Associations Between School Start Times and Adolescent Dietary Intake
Earlier school start times have been associated with poorer adolescent health outcomes. However, there is limited research on the associations between school start times and diet. The present study aimed to assess associations between school start times and dietary intake in a national sample of US adolescents. Earlier school start time was expected to predict greater energy-dense, nutrient-poor food intake and less healthful/beneficial food inta…
Associations of General and Multiracial-Specific Discrimination with Psychological Distress and Substance Use in Multiracial College Students
Objectives Multiracial (alternatively, mixed-race or biracial) college students report higher rates of alcohol/substance use than their monoracial peers, yet factors associated with this disparity remain understudied. Guided by minority stress and tension-reduction frameworks, associations of general and Multiracial discrimination experiences with psychological distress and substance use were investigated.Methods Cross-sectional data obtained fro…
Cumulative Alcohol Metabolism Genetic Score as a Moderator of the Association Between Positive Drinking Consequences and Next‐Day Alcohol Use
Positive outcomes that college students experience after drinking alcohol can motivate them to drink in the future. However, college students may respond to similar alcohol‐related experiences differently according to genetic variability in their alcohol metabolism genes. This study investigated the effects of a cumulative genetic score (CGS) comprising alleles in ALDH2 rs671, ADH1B rs1229984 and ADH1C rs1693482 on relationships between positive …
Solitary Cannabis Use and Related Consequences Among College Students During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Solitary cannabis use has been associated with greater cannabis problems than social use and may be increasingly prevalent due to pandemic-related isolation. However, little is known about patterns, correlates, and consequences of solitary cannabis use. This study sought to characterize solitary cannabis use since pandemic onset, examine psychosocial risk factors, and examine interactions between solitary and social cannabis use frequency on cann…
The intersection of neighborhood and race in urban adolescent health risk behaviors
AIMS: Racial variability in associations of neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and neighborhood disorder with adolescent health risk behaviors remains under-researched, which this study examined over 1 year among racially diverse adolescents. METHODS: High school students (N = 345; 18% Asian, 44% Black, 16% Multiracial, 22% White) completed surveys assessing neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and neighborhood disorder, and health risk b…
Alcohol and Cannabis Use Milestones in Diverse Urban Adolescents
Objective: Alcohol and cannabis use progression milestones in adolescence (such as ages at first use, first intoxication and at onset of regular use) may inform the development of alcohol and cannabis use disorders. Although parent, sibling, and peer behavior and alcohol-related cognitions have been shown to be associated with alcohol milestone attainment, findings have been mixed; further, those factors’ associations with cannabis use milestones…
Prospective Associations of Discrimination, Race, and Sexual Orientation with Substance Use in Adolescents
Objective: Adolescents are at high risk for alcohol and cannabis use. Emerging evidence suggests that discrimination exposure is prospectively associated with risk for alcohol use among adolescents of marginalized race, sexual orientation, or gender identity. However, it is unknown whether prospective discrimination-substance use associations among marginalized adolescents are also present for cannabis use. This study examined prospective associa…
Vacation’s lingering benefits, but only for those with low stress jobs
Background Vacationing provides potential recovery from work stress and is associated with cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. This study considered psychological variables that might change as a vacation is approaching (fade-in) or after a vacation ends (fade-out) and how these associations might vary as a function of ongoing work stress. Methods: Sixty workers eligible for paid time off were recruited from the community. Multiple as…
Association of Sleep Quality With Greater Left Ventricular Mass in Children Aged 9 to 11 Years
OBJECTIVE: Research has consistently found associations between sleep characteristics and cardiovascular disease risk in children, adolescents, and adults. Although primarily investigated in clinical samples (e.g., in those with sleep disorders), greater left ventricular mass is associated with poor sleep quality in nonclinical adult populations as well; however, this has not been evaluated in children or adolescents. Our study aim was to conside…
Prescription Stimulant Misuse and Risk Correlates among Racially-Diverse Urban Adolescents
BACKGROUND: Most research on prescription stimulant misuse has focused on college students, and research on high school-aged adolescents is limited. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to characterize risk correlates of prescription stimulant misuse among a racially-diverse and socioeconomically-disadvantaged sample of urban adolescents. METHOD: = 1.08]; 57% female; 41% Black or African American, 22% White, 18% Asian, 17% Multiracial, 2% Pacific Islande…
Sleep-Related Cannabis Expectancy Questionnaire (SR-CEQ)
A growing body of literature demonstrates that cannabis is commonly used to aid sleep. Consistent with social cognitive theory, there is a vast literature documenting the role of outcome expectancies in the initiation, progression, and maintenance of cannabis use. Despite the readily endorsed belief that cannabis will help improve sleep, sleep-related expectancies have not been included in widely used cannabis expectancy measures. This study aime…
Sleep Problems and Drinking Frequency among Urban Multiracial and Monoracial Adolescents
Medication Beliefs, HIV-Related Stigmatization, and Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy
HIV-related stigma and beliefs about medication necessity and concerns have separately demonstrated significant associations with antiretroviral adherence in people with HIV. However, no work has examined both of these associations in the same model. Based on the necessity-concerns framework, this study examined four alternative models of relationships among HIV-related stigma, medication beliefs, and adherence. Cross-sectional analyses were used…
