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 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 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 found that among patients with suicidal symptoms and SUD diagnoses, a diagnosis of OUD was associated with higher all-cause outpatient visits, ED visits, and inpatient hospitalizations compared to other SUDs. Men had a lower risk of outpatient and inpatient visits, while older individuals had lower risk of ED visits.

Summary: This study aimed to thematically analyze stressors, triggers for substance use, and neutral/relaxing events reported among Black adults participating in a lab paradigm. The results indicate that Black individuals experience unique stressors, such as institutional and racial stressors, which are important to consider when adapting treatment approaches. Additionally, the study identified high-risk situations involving triggers for substance use, suggesting targets for tailoring coping strategies to develop culturally relevant behavioral treatment for substance use disorder.

Summary: A TLFB questionnaire was developed to assess daily non-prescribed opioid use, opioid overdose, facility stays, medications/behavioral treatment for opioid use disorder, and COVID-19 history among opioid overdose survivors. The study found that the TLFB questionnaire was feasible and acceptable, with similar completion time as other substance use assessments.

Summary: This study found racial/ethnic disparities in the receipt of MOUD and treatment completion among women with OUD. Hispanic and Black women were more likely to receive MOUD, but had lower odds of completing treatment compared to White women. Monitoring and designing interventions to improve MOUD receipt and completion rates for women of reproductive age is crucial.
