Summary: Sleep is important, but staying up late has become a problem, especially among university students. Previous studies have found a connection between sleep procrastination, sleep biorhythms, and problematic smartphone use (PSU). This two-wave study explored the reciprocal relationship between PSU and sleep procrastination, while also considering the moderating role of sleep biorhythms. The results revealed a reciprocal relationship between PSU and sleep procrastination, with sleep biorhythms moderating this relationship.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the treatment effect of therapeutic interventions for gaming disorder. The results suggest that there may be an overall effect of these interventions, but confidence in the findings is limited due to small-study effects, publication bias, a limited number of studies, and a lack of standardization. More high-quality studies are needed to support reliable meta-analytic estimates.

Summary: This study examined the effectiveness of self-regulation strategies in reducing harms associated with in-play sports betting. The results showed that setting monetary limits was effective in reducing financial, interpersonal, and health harms. However, setting time limits was found to increase spending and overall harms. These findings support the applicability of select self-regulation strategies from traditional forms of gambling to in-play betting, and highlight the need for further research on responsible gambling strategies.

Summary: This study examined the associations between empirically-generated body mass index (BMI) trajectories and the risk of current use of combustible cigarettes and e-cigarettes among adolescents. The findings showed that overweight and obese adolescents were more likely to use combustible cigarettes and e-cigarettes compared to those with normal weight trajectories. Additionally, adolescents with fluctuating BMI trajectories were associated with higher weight control beliefs. These results highlight the importance of considering weight trajectories and weight control beliefs in understanding tobacco product use among adolescents.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the associations between trajectories of prescription drug misuse (PDM) problems and college students' mental health and subjective happiness. The findings indicated that PDM problems were related to depressive symptoms, disinhibition, callousness/aggression, and lower levels of subjective happiness. However, these associations were no longer statistically significant when controlling for alcohol and other drug problems.

Summary: People with disabilities have a higher prevalence of smoking, but there is limited knowledge about cessation interventions tailored for them. This study conducted a systematic review and found two promising interventions using mindfulness-based procedures in adults with mild intellectual disability. However, the interventions did not address the unique needs of people with disabilities.

Summary: This study finds that social media health communication has both direct and indirect effects on public attitudes and behaviors towards e-cigarettes, with the pathways of influence being influenced by increased information on social media and public health events. Stricter regulation of e-cigarette advertisements on social media and anti-e-cigarette education are called for to curb e-cigarette use.

Summary: This study examined the prevalence and determinants of prescription opioid misuse among Black American adults, compared to non-Hispanic White American adults. The findings showed that the prevalence rate was similar between the two races and there were no significant racial differences in prescription opioid misuse. Religiosity and rurality were negatively associated with misuse only among Black respondents. Depressive episodes, other drug use, age, and risk-taking behaviors were associated with prescription opioid misuse among both Black and White respondents.

Summary: This study explores the barriers to accessing medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) among individuals experiencing homelessness. The findings indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the disparities in MOUD access based on race and socioeconomic status. Factors such as reduced services, lost or stolen medications, transportation challenges, and fear of adverse effects contribute to the treatment gap. Additionally, stigma and discrimination based on race, gender, and socioeconomic status are reported by participants.
