Among participants reporting any social media use, multivariable logistic regressions examined associations of social media use variables and rural-urban residence with health outcomes. Multiple group regressions examined whether associations varied for rural- versus urban-residing participants.Results: The sample (N = 493; Mage = 21.68 [SD = 2.15]) was 35.7% rural-residing, 72.1% female sex, 47.1% gender-minoritized, and 41.6% racially and/or ethnically minoritized. Most participants (61.9%) had moderate-to-severe depressive and/or anxiety symptoms; 39.8% reported current tobacco use (49.7% cannabis, 74.6% alcohol). Rural-urban residence moderated associations between social media use and substance use. Among urban participants only, social media use frequency was associated with tobacco and alcohol use. Among rural participants, community connectedness was associated with lower odds of mental health symptoms, tobacco use, and cannabis use and social media-based social support was associated with lower odds of cannabis use.Discussion and conclusions: Urban SMYAs may experience negative effects of social media use, including increased risk of substance use. Rural SMYAs may benefit from supportive connection from SMYA peers on social media, reducing their substance use risk.Scientific significance: Prior research has identified benefits (e.g., social support) and harms (e.g., substance use) of social media use. This study found that associations of social media use with substance use among SMYAs differed by urbanicity.","PeriodicalId":7762,"journal":{"name":"American Journal on Addictions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145136168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sensory-based interventions (SBIs), commonly used for stress reduction and self-regulation, show potential for individuals who consume alcohol, as stress is a key contributing factor. This review aimed to examine the types of sensory stimulation, their contexts, and outcomes.Methods: Following the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (Ref. 29) and the work of Arksey and O'Malley (Ref. 28), the systematic identification of studies published between 2013 and 2023 was carried out through searches of PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Thai Journals Online.Results: Out of 240 records screened, 29 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most of the articles were on studies of individuals with alcohol use disorders (89.65%), while only 10.35% involved people who consumed alcohol without a diagnosed disorder. Multisensory stimuli were the most typical type of sensory stimulation, particularly involving movement and vestibular types. Primarily, interventions were provided in hospitals. SBIs were associated with reduced alcohol cravings, consumption, and alcohol-related consequences, along with decreased anxiety and stress. However, follow-up data, real-world applicability, and attention to at-risk populations remain limited.Discussion and conclusions: SBIs demonstrate potential in psychological and behavioral outcomes in individuals with AUDs, particularly emotional regulation and craving reduction. Integrating sensory modalities with behavioral strategies enhances therapeutic potential. Nonetheless, future research is needed to address gaps in long-term follow-up, real-world implementation, and prevention among at-risk populations.Scientific significance: This review is the first to synthesize evidence on SBIs for alcohol consumption, identifying key gaps to inform future public health research and intervention design.","PeriodicalId":7762,"journal":{"name":"American Journal on Addictions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145068845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the unique stressors faced by sexual minority youth-particularly bisexual individuals-that increase their risk for substance use, most studies investigate disparities among older adolescents and adults. Using recent national data, this study aims to fill this gap and inform targeted prevention and intervention efforts for sexual minority youth.Methods: We leveraged data from the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health from youth aged 12-17 (N = 10,361). Using weighted logistic regression models, we examined the separate relationships between sexual orientation and past-year substance use (i.e., tobacco, marijuana, and alcohol) stratified by age and sex assigned at birth.Results: Among adolescents, 4.73% reported tobacco use, 11.2% reported marijuana use, and 17.2% reported alcohol use. Logistic regression models indicated that, compared to heterosexual youth, bisexual youth had higher odds of using tobacco (OR = 2.00, 95% CI = 1.37-2.90), marijuana (OR = 1.85, 95% CI = 1.43-2.40), and alcohol (OR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.02-1.69), while gay/lesbian youth had lower odds of tobacco use (OR = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.24-0.94), but higher odds of alcohol (OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.06-2.44). Notable differences were observed across sex and age.Conclusions and scientific significance: Findings from the current study highlight significant disparities in substance use among youth based on sexual orientation, particularly among bisexual adolescents. We recommend that prevention and intervention efforts incorporate age-specific and gender-sensitive approaches to address the unique stressors faced by sexual minority youth.","PeriodicalId":7762,"journal":{"name":"American Journal on Addictions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145063409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depression (42%), anxiety disorders (19.3%), sleep disorders (21.3%), and posttraumatic stress disorder (13%) were most frequent. The rates for patients in psychiatric or psychological/psychotherapeutic treatment at baseline were rather low (8% resp. 8-12%) and declined over time (3.6% resp. 5.4%-6.8% after 6 years).Conclusions and scientific significance: Data from this long-term study indicate an overall high persisting prevalence of mental health disorders in patients in OAT and a rather low number of patients in psychiatric/psychological treatment.
