Social Safety and Health Outcomes in Emerging Adults
Social safety theory suggests that individuals from minoritized racial and ethnic groups or sexual and gender diverse (SGD) groups are exposed to multilevel and interacting stressors, which can set the stage for adverse health outcomes. Using a social safety framework, we examine interactions between discrimination and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health outcomes and how these interactions may differ by race and ethnicity or SGD status…

This study utilized qualitative interviews to explore opioid withdrawal experiences and consequences among PWUO in Los Angeles County, USA. METHODS: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 22 PWUO (aged 27-63 years) between May 2021 and May 2022. Participants self-reported opioid and injec…
Sexual Violence Victimization and Pregaming Protective Behavioral Strategies Among College Students
BACKGROUND: Sexual violence is a major public health concern that has a detrimental impact on mental health, physical health, and academic performance. College students represent a population that is at an increased risk of experiencing sexual violence. Alcohol use, and more specifically, heavy drinking during pregaming events, is associated with increased risk of sexual violence. Studies have demonstrated that protective behavioral strategies ha…
A Deeper Dive into Young Adults’ Experiences with E-Cigarettes, E-Cigarette Cessation, and Transitioning to Cigarette Smoking
Introduction: E-cigarette use among young adults is prevalent, with some voicing their desire to quit using e-cigarettes but needing support to do so. Young adults who use e-cigarettes are at risk for progressing to smoking combustible cigarettes, placing them at risk for severe health consequences. Limited research exists describing young adults’ lived experiences with using e-cigarettes, e-cigarette cessation, and progression to combustible cig…
Bidirectional Associations Between Pain and Perceived Stress Among Veterans
OBJECTIVE: Military veterans who were injured in combat very often report pain along with co-occurring perceived stress and preexisting depressive disorder. The systems model of pain is a theoretical model suggesting that pain and perceived stress are bidirectionally associated at the within-person level, and associations are heightened among those with depressive disorder. However, the systems model of pain has not been adequately tested. Testin…
Military sexual trauma, childhood trauma, and combat trauma
Social support significantly predicted posttraumatic growth, with varying impacts across trauma classes. Interventions could be vital for survivors of MST, childhood trauma, or compounded traumas to enhance posttraumatic growth among military veterans.

