Emotional Psychopathology and Coping Cannabis Use Motives Are Involved in the Link Between Anxiety Sensitivity and Adverse Cannabis-Related Outcomes in Canadian Emerging Adults
Background: Cannabis use and related problems are prevalent among Canadian emerging adults. Investigating risk factors for cannabis use and related problems, such as personality traits, is important for earlier risk mitigation in this vulnerable population. Anxiety sensitivity (AS) is associated with adverse cannabis outcomes in emerging adults, though the mechanisms driving this effect remain unclear. Theory linking AS to cannabis use and relate…
The Role of Sleep in Mediating Mental Health Symptoms During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Children with and Without ADHD
Background: The COVID-19 virus is a source of both acute and chronic stress for many people. This stress could uniquely impact children and their mental health. Research has shown that children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are at an increased risk of negative mental health symptoms due to stress, but high-quality sleep may be associated with a protective role against these symptoms. We,…
Relationship Between Personality Traits and Emotional Impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Canadian Emerging Adults
We assessed whether traits from the four-factor vulnerability model for substance misuse are associated with the content of emotional descriptions given by Canadian university students of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their lives. Personality traits were measured in 1185 first- and second-year undergraduates (mean age = 19.11 years; 79% female). Written responses to "Tell us about how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting your life" were co…
Hazardous Drinking Mediates the Relation Between Externalizing Personality and Reduced Adherence to Covid-19 Public Health Guidelines in University Students
Using a multigroup path analysis, we examined if hazardous alcohol use mediated the relations between elevated externalizing personality traits (i.e., impulsivity or sensation seeking) and reduced adherence to COVID-19 public health guidelines. We hypothesized that those high in externalizing personality traits would demonstrate less adherence to public health guidelines and that hazardous alcohol use would mediate this relationship. First- and s…

Waterpipe Tobacco Smoking and Associated Risk Factors among Bangladeshi University Students
Over the past two decades, there has been a global rise in the prevalence of waterpipe tobacco smoking. Waterpipe tobacco smoking involves the inhalation of heated tobacco smoke after passing through water, and it has been associated with an identified dependence effect similar to that found with cigarette smoking. Despite the popularity of waterpipe tobacco among youth (and in particular, university students) in many countries, detailed data of …
Healthcare seeking behavior for common illness among Bangladeshi under-five children
Individual - , maternal- and household-level factors associated with stunting among children aged 0–23 months in Bangladesh
Objective Childhood stunting remains a major public health concern in Bangladesh. To accelerate the reduction rate of stunting, special focus is required during the first 23 months of a child’s life when the bulk of growth takes place. Therefore the present study explored individual-, maternal- and household-level factors associated with stunting among children under 2 years of age in Bangladesh. Design Data were collected through a nationwide cr…
Relationship between arsenic skin lesions and the age of natural menopause
The study showed a statistically significant association between chronic exposure to arsenic and age at menopause. Heavily exposed women experienced menopause two years earlier than those with lower or no exposure
