Objective: Driving after cannabis use (DACU) has become an increasing public health concern nationwide. Although previous research linked perceived peer approval, perceptions of dangerousness, and negative effect expectancies to DACU, no work examined whether these constructs can be successfully targeted in intervention or changes variables lead DACU.

Emerging (N = 371, 56.9% White; 53.9% Male) were...

Background Alcohol-impaired driving among college students represents a significant public health concern, yet little is known about specific theoretical and individual difference risk factors for after drinking heavy students. This study evaluated the hypothesis that drinkers with elevated alcohol demand would be more likely to report driving. Method Participants were 207 who reported at least 1 episode (4/5 or drinks in occasion woman/man) past month. completed an purchase task assessed...

Participants completed measures (EPDS) Time 1 (2 d postpartum) EPDS an Emotional Adjustment Scale (BaM-13) 2 (6 postpartum).A conditional...

Objective: Alcohol-impaired (AI) driving among college students remains a significant public health concern and may be the single most risky drinking outcome young adults. Brief motivational interventions (BMIs) have been shown to reduce alcohol use problems, but their specific efficacy for decreasing AI is unknown. The present study analyzed data from three randomized controlled trials of BMI (Murphy et al., 2010: n = 74; Borsari 2012: 530; Martens 2013: 365) evaluate whether BMIs are...

Objective: Driving after drinking (DAD) among college students remains a significant public health concern and is perhaps the single riskiest drinking-related behavior. Counselor-delivered web-based Brief Alcohol Interventions (BAIs) have been shown to reduce DAD students, but date no study has evaluated efficacy of single-session mobile phone–based BAI specific DAD. The present examined whether driving-specific delivered via phone would significantly decrease compared an informational...

Posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms are associated with alcohol-related consequences, but there is a need to understand mediators that may help explain the reasons for this relationship. Individuals PTS experience elevated craving and alcohol reward value (demand), which contribute risk consequences. We examined relationships between status, craving, demand, consequences in PTS-positive (n = 64) PTS-negative 200) college students (M age 21.7; 77% women; 54% Caucasian; 34% African American)...

Although impaired sleep has been other substances misuse, little research date examined the relationship between craving individuals with OUD. The present study as moderator stress randomized controlled human laboratory study. Individuals current OUD (N = 39) completed 1-night hospital stay control for factors that may affect...

Driving after cannabis use (DACU) is a significant public health concern and represents one of the riskiest cannabis-related behaviors. Though years research has demonstrated that impairs driving ability, many college students report believing does not impair their abilities. This perception low danger may contribute to permissive attitude toward DACU.

Research suggests that Student Service Members/Veterans (SSM/V) may be more likely to use alcohol than civilian students, but little research has focused cannabis in these two samples.Objectives: The purpose of current study was compare frequency, disorder (CUD) symptoms, and cannabis-related problems between students SSM/V. A second aim determine if group differences outcomes were moderated by symptoms...

Prior research linked DACU with outcome expectancies, positive negative beliefs holds about effects cannabis. The present study examined relationships between expectancies sample college users who have engaged recent DACU.  Participants were 85 students reported at least three times past...
