Changes in extreme climate event frequencies have markedly different effects on watershed nitrogen exports than do changes in mean temperature and precipitation
Aquatic reactive nitrogen threatens human health and riverine and coastal ecosystems, yet its behavior under climate extremes remains poorly understood. Here we use a frequently cited SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) model to systematically assess the influence of climate extreme frequencies, defined by type intensity, duration, seasonality and co-occurrence of precipitation and temperature events, on the delivery…
Examining predictors of substance use and treatment adequacy among formerly incarcerated individuals with a history of opioid and cocaine use
BACKGROUND: Over 600,000 individuals are released from correctional institutions annually in the United States. Substance use disorders (SUDs) are highly prevalent in this population, and only a small proportion receive adequate treatment during incarceration. Post-incarceration, substance use increases considerably, and the risk of drug overdose is higher among formerly incarcerated individuals than among their counterparts in the general popula…
Characteristics of Adolescents with and without a Family History of Substance Use Disorder from a Minority Cohort
Family history (FH+) of substance use disorder (SUD) is an established risk factor for offspring SUD. The extent to which offspring psychological traits or the family environment, each of which may be relevant to familial transmission of SUD risk, vary by FH+ in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations is less clear. We compared the family/social environmental and psychological characteristics of 73 FH+ and 69 FH- youth ages 12-16, from a stud…
The Long-Term Physical–Psychiatric Comorbidities Related to Childhood Exposure to 9/11 Trauma
Extensive research has explored the enduring effects of childhood trauma on health, revealing its potential to produce chronic health problems. Despite findings that adults exposed to 9/11 suffer from enduring concurrent psychiatric and physical illnesses, investigations into the long-term physical-psychiatric comorbidities experienced by children and adolescents affected by the 9/11 trauma remain limited. In our study, we examined individuals di…
Racial, Ethnic, and Socioeconomic Disparities in Covid-19 Pandemic Worries
Religiosity, Mental Health and Substance Use among Black and Hispanic Adults during the First Six Months of the Covid-19 Pandemic in New York City
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between personal religiosity, mental health, and substance use outcomes among Black and Hispanic adults during the first six months of the COVID-19 outbreak in New York City (NYC). Phone interviews were conducted with 441 adults to obtain information on all variables. Participants self-reported race/ethnicity as Black/African American ( n = 108) or Hispanic ( n = 333). Logistic regressi…
Mental Health of High-Risk Urban Youth
Urgent engagement in 9/11 pregnant widows and their infants
The potential effects of maternal trauma on mother–infant interaction remain insufficiently studied empirically. This study examined the effects of the September 11, 2001, trauma on mother–infant interaction in mothers who were pregnant and widowed on 9/11, and their infants aged 4–6 months. Split‐screen videotaped interaction was coded on a one‐second basis for infant gaze, facial affect, and vocal affect; and mother gaze, facial affect, and tou…

Prevalence of pathological internet use among adolescents in E urope
AIMS: To investigate the prevalence of pathological internet use (PIU) and maladaptive internet use (MIU) among adolescents in 11 European countries in relation to demographic, social factors and internet accessibility. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. SETTING: The 7th Framework European Union (EU) funded project, Saving and Empowering Young Lives in Europe (SEYLE), is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating interventions for risk behaviour…
Exposure to the World Trade Center Attack and the Use of Cigarettes and Alcohol Among New York City Public High-School Students
We examined exposure to the World Trade Center attack and changes in cigarette smoking and drinking among 2731 New York City public high-school students evaluated 6 months after the attack. Increased drinking was associated with direct exposure to the World Trade Center attack (P
Exposure to Trauma and Separation Anxiety in Children After the WTC attack
The impact of exposure to the World Trade Center attack on children presenting separation anxiety disorder (SAD) 6 months after the attack was studied in a representative sample of New York City public school students (N = 8,236). Probable SAD occurred in 12.3% of the sample and was more frequent in girls, young children, and children who previously had been exposed to traumatic situations. Probable SAD was highly comorbid with probable posttraum…
