Summary: This study investigates the community and recovery outcomes of adults with opioid use disorder (OUD) and criminal-legal involvement. The findings indicate that 47% of individuals with OUD also have an underlying mental health disorder. Co-occurring OUD and mental health disorders are associated with higher rates of recidivism during early treatment stages. Group and individual therapy services are linked to lower odds of recidivism, and co-occurring disorders moderate the relationship between service utilization and psychiatric recovery.

Summary: In rural areas, smoking rates are high with accompanying depressive symptoms, risky alcohol use, and weight concerns. A tailored smoking cessation intervention addressing these issues can enhance short-term quitting but does not significantly improve long-term quitting.

Summary: In this retrospective analysis, the dosing frequency of sublingual buprenorphine-naloxone was studied to evaluate its impact on the effectiveness of therapy for opioid use disorder. The study found no significant differences in treatment retention rates, medication adherence, adherence to treatment program, and hospital encounters between once daily dosing and split daily dosing groups.

Summary: This study compared the treatment retention and urine drug tests between patients who initiated extended-release buprenorphine (XR-BUP) and those who did not in an addiction medicine clinic. The findings showed that XR-BUP improved treatment retention and resulted in a higher proportion of negative urine drug tests.

Summary: This study aimed to identify and structure comprehensive overviews of threat and soothing influences that may impact physical symptoms in people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMD) and central sensitivity syndromes (CSS). The results provided a comprehensive taxonomy of threats and soothers in people with RMD or CSS, which can be used in experimental research and clinical practice.

Summary: This study examines how positive sexual experiences influence subjective evaluations of alcohol-involved sexual experiences over time. The results show that women who have positive sexual experiences tend to maintain positive evaluations of alcohol-intensified sex, while men's evaluations become less positive over time. This suggests that placing excessive emphasis on alcohol in sexual contexts may increase the risk of sexual perpetration and victimization among college students.

Summary: Previous research shows that smoking withdrawal has a negative impact on sensorimotor filtering, especially in individuals with psychopathology. This study investigates whether changes in prepulse inhibition (PPI) induced by smoking withdrawal are related to maintenance of smoking abstinence in trauma-exposed individuals with and without PTSD. The results suggest that decreases in PPI during acute smoking cessation are associated with relapse back to smoking among trauma-exposed individuals.

Summary: This study confirmed the reliability and factor structure of the Sensory E-cigarette Expectancies Scale (SEES) in adolescents. The SEES demonstrated excellent internal reliability. Adolescents who reported using nicotine e-cigarettes, past-month vaping, daily vaping, and vaping on 21+ days in the past month scored higher on each subscale of the SEES. Expecting pleasurable physical sensations was associated with total flavors used, past-month vaping frequency, and e-cigarette dependence. Enjoyment of taste and smell was positively associated with total flavors used and e-cigarette dependence. Enjoyment of vapor clouds was positively associated with total flavors used and past-month vaping frequency.

Summary: This study investigated the extent and longitudinal determinants of post-traumatic growth (PTG) in cancer survivors. The findings showed that the most PTG occurred in the subdimension of appreciation of life, while spiritual change was the least pronounced domain. Fatigue, pain, and emotional distress were predictors of long-term PTG.

Summary: This systematic review examined the effectiveness of various smoking cessation interventions for pregnant women. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as financial incentives, counseling, and long-term nicotine replacement therapy, were found to be effective. However, short-term nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion, digital interventions, feedback, social support, and exercise did not show significant effectiveness. Pregnant women of low socioeconomic status may benefit less from smoking cessation interventions.

Summary: This study examined the patterns of concurrent use and co-administration of tobacco and cannabis among young adult college students in Texas from 2016 to 2019. Four latent classes were identified, and most students remained in the same class over the course of the study. The findings suggest the need for prevention and cessation programs that address the constellation of behaviors related to cannabis and tobacco co-use.

Summary: This study evaluated the accuracy of the Cannabis Use Disorders Identification Test Revised (CUDIT-R) in distinguishing between young adults with and without cannabis use disorder (CUD) and examined the individual item properties of the CUDIT-R. The results showed that the CUDIT-R had good accuracy in distinguishing between young adults with and without CUD and may be useful in screening for CUD in this high-risk population. Further research considering individual item properties is needed to refine the CUDIT-R for use among young adults.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the association between habitual physical activity and coping effectiveness in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), and to determine the extent to which self-efficacy acts as a mediator in this relationship. The findings indicated a positive correlation between engagement in physical activity and self-efficacy among participants with high and medium disability levels. Moreover, physical activity was associated with improved psychosocial functioning in people with high levels of disability caused by MS.

Summary: This study examines the development of dependence among e-cigarette users and compares the differences between smokers and non-smokers. The results show that many e-cigarette users develop symptoms of dependence within two to five years since starting vaping. Non-smokers may be at higher risk of becoming e-cigarette dependent, as they reached dependence milestones faster than smokers.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between problematic smartphone use and negative outcomes, including anxiety, insomnia, and perceived stress, through the lens of selfdetermination theory. The results suggest that autonomous academic motivation is negatively associated with problematic smartphone use and negative student mental health outcomes, while controlled academic motivation and amotivation are positively associated with them.

Summary: This study suggests that childhood psychological maltreatment may pose a broad risk for various forms of psychopathology, and the harms associated with it are not specific to particular symptom domains. Therefore, trans-diagnostic interventions may be the most effective approach for addressing the mental health impacts of psychological maltreatment.
