Article Abstract
Background/aim: Understanding the social context of e-cigarette use in the United States (U.S.) remains a high priority.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included 68,356 adults aged ≥18 from the All of Us research program's COVID-19 Participant Experience (COPE) survey who had complete e-cigarette use information. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression was used to examine the association between e-cigarette use (current, former, and never), psychological distress, and substance use.
Results: In the sample, most were male (66.3 %) and white (81.9 %), with 2.9 % reporting former and 2.3 % current e-cigarette use. Individuals reporting former or current e-cigarette use had a higher prevalence of psychological distress (e.g., depressive symptoms: never 49.6 %, former 70.2 %, current 73.4 %) and substance use (e.g., cannabis: never 9.8 %, former 37.0 %, current 42.6 %) than never e-cigarette use. Compared with never use, current e-cigarette use was associated with higher odds of depressive symptoms (aOR, 1.53 95 % CI: 1.34-1.74), anxiety (aOR1.36, 1.19-1.57), suicidal ideation (aOR1.55, 1.32-1.82), stress (aOR1.41, 1.24-1.59), as well as, cannabis (aOR 2.72, 2.40-3.08), opioids (aOR1.92, 1.56-2.36), stimulants (aOR2.33, 1.91-2.83), sedatives (aOR1.68, 1.43-1.98), hallucinogens (aOR1.94, 1.28-2.90), and cocaine use (aOR1.85, 1.21-2.79). Similar significant associations were observed in former, occasional and daily e-cigarette use, with comparable estimates across sexes.
Conclusion: In this unique well-powered All of US dataset, there was a significant cross-sectional association between e-cigarette use, psychological distress, and substance use, indicating that the social context of e-cigarette use is closely linked to key well-being domains. These data provide high precision estimates that can be used to inform interventions aimed at creating awareness of e-cigarette use correlates.

Age, income, and the discounting of delayed monetary losses.
J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci

Objectives: Previous studies failed to find age-related differences in the discounting of delayed, monetary losses, potentially due to their failure to examine the effects of income and their use of relatively small loss amounts. Accordingly, the present study examined the effects of age and income on the degree to which adults discount a broad range of loss amounts.
Methods: 594 participants (age range: 20 to 80; income range: <$30,000 to >$100,000) performed an adjusting-amount discounting task.

Orthorexia nervosa is defined as an exaggerated and obsessive fixation on healthy eating. In recent years, there has been growing debate over whether orthorexia nervosa should be considered a new psychiatric disorder. This paper discusses the conceptual issues that emerge from the attempt to identify the diagnostic criteria for orthorexia nervosa as opposed to non-pathological cases of healthy eating or 'healthy orthorexia'.

Male infertility is a major health concern worldwide. While biological causes are well understood, the psychological aspects receive less focus. This gap is evident in clinical practice and research, where emotional, social, and mental health issues linked to male infertility are often neglected or inadequately managed.
