Comparing undergraduate learning outcomes and experiences across code-based and non-code-based statistical software platforms in courses utilizing the Passion-Driven Statistics curriculum
This study examines whether undergraduate students in an introductory statistics course report different learning outcomes and experiences based on whether they use code-based or non-code-based statistical software. The sample included 2,241 students enrolled in courses using the Passion-Driven Statistics curriculum across 61 post-secondary institutions. Seventy-two percent of participants learned a code-based platform (R, SAS, Stata, Python), wh…
Trends in U.S. Depression Prevalence From 2015 to 2020
Alcohol Use Disorder Symptoms Rather than Alcohol Exposure Predict Experiences of Cannabis Use Disorder Symptoms among Adolescents and Young Adults
Background: Alcohol and cannabis use are highly comorbid. Objective: We evaluate if alcohol use and/or alcohol use disorder symptoms predict experiences of cannabis use disorder symptoms among adolescents and young adults and whether the relationships differ based on frequency of cannabis use, recency of cannabis initiation and age. Method: Data were drawn from five annual surveys of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2014–2018) to inclu…
Cigarette dependence is more prevalent and increasing among US adolescents and adults who use cannabis, 2002–2019
US individuals who use both cigarettes and cannabis report a higher prevalence of cigarette dependence relative to individuals who use cigarettes and do not use cannabis at virtually all levels of cigarette consumption. Further, cigarette dependence is increasing in the USA both among those who use and do not use cannabis. Given the increase in cannabis use among those using cigarettes, efforts to elucidate the nature of the association between c…
Trends in Daily Cannabis Use Among Cigarette Smokers
Objectives. To estimate changes in the prevalence of daily cannabis use among current, former, and never cigarette smokers from 2002 to 2014 in the United States. Methods. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health is a nationally representative cross-sectional study conducted annually among persons aged 12 years and older in the United States. Results. Daily cannabis use occurs nearly exclusively among nondaily and daily cigarette smokers compar…
A Practical Guide to Calculating Cohen’s f2, a Measure of Local Effect Size, from PROC Mixed
Reporting effect sizes in scientific articles is increasingly widespread and encouraged by journals; however, choosing an effect size for analyses such as mixed-effects regression modeling and hierarchical linear modeling can be difficult. One relatively uncommon, but very informative, standardized measure of effect size is Cohen's f(2), which allows an evaluation of local effect size, i.e., one variable's effect size within the context of a mult…
Substance use and behaviour disorders in Puerto Rican youth
BACKGROUND: Hispanics in the USA have higher rates of substance use disorders than similar ethnic groups residing in Latin American nations, and recent evidence suggests an increase in substance use among US Hispanic youth. This investigation examines the familial and societal correlates of this increase by comparing Puerto Rican families residing in the mainland USA and Puerto Rico. METHODS: Using migrant and controlled family study methods, 279…
Risk and protective factors associated with trajectories of depressed mood from adolescence to early adulthood.
This study used semi-parametric group-based modeling to explore unconditional and conditional trajectories of self-reported depressed mood from ages 12 to 25 years. Drawing on data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (N = 11,559), 4 distinct trajectories were identified: no depressed mood, stable low depressed mood, early high declining depressed mood, and late escalating depressed mood. Baseline risk factors associated with…
Characteristics and functions of non-suicidal self-injury in a community sample of adolescents
Background Few studies have investigated non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), or the deliberate, direct destruction of body tissue without conscious suicidal intent, and the motivations for engaging in NSSI among adolescents. This study assessed the prevalence, associated clinical characteristics, and functions of NSSI in a community sample of adolescents. Method A total of 633 adolescents completed anonymous surveys. NSSI was assessed with the Funct…
