Patients' beliefs towards contingency management
Perceptions of cannabis health information labels among people who use cannabis in the U.S. and Canada
Global, regional, and country‐level estimates of hepatitis C infection among people who have recently injected drugs
Public health implications of legalising the production and sale of cannabis for medicinal and recreational use
The contribution of cannabis use to variation in the incidence of psychotic disorder across Europe (EU-GEI)
BACKGROUND: Cannabis use is associated with increased risk of later psychotic disorder but whether it affects incidence of the disorder remains unclear. We aimed to identify patterns of cannabis use with the strongest effect on odds of psychotic disorder across Europe and explore whether differences in such patterns contribute to variations in the incidence rates of psychotic disorder. METHODS: -tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the different types o…
A new approach to formulating and appraising drug policy
The MCDA process allowed the participants to deconstruct complex drug policy issues into a set of simpler judgements that led to consensus about the results
The increasing global health priority of substance use in young people
Why young people's substance use matters for global health
Prevention, early intervention, harm reduction, and treatment of substance use in young people
No Smoke without Tobacco
Cannabis and tobacco are common drugs of abuse worldwide and are often used in combination through a variety of routes of administration. Here we aimed to provide an overview of how cannabis and tobacco routes varied across countries and assess the impact of tobacco based routes of administration on motivation to use less cannabis, and less tobacco, in separate models. A cross-sectional online survey (Global Drugs Survey 2014) was completed by 33…
Exploring evidence for a prospective relationship between common mental disorder and meeting residential mobility preferences
The co‐occurring use and misuse of cannabis and tobacco
Aims Cannabis and tobacco use and misuse frequently co‐occur. This review examines the epidemiological evidence supporting the life‐time co‐occurrence of cannabis and tobacco use and outlines the mechanisms that link these drugs to each other. Mechanisms include (i) shared genetic factors; (ii) shared environmental influences, including (iii) route of administration (via smoking), (iv) co‐administration and (v) models of co‐use. We also discuss r…
How common is comorbidity and why does it occur
Comorbidity is most generally defined as the co-occurrence of two or more mental health problems. Comorbidity between drug and other psychological disorders has emerged as a major clinical, public health and research issue over the past few decades. The reasons for comorbidity are complex. Furthermore, comorbidity is often associated with poor treatment outcome, severe illness course, and high service utilisation. This presents a significant chal…
Cannabis use and mental health in young people
Objective: To determine whether cannabis use in adolescence predisposes to higher rates of depression and anxiety in young adulthood. Design: Seven wave cohort study over six years. Setting: 44 schools in the Australian state of Victoria. Participants: A statewide secondary school sample of 1601 students aged 14-15 followed for seven years. Main outcome measure: Interview measure of depression and anxiety (revised clinical interview schedule) at …
The genetics of tobacco use
Research on the genetics of smoking has increased our understanding of nicotine dependence, and it is likely to illuminate the mechanisms by which cigarette smoking adversely effects the health of smokers. Given recent advances in molecular biology, including the completion of the draft sequence of the human genome, interest has now turned to identifying gene markers that predict a heightened risk of using tobacco and developing nicotine dependen…
The effects of adolescent cannabis use on educational attainment
This paper reviews research examining the link between cannabis use and educational attainment among youth. Cross‐sectional studies have revealed significant associations between cannabis use and a range of measures of educational performance including lower grade point average, less satisfaction with school, negative attitudes to school, increased rates of school absenteeism and poor school performance. However, results of cross‐sectional studie…

A longitudinal study of early childhood education and subsequent academic achievement
The relationships between duration of attendance at early childhood education facilities and measures of intelligence, reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, and school ability up to the age of 13 years were studied in a birth cohort of New Zealand children. Before adjustment for confounding factors, children who had attended early education facilities for more than two years scored from .33 to .80 SDs higher on tests of cognitive ability…
Stereotypes an d Intergroup Attributions in New Zealand
This study extends Hewstone and Ward's (1985) work on ethnocentrism and examines intergroup stereotypes and attributions in Maori and Pakeha adolescents in New Zealand. A group of 175 secondary school students participated in the two part study. In' the first session subjects evaluated Maori or Pakeha stimulus persons on a series of 16 descriptor traits. In the second session subjects generated causal attributions for the positive and negative be…
