Our results indicate that screening, along with brief interventions and referrals to treatment, may be particularly important for identifying and providing early intervention for women of reproductive age prior to conception who may be at greater risk for prenatal alcohol and nicotine use. It is important that these conversations are supportive and non-punitive, focused on […]

Analyzing the DNA of natural fiber rope components can be valuable for several reasons
The results of the restriction digest of the grass stain-covered sisal rope indicated that if this were an unknown piece of rope, it would be difficult to determine its identity. Through analysis of restriction bands, three out of five types of rope could be eliminated, resulting in the unknown being either sisal rope with contamination […]
The same age grouping was used for regular alcohol use for comparative purposes
The amplitudes were calculated using the S-transform applied to the recorded data for the delta frequency band extending from 300 to 700 ms post-stimulus. Jones et al. provides a complete description of the experiment and the calculation of the values. The values were log transformed and non-parametric age regression was performed on the variables and the standardized residuals […]
Geographic disparities in the severity of punishment for drug offenses are also stark
Research conducted in 2010 in California found the proportion of arrests for possession of a controlled substance that were charged as felonies varied across California counties from 25 to 100 percent . Even after controlling for case characteristics and criminal history, county of residence was a strong predictor of felony filings following arrest . Many […]
A significant indirect effect is indicated when the CI does not include the value zero
The retrospective nature of this study limits the conclusions that can be determined as the methodology was not able to ascertain any measure of acute versus chronic marijuana use. Urine toxicology screens, such as those used in the ED, detectable levels of THC can be present for up to 4.6 days after the last noted […]
Correlates that are identified as significant will become covariates in the adjusted prevalence analysis
These basic summary statistics will be calculated for continuous variables and binary categorical variables . Continuous variables will be plotted to assess for normality; tests to assess for normality will include kurtosis and skewness. If data is normally distributed, then parametric statistics will be utilized. If data is not normally distributed, then non-parametric statistics will be […]
There was no association between dose or length of CBD usage and ALT levels
The 839 individuals who completed the study came from 43 states, including Alaska and the District of Columbia. Of these, 548 were female and 291 were male. Age ranged from 18 to 75 with the mean – SD of 45.5 + 13.1 years. There was no statistical difference in age between females and males . The percent […]
These combined studies generally support our hypothesized model
Alcohol-addicted non-smokers showed the highest and most widespread differences from controls at the 10-day assessment versus the 3-day and 4-week assessments, whereas the alcohol-addicted smokers had a more consistent pattern of differences from controls across all assessment time points. In the alcohol-addicted smokers, higher GABAA receptor availability was correlated with more craving for alcohol and cigarettes . […]
It is now considered as a distinct clinical entity despite a large variety of aetiologies
Considered from another perspective, the interaction effects suggest that certain temperamental traits are risk factors for substance use when parental monitoring is low, but not when it is high. Either interpretation is consistent with the findings and points to a similar conclusion about how temperament and parenting work together to increase risk for early substance […]
Serving sizes have also been updated to reflect what people currently eat and drink
Liquid solutions were prepared of the target analytes dissolved in methanol with 0.6 μL injected directly into the GC-MS. Pure standards were of ACS Reagent grade and obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. Components and photographs of the wearable sampler are presented . Examples of GPS, temperature and humidity data are shown . Although the GPS is programmed […]
