TL;DR: Examination of differences in risk of three types of bullying victimization for four different gender-sexual minority status groups using data generated from high-school aged adolescents in the United States revealed that adolescents who are outside a normal body weight and those belonging to a sexual minority face increased risks of offline and co-occurring victimization.

TL;DR: While some factors proved related to the health outcomes across the 4 ethnic groups, for each group a unique pattern of factors associated with the outcomes, a moderating role for ethnicity in associations between the outcomes and those operating factors in the set was confirmed.
Abstract: The present study intended to evaluate whether 4 discrete ethnic groups of Asian immigrants could, for empirical reasons, be assigned a set of unique operating factors explaining health outcomes of members. The set comprised several acculturation, social structure, lifestyle, and health-related factors. Our study asked if these factors uniformly explained health outcomes across the 4 groups. We pooled National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data dating 1999-2015 and developed 2 outcomes: self-rated health and self-reported chronic illness (specifically, diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, prediabetes/diabetes, hypertension, cancer, or stroke). Since data for smaller Asian ethnic groups are not readily available, we confined our analyses to respondents of Chinese, Filipino, Asian Indian, and "other Asian" ethnicity. Descriptive statistics suggested that Asian Indian respondents were least likely to report having 1 of the 5 specified serious illnesses and self-rated their health higher than the other 3 respondent groups. Additionally, while some factors (e.g., body mass index, depression) proved related to the health outcomes across the 4 ethnic groups, we did observe for each group a unique pattern of factors associated with the outcomes. Our results confirmed, furthermore, a moderating role for ethnicity in associations between the outcomes and those operating factors in the set we evaluated. The study results should be of use in tailoring preventive and intervention programs to various ethnic groups of Asian immigrants; clearly, in promoting health, one approach will not fit all.

TL;DR: The self-medication hypothesis of addictive disorders derives primarily from clinical observations of patients with substance use disorders as mentioned in this paper, who discover that the specific actions or effects of each class of drugs relieve or change a range of painful affect states.
Abstract: The self-medication hypothesis of addictive disorders derives primarily from clinical observations of patients with substance use disorders. Individuals discover that the specific actions or effects of each class of drugs relieve or change a range of painful affect states. Self-medication factors occur in a context of self-regulation vulnerabilities--primarily difficulties in regulating affects, self-esteem, relationships, and self-care. Persons with substance use disorders suffer in the extreme with their feelings, either being overwhelmed with painful affects or seeming not to feel their emotions at all. Substances of abuse help such individuals to relieve painful affects or to experience or control emotions when they are absent or confusing. Diagnostic studies provide evidence that variously supports and fails to support a self-medication hypothesis of addictive disorders. The cause-consequence controversy involving psychopathology and substance use/abuse is reviewed and critiqued. In contrast, clinical observations and empirical studies that focus on painful affects and subjective states of distress more consistently suggest that such states of suffering are important psychological determinants in using, becoming dependent upon, and relapsing to addictive substances. Subjective states of distress and suffering involved in motives to self-medicate with substances of abuse are considered with respect to nicotine dependence and to schizophrenia and posttraumatic stress disorder comorbid with a substance use disorder.
