Using the cross-sectional secondary dataset from the 2022 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which includes 26,942 Korean adolescents, latent class analysis categorizes weight control methods into three groups: “Class 1: Medication-Centered Weight Control Group,” “Class 2: Diet-Centered Group,” and “Class 3: Holistic Approach to Diet and Exercise Group.” The results indicate that substance use and mental health challenges both increase the risk of medication-centered or diet-centered weight control practices in male adolescents.

Accordingly, this study examined the demographic, mental health, and substance use correlates of medicinal hallucinogen use relative to no hallucinogen use and to exclusively recreational hallucinogen use. Adults reporting no hallucinogen use (<i>n</i> = 4837), medicinal hallucinogen use (<i>n</i> = 110), and exclusively recreational hallucinogen use (<i>n</i> = 240) were recruited from across Canada via Prolific and from six Canadian universities. Participants completed an online questionnaire assessing demographic characteristics, mental health, hallucinogen use, and other substance use. Logistic regression analyses showed that greater depression severity; more frequent use of alcohol, cannabis, and nicotine; and using several illegal and prescription drugs were associated with an increased likelihood of medicinal hallucinogen use relative to no hallucinogen use. Greater depression severity was also associated with an increased likelihood of medicinal hallucinogen use relative to exclusively recreational hallucinogen use. Further, participants who used hallucinogens for medicinal reasons reported more frequent hallucinogen use relative to those who used hallucinogens for exclusively recreational reasons. Results suggest that poorer mental health and greater use of other substances differentiate people who use hallucinogens for medicinal reasons from people who do not use hallucinogens or who use hallucinogens for exclusively recreational reasons. Further, medicinal hallucinogen use, relative to exclusively recreational hallucinogen use, is associated with using hallucinogens more frequently.

This study investigates the moderating effect of physical activity (PA) on the relationship between the frequency of past 90-day cannabis use (CU) and psychological distress (PD) among college students, using data from the American College Health Association’s National College Health Assessment III surveys (2019–2023). We explored the following research questions: (1) Does PA moderate the relationship between CU and PD? (2) How do different levels of PA influence PD and CU? The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6) measured PD, and CU was categorized as never, once-monthly, and weekly-daily. Three PA measures (hours of moderate and vigorous activity, and days of strength training) were used in a Two-Step Cluster analysis to group participants by PA level. The study included 157,880 students from 127 universities, predominantly aged 18–29, biologically female, and non-Hispanic white. CU frequency was linked to increased PD, but higher PA levels were associated with lower PD. The interaction between PA and CU was significant, indicating PA moderates CU’s impact on PD. The study’s findings suggest that PA may serve as a protective factor against PD associated with CU. Public health strategies could incorporate PA as a harms reduction approach for cannabis users, particularly targeting college students who may be at high risk for PD.

We conducted a scoping review of peer-reviewed literature and governmental reports published between January 2000 and August 2024 on patterns of access to, and acceptability and utilization of, overdose prevention and opioid use management resources among racial/ethnic minorities in the US. Searches were conducted on Cochrane, PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar, with us examining studies on the uptake of MOUD, such as buprenorphine and methadone, syringe services programs (SSPs), safe consumption sites, and harm reduction resources like naloxone (used to reverse overdoses) and fentanyl test strips (used to test for the presence of fentanyl in drug supplies). Additionally, we sought to identify and describe existing interventions for opioid use prevention and management that have expressly incorporated cultural adaptations related to racial/ethnic minorities’ specific needs and preferences in an effort to improve participants' sense of salience and acceptability and thus enhance utilization. We further endeavored to leverage this scoping review towards the development of research and intervention guidelines contoured to improve future scholarship and programming with these populations. The existing evidence suggests that racial/ethnic minorities in the US, specifically Black individuals, have diminished access to and/or utilization of preventive and management resources and amenities such as buprenorphine and naloxone, owing to structural deficits, provider bias, socioeconomic obstacles, geographic barriers, and communal stigma and distrust. Black individuals, relative to White individuals, also appear less likely to report using SSPs to obtain syringes and related resources, but across racial groups, those who used SSPs were more likely to be trained in, possess, and/or use naloxone.
