Obsessive Passion for Cannabis Use is Associated with Cannabis Outcomes Among Sexual Minority College Students
Background: We examined whether obsessive passion (OP) for cannabis use (e.g., cannabis use is enmeshed with identity and conflicts with values and other life priorities) predicts future cannabis use, use-related consequences, refusal self-efficacy, and satisfaction with life among sexual minority (SM) college students. Objectives: Data were drawn from a prospective cohort study of 513 undergraduates at two U.S. Midwestern institutions. Of these,…
Development and assessment of a psychedelic-assisted therapy music playlist for clinical trials
Background and Purpose Music plays a central role in psychedelic-assisted therapy, yet few methodologies exist to create and assess therapeutic playlists. This study aimed to illustrate a methodology for developing and evaluating a music playlist for a clinical psilocybin trial using an integrative framework grounded in theory, intentionality, and metrics. Methods A playlist was designed based on clinical experience, phenomenological data, and th…
Perspectives of clinicians on the potential impact of social media on social and emotional wellbeing, training needs, and screening recommendations
We outline recommendations for implementing screening for social media experiences, responding to harmful online experiences, and future clinical research directions to fill gaps in training and service provision related to adolescents' social media use
Social Workers’ Attitudes and Beliefs about MDMA-Assisted Therapy for Adolescents with PTSD
Given the widespread interest and ongoing study on MDMA-assisted therapy (MDMA-AT) for PTSD, its implications for unique populations—such as adolescents—require further understanding. Social workers will likely play a crucial role in the potential implementation of this intervention, but their perspectives remain unknown. The study includes 222 social workers randomized to read one of two vignettes about MDMA-AT or selective serotonin reuptake in…
Five-year outcomes of psilocybin-assisted therapy for Major Depressive Disorder
BackgroundMajor Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a leading cause of disability and economic loss, with high recurrence and treatment resistance. Psilocybin-assisted therapy (PAT) shows promise in reducing depressive symptoms, but long-term effects are unknown. We aimed to determine the long-term safety and efficacy of PAT for MDD over a five-year follow-up period.MethodsIndividuals who previously participated in an RCT studying the effects of PAT for…
Problematic and Harmful Social Media Use among Adolescents Receiving Intensive Psychiatric Care
Although research has shown both positive and negative mental health correlates of social media use, few studies focus on adolescents who are receiving intensive psychiatric care. The purpose of this study was to describe problematic media use, experiences of cybervictimization and sextortion, and correlates with adolescents' health in a sample of adolescents ( N = 97; 53.6% female) in a partial psychiatric hospitalization program. Approximately …
The Epidemiology of Psychedelic Use Among United States Military Veterans
We sought to identify patterns of psychedelic use among United States military veterans, compare demographic variables and perspectives of those who did and did not report use, and characterize benefits and adverse outcomes associated with use. Respondents ( N = 426) were recruited to complete an online cross-sectional survey. Approximately one-half (51%) reported using psychedelics. Most did so for healing/treatment (70%) and/or spiritual purpos…
Differences in attitudes and beliefs about psychedelic-assisted therapy among social workers, psychiatrists, and psychologists in the United States
Background and aimsBecause psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) is likely to be provided by interdisciplinary professional teams comprised of social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists, understanding the acceptability of this treatment approach among these professional disciplines is essential as the treatment advances through approval processes at the Food and Drug Administration.MethodsThe study includes data from three separate survey stud…
Increases in cannabis use and negative emotions during Covid-19 pandemic among college students with cannabis use disorder
Using cross-sectional baseline measurements from a longitudinal cohort study, we evaluated the perceived impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on cannabis use and emotional well-being among college students meeting cannabis use disorder (CUD) criteria (N = 150). Compared to before the pandemic, participants retrospectively reported an increase in cannabis use during the first phase of the pandemic when stay-at-home orders occ…
Adolescent Coping
Cyber-victimization has become a serious concern facing adolescents in the digital age. Given the differences and similarities between cyber-victimization and in-person victimization, research needs to examine whether prior understanding of coping with in-person victimization applies to coping with cyber-victimization. The purpose of this study was to compare the use and effectiveness of coping strategies in both in-person and cyber-victimization…
Relation of occupational class and education with mortality in Korea
Although the association between socioeconomic status and mortality has been studied in developed countries, much less is known about this association elsewhere. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation of occupational class and education with mortality in South Korea. We investigated mortality in the Korean working population aged 20–64 using registered death data from 1993 to 1997 obtained from the Korean National Statistics Office…

Cancer mortality and saccharin consumption in diabetics
The mortality experience of 5971 members of the British Diabetic Association (BDA) was followed-up for between five and eight years to mid-1973. Overall, 1207 deaths occurred compared with 778 expected from the mortality of the population of England and Wales in 1972. This excess of deaths was due almost entirely to diabetes mellitus and ischaemic heart disease. Deaths from cancer (128) were significantly fewer than expected (168), mainly because…
Bladder cancer mortality in diabetics in relation to saccharin consumption and smoking habits
The frequency with which diabetes mellitus was mentioned on the death certificates of 18,733 patients dying from bladder cancer has been compared with that of 19,709 patients dying from other cancers (excluding cancer of the lung and pancreas). The estimated relative risk of bladder cancer in diabetics was 0-98 with 95% confidence limits 0-70-1-38. There was no increase in risk of bladder cancer in patients with diabetes of long duration. Diabeti…
Bladder cancer mortality in England and Wales in relation to cigarette smoking and saccharin consumption
Cohort analyses of bladder cancer mortality rates in men and women in England and Wales have been compared with figures for the per caput consumption of saccharin and cigarette tobacco and with similar analyses of cigarette smoking habits. The increase in bladder cancer mortality rates in male cohorts born since 1870 can be attributed to cigarette smoking, and there is no evidence of any break in the continuity of the trends in either men or wome…
