Everyday discrimination in individuals seeking treatment/receiving support for substance use and caregivers
Courtesy stigma is commonly reported in caregivers to those who seek treatment for substance use, which may have negative consequences. A greater focus on those with caregiver responsibilities may positively benefit these individuals and the care they provide
The menstrual cycle, hormonal contraception and alcohol use across a single cycle
Objective Existing literature suggests an association between menstrual cycle and alcohol use. The present study investigated the relationship between menstrual cycle phases and hormonal contraception (naturally cycling [NC] and hormonal contraceptive [HC]) and alcohol use, while considering potentially influencing variables using multiple assessments over one cycle. Methods 50 females (32 NC and 18 HC) completed a series of online questionnaires…
Living with Drug Use and Addiction during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Methods: We analyzed 100 online forum (Reddit) posts discussing personal experiences of people who use drugs (PWUD) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Results: Seven themes were identified from the data: (i) Access to Illicit Drugs, (ii) Access and Adherence to Prescripti…

Participants read text describing the impact of the global cocaine market on others and completed a range of measures including assessments of substance use, M…

Participants read one of eight randomly presented vignettes that described a fictional case history of substan…
Less than human: Dehumanisation of people who use heroin
Purpose Stigma reduction is an important public health challenge because of the large morbidity and mortality associated with some forms of substance use. Extreme stigma can lead to dehumanisation of target groups, who are ascribed with lesser humanity. The authors examined whether there was blatant and subtle dehumanisation of people who use heroin, and if these were associated with levels of support for non-discriminatory drug policy. Design/me…

Changes in millennial adolescent mental health and health-related behaviours over 10 years: A population cohort comparison study

This paper aimed to investigate recent trends in mental ill health and health-related behaviours in two cohorts of UK adolescents in 2005 and 2015. METHODS: Prevalences in mental health (depressive symptoms, self-harm, anti-social behaviours, parent-reported difficulties) and health-related behaviours (substance use, weight, weigh…
Is screen time associated with anxiety or depression in young people? Results from a UK birth cohort
We found associations between increased screen time, particularly computer use, and a small increased risk of anxiety and depression. Time spent alone was found to attenuate some associations, and further research should explore this
