Density of medical marijuana dispensaries and delivery services per city, however, was negatively and strongly associated with greater availability of these products at places where tobacco products are typically sold. The current study examined social factors associated with availability of tobacco products for blunts. Other studies have shown that the tobacco industry aggressively markets specific […]

Mixed effects linear regressions with subject-specific random intercepts and slopes were used
SWM task accuracy and reaction time were calculated for SWM and simple attention conditions. Group differences in neuropsychological test scores and SWM task performance were examined with one-way ANOVAs. We followed up significant ANOVAs with Tukey’s all pairwise t-tests between the three groups. Imaging data were processed and analyzed using the Analysis of Functional NeuroImages package […]
Difficult to determine the degree of clinical relevance and impact in adolescent treatment response
These areas are particularly important for adolescents’ processing of social information . The greater activation of these regions during the neurodevelopmental period of adolescence may be the result of substantive neurodevelopmental changes . These changes peak during adolescence, resulting in a relatively greater release of DA during this time frame . Practically, this means that risk […]
The adjusted ORs represent the odds of each category with all else in the model being equal
These medical diseases are frequently considered chronic medical conditions, and are included in either the validated Katz chronic disease comorbidity questionnaire 15 or the Hierarchical Condition Category system and obstructive sleep apnea, which is recognized as one of the most prevalent chronic respiratory disorders and therefore included in our analysis. Medical multi-morbidity is defined in […]
Research encompassing broader definitions of sexual risk behavior would be informative
Analyses proceeded in three stages. First, at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up, the percent of participants at risk, and the identified preaction stage for those at risk, were determined for each HRB. Second, LCA was employed to discern the common patterns of HRBs at each time point. Third, LTA was used to […]
The criminalization of cocaine has greatly contributed to our country’s vast prison population
They do, however, cast further doubt on the strength of empirical support for Miron’s intuitively plausible theory. Figure 10 reveals why the added data from the 1990s onward weakens the estimated relationship between prohibition enforcement expenditures and homicide: federal per capita drug prohibition spending has continued to rise despite a steady fall in the homicide […]
The price of keeping hundreds of thousands of drug offenders behind bars is high and rising
Attorneys for prosecution, whereas for 97.5 percent, drug trafficking was the most serious offense .In terms of drugs involved for defendants actually convicted of federal drug offenses, 30.6 percent involved marijuana, 22.4 percent involved crack cocaine, 21.5 percent involved cocaine powder, 12.5 percent involved methamphetamine, 7.8 percent involved opiates, 0.5 percent involved hallucinogens, and 4.8 […]
Solely individual-based explanations of the causes of public health concerns are insufficient
Again we find that individuals living in states that have statutorily removed jail sentences as penalties for possession of up to an ounce of marijuana are statistically less likely to report jail as the maximum penalty and more likely to report fines as the maximum penalty. However, again we see that the actual difference in […]
Patients with co-occurring behavioral and medical conditions represent such a population
Whilst the aim of our study was to examine the relationship between baseline features and subsequent outcome , it is important to note that there are limitations with this approach. First, we did not account psychosocial stressors and other confounding factors/events that may have occurred in the time between baseline and follow-up. Indeed, it is possible […]
ALC and PSU groups were abstinent from alcohol and/or psychostimulants for about one month
Future work could potentially benefit by further extending the present work to other health outcome variables such as ART medication adherence and HIV symptoms among persons with HIV/AIDS. It also may be advisable to explore how distress tolerance and emotion dysregulation relate to a broader array of symptoms and disorders. Finally, the present study was a […]
