ADHD and Cannabis Use in College Students
Background: ADHD is a developmental risk factor for cannabis misuse and cannabis use disorder. Individuals with ADHD also struggle to cope with negative affect and are more likely to engage in potentially maladaptive, avoidant coping behaviors. Such responses may be particularly salient in college, a developmental period characterized by increased stress and autonomy and easy access to highly reinforcing substances. However, despite this increase…
Contextualizing Attitudes About Violence from the Vantage Point of Street-Identified Black Male Youth
Using Street Participatory Action Research (Street PAR), we examined the role of subjective neighborhood quality in bypassing adolescence (through adultification) and pro-violence attitudes among Black male youth. One hundred and thirty-seven street-identified, Black adolescent males (M/SDage = 18.07/1.66) were recruited using snowball sampling through social networks of individuals who identified as “street” or engaged in illegal activity. Respo…
Impact of Sex and Salivary Dehydroepiandrosterone on the Association Between Testosterone and Emotion Dysregulation
Adolescence is marked by changes in affect‐related processing that allow individuals to learn from, and adapt to, their socioemotional environments. Although this flexibility allows for greater adaptation, it also confers unique vulnerability, marked by a rise in emotion dys regulation and risk for psychopathology. Mounting evidence implicates adolescent changes in pubertal hormones in the emergence of emotion dysregulation and sex differences th…
Structural barriers explain the link between negative community re‐entry experiences and motives for illegal behavior in street‐identified Black men and women
This study examines how the re‐entry process is related to structural barriers in the community and to motives for engaging in illegal behavior—two key risk factors for recidivism. We analyzed survey data collected on perceptions of community re‐entry, employment opportunities, neighborhood violence, and illegal behavior motives from 379 formerly incarcerated and street‐identified Black‐American community members residing in Wilmington, Delaware …
A pilot trial of behavioural activation with a contingency management component
The heaviest smoking and burden of tobacco‐related illness occurs among low‐income individuals. Using a behavioural economics framework, this non‐randomised pilot study examined the preliminary efficacy of behavioural activation (BA) with a contingency management (CM) component designed to encourage continued use of BA skills and reductions in cigarettes smoked. Eighty‐four participants were recruited from a community centre. Data were collected …
Elevations in Blood Pressure Associated with Exposure to Violence are Mitigated by Pro-gun-Carrying Attitudes among Street-Identified Black Males and Females
Validation of the Motivational Inventory Underlying Substance Use Engagement (MI-USE)
as a reliable and valid tool for assessing diverse substance use motivations. It improves upon existing measures by allowing clinicians and researchers to simultaneously evaluate motivations for multiple forms of substance use, which facilitates personalized treatment planning and research on polysubstance use
Alterations in reward and emotional processing differentiate among adults with a history of childhood maltreatment
Although childhood maltreatment is a well-established risk factor for a multitude of poor psychosocial outcomes, considerably less is known about mechanisms driving this risk transmission. Recent theoretical models posit that types of childhood maltreatment (deprivation vs. threat) may lead to alterations in reward and emotional processing that confer risk for later psychosocial problems. However, empirical examination of these theories is curren…
