Identifying substances that are more commonly used by students than non-students can reveal specific risks in the college environment.Objectives: To examine associations between college enrollment and prevalence and trends of use of a comprehensive list of substances.Methods: The sample included 2015-2019 participants in the National Survey on Drug Use and Health who were aged 18 to 22 and who were full-time enrolled or not enrolled in college. Prevalence of substance use was calculated for four subgroups: college males (n = 6,707), college females (n = 8,284), non-college males (n = 10,019), and non-college females (n = 9,266). Multivariate logistic regression was used to model the relationships between enrollment and substance use. Temporal trends in substance use prevalence were calculated for each subgroup.Results: College enrollment was associated with prescription stimulant misuse (aOR 1.50, 95% CI: 1.35-1.67), alcohol use (aOR 1.36, 95% CI: 1.27-1.47), and binge drinking (aOR 1.22, 95% CI: 1.15-1.30). From 2015 to 2019, the only substance whose use significantly increased among any subgroup was cannabis. The increase occurred among females only (+4.7% in college females and +5.6% in non-college females; both p < .01).Conclusions: College enrollment is most strongly associated with prescription stimulant misuse, suggesting that colleges should consider explicitly including stimulant misuse prevention in their health promotion strategies. The increasing use of cannabis among females warrants clinicians' attention to routine screening for use and provision of information about the mental health impacts of cannabis.","PeriodicalId":48957,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142677589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a non-parametric negative control procedure, we estimated each of 10,006 Reddit communities' risk of progression from lower- to higher-risk alcohol-related communities and applied a random forest model to predict progression among individual Reddit members. Eligible Reddit members had posted on Reddit for two or more years before their first post in a lower-risk alcohol-related community and for three or more years after that (N = 4,160).Results: Our methodology identified 42 alcohol-related communities, four of which were suggestive of problem drinking. Five communities were significantly associated with progression. Random forests model's risk scores for individual members correlated with their progression to higher-risk communities at 0.30; the model predicted progression of individual Reddit members with a 0.92 area under the curve.Conclusions: Posting in communities dedicated to other substance use, depression, and occupation in the food service industry was associated with posting activity suggestive of problem drinking 3 years later.

Questions included new or increased substance use, substance use in the past 30 days to cope, insomnia, mental health, and willingness to seek help.Results: Nearly 20% of parents and unpaid caregivers of adults each reported new or increased use of substances to cope with stress or emotions; 65.4% of parent-caregivers endorsed this response. Compared to non-caregivers, all caregiver groups had higher odds of new or increased use of substances, with parent-caregivers showing the largest effect size (aOR: 7.19 (5.87-8.83), p < .001).

The higher odds of substance use underscores the importance of efforts to screen for sleep disturbances and adverse mental health symptoms, particularly among parent-caregivers.

Few studies report risk factors predisposing pregnant and postpartum patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) to overdose.Objective: This scoping review aims to describe the risk factors predisposing pregnant and postpartum patients with OUD to overdose.Method: Included studies identified pregnant and/or postpartum patients with OUD and differentiated between those who experienced overdose and those who did not. Of the 1060 articles, 8 met the criteria, examining 90,860 pregnant and postpartum patients with OUD.Results: Consistent use of medications for OUD (MOUD) during pregnancy and the postpartum period was the most frequently identified factor reducing overdose risk. Critical times of heightened overdose risk include the first trimester and the 7-12-month postpartum period. Pregnancy complications, such as stillbirth, severe maternal morbidity, preterm birth, and cesarean delivery, also increase risk. Opioid overdose is associated with being houseless, incarcerated, young, unmarried, publicly insured, not graduating high school, co-occurring substance use disorders, and inadequate prenatal care. Legislative changes, such as not classifying OUD in pregnancy as \"child abuse\" and increasing Medicaid reimbursement for Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment programs, are crucial to reducing risk. The impact of race and the influence of co-occurring psychiatric disorders was inconsistently reported.Conclusion: This scoping review identifies significant risk factors for opioid overdose in pregnant and postpartum patients. Improving access through enhanced Medicaid reimbursement, non-punitive reporting policies, and non-stigmatized care are keys to reducing overdose.","PeriodicalId":48957,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142478558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As leptin levels are affected by body mass index (BMI), BMI-adjusted leptin (leptin/BMI ratio) was also examined.

The opioid prescribing proportion was calculated as the number of opioid claims divided by the total number of overall drug claims. The LAO prescribing proportion was calculated as number of LAO claims divided by total opioid claims.Results: Despite a general decrease nationwide, Medicaid opioid prescribing proportions increased in Iowa, Montana, and Virginia. There was an increasing trend in the national-level Medicaid LAO prescribing proportion from 2017 to 2021, with a 14.1% point increase (p for the annual percent change [APC]<0.05).

Recovery residence staff also strengthened participants' community of MAR-supportive peers by hosting or connecting residents to Medication-Assisted Recovery Anonymous meetings.

It is important to understand what factors may increase substances use or increased infection transmission risk (IITR) sexual behaviors among rural LGBTQ+ individuals.Objective: This study investigates substance use and sexual behaviors associated with increased infection transmission risk among rural LGBTQ+ individuals, and how these are associated with relationship type (friends or romantic partners) and travel distance.Methods: Participants (18 years+, identify as LGBTQ+, and provided a $25 gift card) were recruited from Illinois (25 counties), in 2021. Data included demographics, sexual and drug use behaviors, and assessed how these behaviors varied by relationship type and distance traveled (e.g. when meeting friends out-of-state).Results: The 398 participants were 79.1% White and 12.3% Black.
