Unplanned drinking predicts alcohol-impaired driving cognitions and behavior in daily life.

Objective: This study used ecological momentary assessment to investigate the association between unplanned drinking and alcohol-impaired driving (AID) cognitions and behavior among adults.

Method: Adults ( = 125) completed 6 weeks of morning and evening ecological momentary assessment surveys assessing plans to drink later that night, driving behavior, and AID cognitions. Mixed-effects models with moments (Level 1) nested within days (Level 2) within person (Level 3) were used to test the effect of planned (vs.

Physical context of alcohol use and craving: An EMA exploratory study.

While environmental and physical contextual factors play an important role in alcohol use and motivation for use, assessment of the physical context of use, even when using ecological momentary assessments (EMA), has been limited. While EMA research has examined drinking locations at the event level using categories of drinking locations, there is considerable within-category variability in the attributes of drinking locations. Using data from a 6-week EMA study (N = 207), this exploratory study sought to determine drinking locations through the combination of EMA self-report and GPS coordinates.

Developing and testing health warnings about alcohol and risk for breast cancer: Results from a national experiment with young adult women in the United States.

Background: This study sought to identify effective health warnings about alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk among young adult female participants.

Methods: We tested a pool of health warnings in a national pilot study. We used the most effective designs from the pilot in the main experiment where young (ages 21-29) U.

Event-level influences of alcohol, cannabis, and simultaneous use on perceived driving risk.

Alcohol-impaired driving is highly prevalent and a leading cause of death. Cannabis is commonly used among people who drink alcohol, and using alcohol and cannabis simultaneously is associated with a greater frequency of alcohol-impaired driving. Laboratory studies demonstrate the harmful effects of simultaneous use on driving ability compared to alcohol use alone, yet driving under the influence of cannabis is perceived as a low risk.

Initial development of a digitally based comprehensive child mental health questionnaire.

The present report describes the item development and initial validation of a comprehensive child mental health questionnaire through a series of four studies. To maximize clinical utility, the questionnaire was developed to directly reflect psychiatric criteria and diagnoses, cover all mental health conditions that present in youth, and capitalize on the benefits of digital administration, particularly tiered branching logic. Study 1 describes the item generation and development of a tiered item structure.

Variants of the P3 event-related potential operate as indicators of distinct mechanisms contributing to problematic alcohol use.

Considerable research has linked relative reduction in the amplitude of the P3 event-related potential (ERP) during cognitive task performance (i.e., Target-P3) with increased risk of alcohol-related problems.

Daily Associations Between Injunctive Drinking Norms and Alcohol Consumption.

Objective: Perception of others' approval of alcohol use (i.e., injunctive drinking norms) is strongly predictive of alcohol use, particularly among young adults.

The association of histopathologic features after neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy with clinical outcome: Sub-analyses from the randomized double-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase III IMagyn050/GOG3015/ENGOT-ov39 study.

Objective: Histopathologic characteristics after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) may correlate with outcome. This study evaluates histopathologic features after immunotherapy and NACT/bevacizumab, and associated clinical outcomes.

Methods: Evaluable tissue from IMagyn050/GOG3015/ENGOT-ov39 patients from prespecified anatomic sites from interval cytoreductive surgery (ICS) after NACT/bevacizumab plus atezolizumab/placebo underwent central histopathologic scoring and analyzed with clinical outcomes.

Development and Initial Validation of a Momentary Cannabis Craving Scale Within a Homogeneous Sample of U.S. Emerging Adults.

Given the popularity and ease of single-item craving assessments, we developed a multi-item measure and compared it to common single-item assessments in an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) context. Two weeks of EMA data were collected from 48 emerging adults (56.25% female, 85.

Non-alcoholic beverage consumption among US adults who consume alcohol.

Background And Aims: Non-alcoholic beverages (NABs) that mimic alcohol without inducing intoxication, such as non-alcoholic beers, non-alcoholic wines and spirit-free drinks, are increasing in popularity. It is unknown whether NABs help to mitigate or stimulate alcohol use. The present study aimed to describe NAB consumption practices among US adults consuming alcohol, characterize who is likely to consume NABs and examine whether NAB use influences desire for and perceived consumption of alcohol.

Sleep and circadian influences on blood alcohol concentration.

Study Objectives: Anecdotally, adults reach higher levels of subjective intoxication on days they are fatigued or sleep-deprived, but sleep is not typically discussed as a predictor of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) in clinical settings. To inform clinical work and future research, this perspective reviews data examining the impact of sleep (process S) and circadian (process C) factors on indicators of BAC in humans and animal models.

Methods: Literature searches of medical and psychological databases were conducted to identify articles that manipulated sleep/circadian factors and reported effects on indicators of alcohol pharmacology (e.

Using mobile technology to influence alcohol-impaired driving risk perceptions and decisions.

Objective: Despite significant individual and societal risk, alcohol-impaired driving (AID) remains prevalent in the United States. Our aim was to determine whether breathalyzer-cued warning messages administered via mobile devices in the natural drinking environment could influence real-world AID cognitions and behaviors.

Method: One hundred twenty young adults (53% women; mean age = 24.

Patient perceptions regarding alcohol use after bariatric surgery.

Introduction: Patients who have undergone bariatric surgery are at increased risk of an alcohol use disorder. Though patients understand this risk, the majority engage in post-surgical alcohol use. This suggests that education alone is not sufficient to reduce post-surgical drinking.

Using the Child Sheehan Disability Scale to Differentiate Severity Level in Youth With Anxiety Disorders and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

The current study extends the psychometric support for the Child Sheehan Disability Scale (CSDS) as a measure of impairment associated with childhood anxiety disorders, including obsessive compulsive disorder. The CSDS was completed by 1,481 predominately Caucasian youth (55.4% female) ages 8 to 17 ( = 12.

Comparing associations between mood and breath alcohol concentration in the laboratory and natural environment.

Objective: Associations between mood and drinking are part of many theoretical models of problematic alcohol use. Laboratory and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) research on associations between mood and drinking behavior has produced mixed findings, and these constructs are often measured using different methods depending on research context. The present study compares associations between mood and alcohol consumption across research contexts (laboratory vs.

Alcohol demand as a predictor of drinking behavior in the natural environment.

Background And Aims: Alcohol demand, a measure of alcohol's reinforcing value, is associated with greater alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems. Although alcohol demand has primarily been evaluated as a 'trait-like', individual difference measure, recent evidence indicates that demand exhibits meaningful short-term fluctuations. We aimed to determine whether moment-to-moment fluctuations in alcohol demand in individuals' natural drinking environments predicted drinking occurrence, drinking continuation, and drinking quantity.

Decision strategies while intoxicated relate to alcohol-impaired driving attitudes and intentions.

Objective: Approximately 28 million individuals engage in alcohol-impaired driving (AID) every year. This study investigated individuals' AID decision making strategies under intoxication, their variability across the breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) curve, and the association between strategy and AID attitudes, intentions, and behavior.

Method: Seventy-nine adults (mean 23.

Differential brain responses to alcohol-related and natural rewards are associated with alcohol use and problems: Evidence for reward dysregulation.

Multiple theoretical perspectives posit that drug use leads to biased valuation of drug-related reward, at the expense of naturally occurring rewarding activities (i.e., reward dysregulation).