Maternal and adolescent depressive symptoms and family conflict
Maternal and adolescent depression are challenges that often co‐occur. Many studies have drawn bivariate associations between maternal depressive symptoms, adolescent depressive symptoms, and family conflict, but few have examined reciprocal effects. Even among extant studies, there is a lack of clarity related to directionality of influence. Three competing theoretical models may explain the relationship between maternal depressive symptoms, ado…
Stress and Coping among Post-9/11 Veterans During Covid-19
Behavioral health has been a topic of great concern during the COVID-19 pandemic, with researchers and health providers exhibiting special concern for populations who are at-risk for mental health and substance use disorders. American veterans are one such group, as they already experience behavioral health disorders at disproportionate rates, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders (SUDs).…
Adolescent Substance Use and Individual Beliefs That Drug Use Is Wrong
OBJECTIVE: Informed by cognitive dissonance theory, the current study investigated the ability of youths' belief that drug use is wrong to predict likelihood of past year substance use abstinence as well as frequency of use at grades 8, 10, and 12. METHOD: Study analyses were executed from a statewide epidemiological survey of more than 125,000 youth using multi-group Zero-Inflated Poisson regression modeling. RESULTS: Personal belief that drug u…
Mindful of personality trait change
OBJECTIVE: Are treatment effects on personality trait change ephemeral and attributable to change in clinical states? Data of an intervention study were used to examine if change in clinical states (e.g., stress or depression) accounts for change in personality traits and to test whether both changes in traits and clinical states were independently associated with substance use. METHOD: = 25.3, SD = 2.7; 35% female) took part at a 4-week interven…
Alcohol and Cannabis Use Trajectories and Outcomes in a Sample of Hispanic, White, and Asian Sexual and Gender Minority Emerging Adults
Substance use disproportionately affects health and psychosocial outcomes for some racial/ethnic groups, but few longitudinal studies examine the extent to which sexual and gender minority (SGM) emerging adults of different racial/ethnic groups may experience disparities in outcomes at similar levels of alcohol or cannabis use. This study used five waves of annual survey data (spanning 2015 (average age 18) to 2020 (average age 23)) from an ongoi…
Substance Use, Financial Stress, Employment Disruptions, and Anxiety among Veterans during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in financial, employment, and mental health challenges. In general, American veterans report high rates of substance use, which may be influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Those with pre-existing mental health problems, employment disruptions, or financial stress may be particularly vulnerable. We examined the relationships between pre-existing self-report screens for a probable anxiety disorder, COVID-19-relate…
Medicaid, Race, Utilization of Crisis Services at Community Mental Health Agencies
We compare African-American and White clients receiving services at 13 rural and semi-rural community mental health agencies (CMHAs) and the impact of Medicaid on the use of crisis and outpatient services. SEM was utilized to model the indirect effect of crisis services between the association of Medicaid and total hours of outpatient services. We modeled the moderating effects of race using mixture modeling and latent class. The base model showe…
Cross-Lagged Associations of Insecure Attachment Style, Alcohol Use, and Sexual Behavior During Emerging Adulthood
Uploading Risk
The aim of this study was to determine the social profile of individuals who are most at risk of engaging in risky social media challenges (RSMCs). Young adults (N = 331, 56.3 percent female) aged 18–25 years (Mage = 21.4) completed an online survey in which they indicated which RSMCs they had done (e.g., Cinnamon Challenge, Fire Challenge), and completed measures of social motives (i.e., need to belong, need for popularity, and fear of missing o…
The Emerging Adult Reasons for Substance Use (Ears)
Introduction: Substance use peaks during the transition to adulthood, beckoning additional research on its developmental influences. This article reports initial findings on the validity and reliability of the Emerging Adult Reasons for Substance use (EARS), a new measure of substance use motives based on Arnett’s (2000 Arnett, J. J. (2000). Emerging adulthood: A theory of development from the late teens through the twenties. The American Psychol…
Protective Behavioral Strategies and Alcohol Use While Pregaming
Background The study evaluated the moderating role of anxiety and depression symptoms on the association between subscales on the Protective Behavioral Strategies for Pregaming (PBSP) scale (safety and familiarity, setting drink limits, pacing drinking, and minimizing intoxication) and alcohol consumption during pregaming. Methods: Participants were 359 traditional age undergraduate college students (M = 20, SD = 1.37; 61.7% female; 61.2% White) …
Temporal, Sex-Specific, Social Media-Based Alcohol Influences during the Transition to College
Background The transition to college is an important developmental phase, usually met with increased social desirability, access to alcohol, and new peer groups. Recently, research has utilized social media as a predictor of events during college, but few have assessed how social media can influence alcohol use during the transition to college. Methods: Participants (N = 320) were recruited prior to entering their first year of college. Participa…
Changes in Physical Activity among United Kingdom University Students Following the Implementation of Coronavirus Lockdown Measures
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and resulting restrictions have significantly impacted physical activity levels. However, objectively measured changes in physical activity levels among UK university students during lockdown are understudied. Using data collected via remote measurement technology from a mobile physical activity tracker, this study aimed to describe the longitudinal trajectories of physical activity following the start of lockdown a…
American Veterans in the Era of Covid-19
A functioning addict is still a kid
Emerging adults (EAs; 18 to 29 year olds) experience high rates of substance use and disordered use. Few studies examine whether developmental theories account for elevated use among EAs across the continuum of substance use. This study surveyed emerging adults in residential treatment, focusing on their impressions of the Emerging Adulthood Theory (EAT) and whether it applied to their substance use. EAs (n = 21) receiving residential treatment d…

Longitudinal Examination of the Bullying-Sexual Violence Pathway across Early to Late Adolescence
Is It Good to Be Bad? A Longitudinal Analysis of Adolescent Popularity Motivations as a Predictor of Engagement in Relational Aggression and Risk Behaviors
We examined the impact of adolescents' popularity motivations on their involvement in relational aggression perpetration and victimization, heavy drinking, and antiauthority behavior, while also considering the role of teens' perception of their own popularity and psychosocial adjustment. High school students ( N = 986; 50% female; Mage = 14.98 years) completed a battery of self-report questionnaires survey in the fall and again, 6 months later. …
Traditional and cyber bullying and sexual harassment
Adolescents engage in bullying and sexual harassment perpetration both in-person and online. Yet, little is known about the overlap of traditional (in-person) and cyber bullying and sexual harassment perpetration. The present study assessed the co-occurrence of these forms of aggression in high school and identified middle school predictors based on participants' perceptions of factors across the social ecology. Racially diverse middle and high s…

