitudes and beliefs about psychedelic-assisted therapy among social workers, psychiatrists, and psychologists in the United States
Background and aimsBecause psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) is likely to be provided by interdisciplinary professional teams comprised of social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists, understanding the acceptability of this treatment approach among these professional disciplines is essential as the treatment advances through approval processes at the Food and Drug Administration.MethodsThe study includes data from three separate survey stud…
A Scoping Review of Resilience in Survivors of Human Trafficking
Resilience is critical among survivors of trafficking as they are mostly vulnerable populations who face multiple adversities before, during, and after trafficking. However, resilience in survivors of trafficking is understudied. This scoping review aims to clarify the current state of knowledge, focusing on definitions of resilience, how resilience has been studied, and factors associated with resilience among survivors. Five databases were sear…
Increases in cannabis use and negative emotions during Covid-19 pandemic among college students with cannabis use disorder
Using cross-sectional baseline measurements from a longitudinal cohort study, we evaluated the perceived impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on cannabis use and emotional well-being among college students meeting cannabis use disorder (CUD) criteria (N = 150). Compared to before the pandemic, participants retrospectively reported an increase in cannabis use during the first phase of the pandemic when stay-at-home orders occ…
Effects of Psychedelic Use on Racial Trauma Symptoms and Ethnic Identity among Asians in North America
There is a need to understand ways in which Asians in North America attempt to heal from racial trauma, given their well-documented high risk of exposure and associated adverse mental health outcomes. We conducted a secondary analysis of Asians from a survey of people of color in North America who have consumed psychedelics in response to racial discrimination. Ninety-two Asian participants ( M age = 30.25, SD = 6.83) completed online questions a…
People of color in North America report improvements in racial trauma and mental health symptoms following psychedelic experiences
This study examined how psychedelics reduced symptoms of racial trauma among black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) subsequent to an experience of racism. A cross-sectional internet-based survey included questions about experiences with racism, mental health symptoms, and acute and enduring psychedelic effects. Changes in mental health were assessed by retrospective report of symptoms in the 30 days before and 30 days after an experience …
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for trauma-exposed patients in an outpatient setting
Trauma exposure across the lifespan produces risks for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, as well as global disability in functioning. This retrospective clinical chart review is the first of its kind to assess the utility of sublingual ketamine-assisted body-centered psychotherapy in trauma-exposed patients in a real world clinic setting. De-identified clinical records data on self-reported symptom measures were retrospec…
Safety Issues for Social Workers Engaging in Anti-Trafficking Work
It is critical for state governments and social service agencies to promote, monitor, and protect the safety of social workers in all workplaces—especially those in anti-trafficking practice. According to NASW (2013, p. 5), a considerable number of social workers have been targeted in verbal and physical assaults. Some have even been injured, and others have lost their lives “in the line of duty.” Social workers have been murdered in the United K…
