Co‐Designing AI ‐Generated Vaping Awareness Materials With Adolescents and Young Adults: A Qualitative Study
A nationally representative repeated cross-sectional study of 10-year substance use trends among culturally and linguistically diverse Australians
In Australia, CALD individuals had lower prevalence of use of most tobacco products, e-cigarettes, alcohol, and illicit drugs than non-CALD individuals. Between 2013 and 2022/23, roll-your-own cigarette and waterpipe use remained stable among CALD individuals despite significant declines in non-CALD individuals. Both groups experienced steep rises in e-cigarette use between 2016 and 2022/23

Multiple Social Demographics and Disparities in Smoking Cessation During Pregnancy in the United States, 2016–2022: An Intersectional Analytic Framework
Objectives. To examine how multiple social demographics shape disparities in smoking cessation during pregnancy in an intersectional analytic framework. Methods. We analyzed US National Vital Statistics System (2016–2022) data on 588 435 primiparous women with prepregnancy smoking. We constructed 192 intersectional strata to represent contexts defined by race/ethnicity, education, marital status, insurance status, and immigration status. We condu…

Regional and Country Prevalence Estimates of Unsafe Sex Among Adolescents in 68 Low-Income and Middle-Income Countries
Prioritizing adolescent health is a public health priority to achieve the sustainable development goals, including reducing the risk of unsafe sex. Data on unsafe sex have remained scarce among adolescents in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). To estimate the prevalence of unsafe sex in LMICs, we conducted secondary data analysis on the Global School-based Student Health Surveys among 244,863 students aged 13–17 years from 68 countries acro…

Trends and Socio-Demographic Differences of Cannabis Vaping in the USA and Canada
Given the rise in cannabis vaping, it is important to highlight the heterogeneity in vaping different cannabis product because of the potential differences in their health risks. This study aims to estimate the trends and socio-demographic correlates of the use of various cannabis vaping products across jurisdiction with different legal status. Data from the 2018 (n = 27,169) and 2019 (n = 47,747) waves of the International Cannabis Policy Study …
Changes in Viewer Engagement and Accessibility of Popular Vaping Videos on TikTok: A 12-Month Prospective Study
Whilst the depiction type and thematic distribution of removed videos suggest that TikTok may be removing a small proportion of content that promotes the use of e-cigarettes, metadata of remaining videos indicate an increase in viewer engagement. TikTok's removal of explicit substance-related hashtags from the platform could be a step towards preventing adolescents from being exposed to harmful behaviours and substances online. However, the platf…
Changes in patterns of youth multiple tobacco and/or e-cigarette product use in the US between 2014 and 2020: A multiple-group latent class analysis
There was an increase in regular e-cigarette use in all three classes, but a corresponding decrease in the proportion of MTEP use. Public health interventions to discourage uptake of e-cigarettes, such as tighter restrictions on marketing to minors, are warranted and there is a need to consider disparities in the determinants of MTEP use
Personal Correlates of Support for Medical and Recreational Cannabis Legalization in Australia
Introduction and Aims: Increasingly more Australians are in favor of legalizing medical and recreational cannabis use. This paper explored the personal characteristics of those who supported each of these policies in Australia. Design: Cross-sectional national survey.

Anxiety and Panic Buying Behaviour during Covid-19 Pandemic—A Qualitative Analysis of Toilet Paper Hoarding Contents on Twitter
Background : The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had increased population-level anxiety and had elicited panic buying behaviour across the world. The over-hoarding of toilet paper has received a lot of negative public attention. In this work, we used Twitter data to qualitatively analyse tweets related to panic buying of toilet paper during the crisis. Methods : A total of 255,171 tweets were collected. Of these 4081 met our inclusio…
Vaping on TikTok: A systematic thematic analysis
Our findings illustrated that positively framed e-cigarette and vaping-related postings available without age restrictions on TikTok-a rising video-sharing platform that is popular among adolescents-have been viewed many times. Effective age restrictions are needed to reduce adolescents' potential exposure to videos that portray vaping positively

The cross-national epidemiology of social anxiety disorder: Data from the World Mental Health Survey Initiative
BACKGROUND: There is evidence that social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a prevalent and disabling disorder. However, most of the available data on the epidemiology of this condition originate from high income countries in the West. The World Mental Health (WMH) Survey Initiative provides an opportunity to investigate the prevalence, course, impairment, socio-demographic correlates, comorbidity, and treatment of this condition across a range of high, …
Posttraumatic stress disorder in the World Mental Health Surveys
Background Traumatic events are common globally; however, comprehensive population-based cross-national data on the epidemiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the paradigmatic trauma-related mental disorder, are lacking. Methods Data were analyzed from 26 population surveys in the World Health Organization World Mental Health Surveys. A total of 71 083 respondents ages 18+ participated. The Composite International Diagnostic Interview …
Association of Mental Disorders With Subsequent Chronic Physical Conditions: World Mental Health Surveys From 17 Countries
These findings suggest that mental disorders of all kinds are associated with an increased risk of onset of a wide range of chronic physical conditions. Current efforts to improve the physical health of individuals with mental disorders may be too narrowly focused on the small group with the most severe mental disorders. Interventions aimed at the primary prevention of chronic physical diseases should optimally be integrated into treatment of all…
Psychotic Experiences in the General Population: A Cross-National Analysis Based on 31 261 Respondents From 18 Countries
The epidemiologic features of PEs are more nuanced than previously thought. Research is needed that focuses on similarities and differences in the predictors of the onset, course, and consequences of distinct PEs.
