Associations of Sexual Identity and Gender Identity with Substance Use and Mental Health in Young Adulthood
Background Research showing that sexual and gender minority (SGM) young adults are at increased risk of substance use and mental health symptoms have insufficiently accounted for SGM identity diversity. This study examined differences in substance use and mental health symptoms among young adults with diverse sexual (heterosexual, lesbian/gay, asexual, bisexual, pansexual, and queer) and gender (cisgender, transgender, and on-binary) identities.M…
Controlled Use of Cannabis Among Young Adults in Los Angeles Across Changes in Cannabis Policies
The availability of cannabis has increased due to expanding legalization of cannabis across the USA. Controlled use of cannabis - rules by cannabis users that limit use - is a significant but understudied area in the present policy environment, particularly among young adults. A prospective Los Angeles-based cohort aged 18-26 who used cannabis in the past 90 days was assessed during eight survey waves across 9 years. Four discrete waves were anal…
Mental and Physical Health-Related Cannabis Motives Mediate the Relationship between Childhood Trauma and Problematic Cannabis Use over Time among Emerging Adult Cannabis Users
Background While growing evidence has identified mental and physical health-related cannabis use motives as significant mechanisms between childhood trauma and problematic cannabis use (PCU) for emerging adults (EA), there is a need to understand the longitudinal stability of these pathways and how they impact PCU as cannabis users age into later adulthood.Methods The current study extends an analysis examining the impact of childhood trauma (e.g…
Sharing a secret: Disclosure practices among adolescents and young adults with chronic illness
Objective : Peer support is an essential component of adolescence and is instrumental in reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness. Yet, many youth and young adults experiencing a chronic medical condition conceal or minimize aspects of their conditions due to feared rejection. Disclosure practices in adolescents with chronic illnesses are not well-studied with little known about the nature of information disclosed. This study sought to bette…
Narrative exposure therapy to reduce posttraumatic stress symptoms among transgender and gender diverse adolescents and young adults: A pilot study
The Implementation of Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) for Transgender and Gender Diverse Adolescents and Young Adults
NET shows promise as an effective brief intervention to reduce PTSD symptomology and increase resiliency in TGD AYA
Coping Motives Mediate the Association of Trauma History with Problematic Cannabis Use in Young Adult Medical Cannabis Patients and Non-Patient Cannabis Users
Background: Despite evidence of the contribution of childhood trauma to the development of problematic cannabis use, its mediating pathways are largely unknown. Given the link between cannabis motives with trauma and problematic cannabis use, motives of use may represent a construct through which trauma impacts problematic cannabis use. Methods: A sample of 339 medical cannabis patient and non-patient young adult users from the Los Angeles area w…
An Ecological Approach to Understanding Adolescent Prescription Drug Misuse
Nonmedical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD) among U.S. adolescents is a burgeoning public health problem. Previous studies have observed differences in rates of NMUPD among ethnic/racial groups. However, less is known on the social and cultural processes and mechanisms, which may influence adolescents’ prescription drug beliefs and practices. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 diverse 13- to 17-year-olds in an adolescent psychiatric…
