As a result, a young child treated with amphetamines would not necessarily have an increased risk for abuse of other stimulants by the time he or she reached adolescence – when illicit drugs are more readily found. In contrast, if the onset of treatment were to start in the early teens , drug-seeking behavior would […]

Panel illustrate the estimated event study models for EITCs
Our study of social network effects confirms that adults with SUD and MDD will likely benefit from efforts to restructure their social networks by increasing the number of abstinent/non-using supports and decreasing the number of contacts who use substances regularly. Results also suggested that both regular maintenance of positive social networks and avoiding momentary shifts that increase the density […]
Mediators are third variables that statistically explain an association between a predictor and outcome
These studies also suggest that measures of exceptionally poor performance are perhaps better indicators of impairment than continuous performance scores or dichotomous classifications of samples based on arbitrary cutpoints. Despite evidence that patients with psychiatric comorbidity comprise the majority of patients in clinical settings and have greater neurocognitive deficits than patients with substance dependence only previous studies […]
Our longitudinal analyses utilized latent growth modeling in the structural equation modeling framework
Similar results were found in our sample of veterans with comorbid MDD, where patients receiving group Twelve-Step Facilitation had increased levels of 12-step affiliation during treatment . However, it is not known whether comorbid patients can sustain high levels of 12-step participation after the conclusion of TSF therapy, and if any changes in long-term participation will […]
Measurement of key outcome variables – particularly gestational age – changed over time as well
Analyses of APGAR scores were for the years 1978-2013 because APGAR scores were not reported on birth certificates prior. Cases missing outcome data were typically dropped from analyses. The main exposure variables were time-varying state-level indicators regarding whether states had particular policies in the month and year of conception. These policies were: Mandatory Warning signs, Priority […]
A small literature explores the association of risk preferences with health behaviors
Reproductive health researchers and practitioners have documented that perceptions of the risk of pregnancy and of STIs shape sexual and reproductive behavior in addition to pregnancy intention and access to contraceptive methods. These perceptions and behaviors are partly the result of individual tolerance for risk and uncertainty. Tversky and Kahneman instigated a robust area of […]
All participants were taken through the informed consent process on the same day as their study visit
Specifically, we assessed aspects of the informed consent content that participants found most and least informative, and explored whether this differed by HIV serostatus. We also examined the efficacy of our informed consent process by assessing whether participants thought the information presented was consistent with what they experienced during the study.Participants enrolled in ongoing studies at the […]
Data collection for this validity assessment occurred in November 2009 at the second study visit
If a participant pressed to collect 20 on a trial meant to be a 240 trial, or tried to collect 20 or 40 on a dedicated 280 trial, the participant received the collected amount, thereby reducing the number of punished trials.fMRI data were analyzed using Analysis of Functional Neuroimages software . Single-subject data preprocessing procedures […]
All predictors were log transformed due to non normality and Z-scored prior to regression entry
Modeling abstinent and non-abstinent remission in all family members with life-time AUD allows for the possibility that abstinent and non-abstinent remitted individuals may have characteristics, such as social responsiveness, that contribute to their ability to remit but that are different from those linked to their development of AUDs. The goals of this study were to […]
FA is a commonly used measure for examining white matter spatial organization and integrity
As shown by the representative experiment depicted in Fig. 3, four peaks of enzyme activity were resolved by MonoQ chromatography , which were all effectively inhibited by BTNP . Multiple peaks of anandamide amidohydrolase activity have been already observed after pa tial purification from pig brain microsomes, but the significance of these putative isoforms is still unknown.The […]
