Multilevel regression models were used to examine change over time for SSIS

Participants’ responses to the ASSIST during the SBIRT intervention procedure were not used to determine this outcome.Baseline demographic characteristics and SSIS were summarized with descriptive statistics.Major advantages of multilevel regression over traditional repeated measures analysis include the fact that cases are not dropped due to missing observations on the dependent variable at any assessment, numeric […]

This appears likely due to the volatility of the aerosol from the cannabis vaping pen

Side stream smoke, which is emitted directly from the source between puffs and not exhaled by the smoker, has been shown to produce greater emissions than mainstream smoke . Based on observations of the participant, the inhalation time of the puff was about 2 s, and the exhalation time was ~2–4 s, making the total puff […]

Prevalence findings from a single location may not generalize to other regions

The levels of substance use in our results, similar to those found in a primary care sample with depression and an emergency services sample , indicate that a substantial number of patients were at risk. The results suggest that providers in psychiatric settings should conduct screening and offer treatment as needed. For example, brief motivational interventions could […]

District attorneys rarely prosecute Mexican nationals for Cannabis related crimes on public lands

According to personal accounts, High Sierra volunteers dedicate their time because they feel a sense of land stewardship and an obligation to deter growers from returning to cultivated areas. Without the regular coordination of cleanup efforts by non-profit organizations such as the High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew, site reclamation would be much less feasible. Volunteer […]

Their goal was to reduce Cannabis cultivation in areas that produced the largest amounts of marijuana such as California

Marijuana production trends began to shift from people’s personal property onto public lands around the early 1980s. At that time, California residents began to encroach on the National Parks and successfully grow and harvest marijuana crops.The local Sheriffs could not deter this activity as it began because their time was limited by other casework, their […]

Differences between investigators were discussed until consensus was reached

A third and final coding guide was applied to the full list of apps. Of note, the coding guide was clarified so that apps referencing heat-not-burn were coded as vaping-related. While tobacco heat-not-burn devices are considered distinct from vaping devices, heat-not-burn of cannabis flower is often considered vaping, and neither involves combustion. Additionally, the group […]

Remission also relates in complex ways to a person’s socioeconomic status and social support systems

Key study information extracted included study objective, study design, study location, eligibility criteria, the instrument by which participants were screened, presence of drug use treatment, if any, referral to specialized drug use treatment, if any, and main outcomes relevant to this study’s objective. Extensive heterogeneity of the final selected studies precluded a meta-analysis. All study […]

This can be attributed to the position of inlet/exit location with respect to the tray orientation

Since OU quantifies the deviation of average velocity of each tray from the designed velocity, a higher OU value indicates that the crops will have better and more uniform photosynthesis. It can be observed from Fig. 5 that the maximum OU obtained for all conditions is case BC at a flow rate of 0.3 kg s−1. […]

The United States stands as the world’s largest consumer of cocaine

Coca plantations in the 20th century accounted for approximately 7 million hectares of deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon. Trends going into the 21st century reveal that this destruction is still rampant; from 2001-2013 over 290,000 hectares of forest were lost due to processes of cocaine manufacturing. A specific concern of this destruction is that much […]

The dispensary category was based on self-reporting by dispensary staff in call verification

If the dispensary had any online activity within the past month , it would be considered active1 . After removing inactive businesses, businesses not selling marijuana, and businesses without storefronts during the verification procedure, the 2,121 unique records were reduced to 826 businesses . These 826 dispensaries constituted the call-verified, combined database of active brick-and-mortar […]
