  • Associations Between Cannabis Use and Mental Health in Patients Accessing Treatment for Substance Use Disorders

    Justin Matheson, James Mackillop et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2025

    Background: Cannabis use is common among individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs), yet its relationship with mental health characteristics in treatment-seeking populations remains unclear. Objectives: This study examined associations between cannabis use and mental health in patients seeking SUD treatment, to understand whether cannabis use relates to clinical characteristics relevant to SUD care. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey w…

  • Cognitive Dysfunction in the Addictions (CDiA)

    Open AccessYuliya S Nikolova, Anthony C Ruocco et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025

    Substance use disorders (SUDs), including Alcohol Use Disorder, are pressing global public health problems. Executive functions (EFs) are prominently featured in mechanistic models of addiction. However, significant gaps remain in our understanding of EFs in SUDs, including the dimensional relationships of EFs to underlying neural circuits, molecular biomarkers, disorder heterogeneity, and functional ability. Transforming health outcomes for peop…

  • Cigarette, alcohol, and coffee consumption and spontaneous abortion

    Ben Armstrong, B G Armstrong et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1992Cited by: 3References: 11

    We analyzed data from a survey of occupational factors and pregnancy outcome to examine the effects of cigarette, alcohol, and coffee consumption on pregnancy outcome. Clear and statistically significant associations were found between cigarette and alcohol consumption and spontaneous abortion. There was a weaker but statistically significant association with coffee consumption: If the associations were casual, 11% of the spontaneous abortions co…

  • Cigarette, alcohol, and coffee consumption and congenital defects

    Alison D McDonald, Ben Armstrong et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1992References: 8

    We analyzed data from a survey of occupational and other factors and pregnancy outcome to assess the effects of cigarette, alcohol, and coffee consumption. There was no evidence of an association between any congenital defect and smoking. Results for alcohol and coffee consumption were largely negative, but there was a weak association with musculoskeletal defects in babies born to women who drank one or more alcoholic drinks a day

  • Cigarette, alcohol, and coffee consumption and prematurity

    Alison D McDonald, Ben Armstrong et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1992Cited by: 8References: 1

    We analyzed data from a survey of occupational and other factors in pregnancy to assess the effects of cigarette, alcohol, and coffee consumption on pregnancy outcome. The risk of low birth weight for gestational age was found to increase substantially with smoking. Occasional consumers of alcohol had a slightly reduced risk relative to total abstainers. In more frequent drinkers, there was a small increase in risk. Risk increased slightly with c…

  • Faculty Women

    Open AccessIrene C Peden, M E SloanARTICLEIEEE Transactions on Education1975

    This paper addresses the topic of women who are now engineering educators. It examines their progression through the academic ranks, their status, and the outlook for the immediate future, both in terms of their regular academic duties and their prospects for university administration. Strategies for affirmative action in connection with promotion, retention, and tenure are suggested and justified, as are related strategies for motivating some fa…

  • Some Comparisons between Women and Ethnic Minority Engineers

    Open AccessM E Sloan, Irene C PedenARTICLEIEEE Transactions on Education1974

    There are both similarities and differences in the circumstances and problems faced by women and members of ethnic minority groups when considering engineering as a career. This paper focuses on aspects of both, centering primarily on comparisons between the situations of black males and white females as a representative of the two largest minority groups in engineering today. Some references to American Indians and Spanish-speaking Americans are…

  • The Impact of the Cosine Committee on the Undergraduate Electrical Engineering Curriculum

    Open AccessM E SloanARTICLEIEEE Transactions on Education1974

    The COSINE Committee was funded by the National Science Foundation to spearhead the introduction of computer engineering into the electrical engineering curriculum. This paper assesses the impact of the committee. During the early 1960's, electrical engineering departments in the United States lagged behind other engineering departments in the development of computer-oriented courses. The COSINE Committee, formed in 1965, recommended that electri…

  • An Economical Self-Supervised Individually Operated Open Electronics Laboratory

    Open AccessJames A Oswald, M E SloanARTICLEIEEE Transactions on Education1971

    A senior electronics laboratory at Michigan Technological University has operated for more than a year with 100 students each term working individually on an open laboratory basis. The objectives of the laboratory are to teach the theory and practice of experimentation and supplement engineering theory presented in the classroom. Students schedule their laboratory time in two-hour blocks and perform experiments alone without direct supervision. T…
