Internet Gaming Disorder and Nonmedical Prescription Drug Use
Internet gaming disorder (IGD) and nonmedical prescription drug use (NMPDU) are prevalent, co-occurring concerns among young adults. Although prior research links problematic gaming and substance misuse, few studies have examined this relationship in non-college populations or whether student status modifies this association. This study examined the relationship between Gaming Addiction Scale (GAS) score and NMPDU among 1022 Rhode Island young ad…
Measuring Restrictive Masculinity
Restrictive masculinity is a rigid construct of how to define manliness that is associated with several health harms. The current study sought to develop a brief questionnaire to measure restrictive masculinity. The questionnaire items were based on the restrictive masculinity norms defined by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Development Centre and refined through expert input and focus group sessions. The restric…
Substance Misuse among Sexual and Gender Minorities
BACKGROUND: Sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) often deal with discrimination which can result in maladaptive coping like substance misuse, yet few studies have examined the association between everyday discrimination and various types of substance misuse among SGMs or whether there is heterogeneity in substance misuse or this relationship by SGM identity. METHODS: Data from 1316 adult SGMs in the United States were recruited from Reddit between…

The Mobile Screen Time Project was a cross-sectional, web-based survey conducted from March to May of 2019. 437 U.S. college students were recruited via social networks from two institutions of higher education…
Everyday discrimination and mental health among sexual and gender minority adults
Sexual minority status, illicit drug use, and depressive symptoms
Youth who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and who identify with other sexual orientations (LGB+) are at higher risk for illicit drug use and have higher rates of mental illness. The current study examined the prevalence of illicit drug use among LGB+ persons and assessed the moderating effect of mental illness. Cross-sectional data from the 2015, 2017, and 2019 Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System were aggregated. The outcome was any reported us…
Exposure to Alcohol Marketing and Alcohol-Related Consequences in Young Adults

Consequently, the current study sought to identify associations between exposure to alcohol marketing and alcohol-related consequences in young adults. Methods: A secondary analysis of the 2020 Rhode Island Young Adult Survey was conducted. Participants…

Global rise in human infectious disease outbreaks
To characterize the change in frequency of infectious disease outbreaks over time worldwide, we encoded and analysed a novel 33-year dataset (1980–2013) of 12 102 outbreaks of 215 human infectious diseases, comprising more than 44 million cases occuring in 219 nations. We merged these records with ecological characteristics of the causal pathogens to examine global temporal trends in the total number of outbreaks, disease richness (number of uniq…

This paper aims to answer three questions that could further our knowledge regarding the links between alcohol use and HIV infection: (a) "Are problem drinkers more likely to have multiple concurrent partners than those who are not?"; (b) "Are condoms applied less effectively and less consi…
