Dynamic associations between cannabis use and sleep in adolescents and young adults during a cannabis intervention trial
Improving cannabis treatment for adolescents and young adults (AYA) is a public health priority. Sleep difficulties may serve as a treatment barrier, as AYA may use cannabis as a sleep aid and cessation may induce withdrawal-related sleep problems. While research has identified associations between cannabis use, CUD, and sleep, few studies have examined these associations during AYA treatment, and no studies have conducted day-level analyses. The…
Investigating Substance Use as a Coping Strategy Among Adolescent Psychiatric Inpatients: A Comparative Analysis Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Improving social recovery capital research to enhance clinical utility: A proposed agenda
Social recovery capital (SRC) is the combination of social resources that can be used to initiate and sustain addiction recovery through friends, family, and peers. Broadly, understanding one's SRC allows us to get a sense of where one has social support for recovery and where there may be social barriers to their recovery process. SRC is often a vital component of many people's recovery journey, yet our understanding of how best to use this conc…
Adolescent Sibling Associations among Alcohol, Cannabis, and Sexual Risk Behavior: A Test of Interdependence
Background Although siblings are conceptualized as a salient social influence during adolescence, few studies have examined how adolescent siblings influence each other’s substance use and risky sexual behavior. Objectives: In this study, we investigated the influence of alcohol use days, cannabis use days, and cannabis and alcohol co-use days on the sexual risk behavior of siblings while accounting for dyadic influence.Methods At the baseline vi…
Assessing Parent-Adolescent Substance Use Discussions Using the Continuous Assessment of Interpersonal Dynamics
Assessing parent-child interactions is critical for understanding family dynamics, however tools available for capturing these dynamics are limited. The current study sought to examine the validity of the Continuous Assessment of Interpersonal Dynamics (CAID) for understanding the dynamics of parent-adolescent substance use discussions. Specifically, we examined how CAID parameters were related to indicators of parenting and substance use. Sixty-…
Agency, communion, and pubertal status: Separating between‐ and within‐person associations to examine social goals development
OBJECTIVES: Agentic (status/independence) and communal (acceptance/connectedness) social goals are thought to shape how adolescents transact with their social environments. Despite their theoretical importance, little work has focused on the development of these higher order personality dimensions. Informed by developmental neuroscience and evolutionary psychology theoretical frameworks, the current study examined associations between pubertal st…
Reciprocal processes in trauma and coping: Bidirectional effects over a four-year period
Our study sheds new light on how coping and stressful events may impact one another across time. Findings suggest that a focus on approach-based coping skills may be an important direction for prevention efforts. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
Adolescent Social Norms and Alcohol Use: Separating Between‐ and Within‐Person Associations to Test Reciprocal Determinism
Despite perceived drinking norms being robust predictors of adolescent alcohol use, few studies have assessed the development of perceived norms across adolescence and processes accounting for the strong associations between perceived norms and drinking. Using reciprocal determinism as a theoretical basis for understanding the development of adolescent drinking norms, this study examined reciprocal associations across nine waves of data spanning …
Dyadic and Group-Level Positive Friendship Characteristics and Susceptibility to Perceived Delinquent Peer Substance Use
Peer relations researchers have suggested that dyadic and peer group relationship characteristics may interact with each other to affect behavior. Building on prior work that has pitted the relative effects of dyadic and peer group relationship characteristics on susceptibility to peer influence, the present study sought to integrate dyadic and group characteristics into a moderational model by testing whether friendship quality and peer group id…
A longitudinal examination of mediational pathways linking chronic victimization and exclusion to adolescent alcohol use
The current study examined developmentally informed pathways from peer victimization and exclusion to adolescent alcohol use. Using multiple informants (target and peer report of negative peer experiences) and a longitudinal sample of 387 adolescents, we examined 2 developmental pathways from these negative peer experiences to alcohol use, 1 through externalizing symptoms and the other through internalizing symptoms. When analyzed in separate mod…