Normative Feedback and Adolescent Readiness to Change
For adolescents with substance use problems, it is unknown whether the provision of normative feedback is a necessary active ingredient in motivational interviewing (MI). This study investigated the impact of normative feedback on adolescents' readiness to change and perceptions of MI quality. Adolescents referred for substance use disorder (SUD) assessments were randomized to MI with normative feedback (NF; MI + NF, n = 26) or MI only (MI, n = 2…

A conceptual framework for understanding the association between school bullying victimization and substance misuse
This article reviews current research findings and presents a conceptual framework for better understanding the relationship between bullying victimization (hereafter referred to as victimization) and substance misuse (hereafter referred to as SM) among adolescents. Although victimization and SM may appear to be separate problems, research suggests an intriguing relationship between the 2. We present a brief, empirical overview of the direct asso…
Racial matching and adolescent self-disclosure of substance use and mental health symptoms
Obtaining accurate assessment data from adolescents in treatment aids clinical decision making and facilitates more accurate outcome evaluations. However, findings could be biased due to underreported substance use and mental health symptoms. This article compares self-reports of youth in non-White matched client-assessor dyads and those in nonmatched dyads. There were no differences on self-reported substance use, but matched youth reported sign…
Young Adulthood Is the Crucible of Personality Development
The last two decades have seen a rapid acceleration of research on personality development focusing on the periods of late adolescence and young adulthood. The findings paint a picture of surprising quiescence in adolescence followed by a period of tremendous growth and change in personality traits in young adulthood. The patterns and potential reasons for these changes are discussed in the context of the Neo-Socioanalytic model of personality an…
Homesickness and adjustment across the first year of college
Homesickness can put individuals at risk for a host of adjustment difficulties. The millions of students that leave home for college each year may be particularly susceptible to experiencing homesickness. There is little work, however, examining individual variation in homesickness over time and how these changes predict different outcomes in college. The present study examines weekly levels of homesickness during the first term of college and te…
Lying or longing for likes? Narcissism, peer belonging, loneliness and normative versus deceptive like-seeking on Instagram in emerging adulthood
We examined the extent to which emerging adults engage in different behaviors on Instagram, a popular social networking site, to gain attention and validation from others via “likes.” We also examined individual differences in the frequency of like-seeking behavior and motives for Instagram use as mediators of these relationships. Participants (N = 198 and 265 (replication study)) were recruited via an online crowdsourcing portal to complete a su…
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Development in Emerging Adulthood
To date, no study has investigated the relation of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) with the developmental identification of the dimensions of emerging adulthood (IDEA; e.g., identity development, experimentation). Participants ( N = 832) were recruited from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (version: ‘2014 - 08- 15'). Basic associations between ACEs and the IDEA were conducted as well as indirect effects between ACEs and the IDEA for endorsement of t…
Predictive Validity of Single-Item Motivational Measures for Emerging Adults in Substance-Use Disorder Treatment
Objective: Few studies have examined which measures of motivation for change predict abstinence and early remission outcomes (AER) for emerging adults with substance-use disorders, and recent research suggests that single-item measures may perform as well as longer readiness-to-change scales. This study extends findings to emerging adults (ages 18–25) treated in outpatient settings by investigating the predictive validity of a single-item motivat…

Longitudinal Examination of the Bullying-Sexual Violence Pathway across Early to Late Adolescence
Direct and indirect effects of mindfulness, PTSD, and depression on self-stigma of mental illness in OEF/OIF veterans
PTSD is strongly associated with self-stigma in military veterans, many of whom do not seek mental health treatment. Findings show that mindfulness is a promising intervention target for reducing symptoms of PTSD directly and reducing associated self-stigma of mental illness indirectly. Additional investigation of links between mindfulness, PTSD and depressive symptoms, and self-stigma in military veterans is warranted. (PsycInfo Database Record …

Family Violence, Sibling, and Peer Aggression During Adolescence
Bullying and sibling aggression can appear as similar behavior, though the latter is comparatively understudied. Aligned with the Theory of Intergenerational Transmission of Violence, research suggests that exposure to family violence increases an individual's risk for perpetrating violence in their own future relationships. Additionally, Problem Behavior Theory suggests that engaging in one problem behavior (e.g., bullying) increases the likelih…

Intra-familial Violence and Peer Aggression Among Early Adolescents
Examining social-ecological correlates of youth gang entry among serious juvenile offenders
Decades of research have categorized risk and protective factors for youth gang involvement in social contexts that include individual, family, peer, school, and community factors. However, most studies are cross-sectional and only examine 1 or 2 social-ecological contexts. This study, which used a time-to-event model with time-variant and time-invariant predictors, adds to this literature by using longitudinal social-ecological factors to examin…
