Effects of mint, menthol, and tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes on tobacco withdrawal symptoms in adults who smoke menthol cigarettes: A laboratory pilot study.

Background: Menthol cigarette smoking has remained stable or increased in certain groups, despite an overall decline in cigarette smoking rates in the U.S. Understanding whether e-cigarettes alter patterns of menthol cigarette use is critical to informing efforts for reducing the public health burden of menthol cigarette smoking.

A Deeper Dive into Young Adults' Experiences with E-Cigarettes, E-Cigarette Cessation, and Transitioning to Cigarette Smoking.

: E-cigarette use among young adults is prevalent, with some voicing their desire to quit using e-cigarettes but needing support to do so. Young adults who use e-cigarettes are at risk for progressing to smoking combustible cigarettes, placing them at risk for severe health consequences. Limited research exists describing young adults' lived experiences with using e-cigarettes, e-cigarette cessation, and progression to combustible cigarettes.

Informing the development of interventions for e-cigarette use and prevention of transition to cigarette smoking in young adults: A qualitative study.

E-cigarette use in young individuals may increase risk for cigarette smoking initiation. Over half of young adults who use e-cigarettes voiced their desire to quit e-cigarettes. Mobile-based interventions may allow for an easy-to-use platform to engage young adults in cessation services and reduce risk for cigarette uptake.

Preliminary development of the protective behavioral strategies for vaping scale.

Objective: Exploring factors that may mitigate the harms of e-cigarette use (i.e., vaping) among college students may provide insights for prevention/intervention efforts.

Sex differences in poly-victimization among youth experiencing homelessness prior to substance use treatment.

Background: Poly-victimization is common among youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) and youth in substance use treatment. To date, studies have not examined poly-victimization among these two intersecting populations.

Objective: To examine heterogeneity in lifetime victimization experiences among youth reporting homelessness at substance use treatment entry; identify demographic predictors of victimization class membership; and associations between victimization and clinical characteristics at treatment intake.

Applying polyvictimization theory to veterans: Associations with substance use and mental health.

Objective: Prior work has linked exposure to multiple types of trauma (i.e., polyictimization) to increased risk of negative behavioral health outcomes compared with exposure to any single event.

Temporal, Sex-Specific, Social Media-Based Alcohol Influences during the Transition to College.

The transition to college is an important developmental phase, usually met with increased social desirability, access to alcohol, and new peer groups. Recently, research has utilized social media as a predictor of events during college, but few have assessed how social media can influence alcohol use during the transition to college. Participants ( = 320) were recruited prior to entering their first year of college.

Influences of victimization and comorbid conditions on latency to illicit drug use among adolescents and young adults.

Objective: Exposure to violent victimization is associated with higher rates of mental health and substance use disorders (SUD). Some youth who experience multiple victimizations and associated characteristics (i.e.
