TL;DR: There is growing evidence that genetic, personality and individual differences in automatic and controlled aspects of self-regulation may promote the development of PIU, and Pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments specific to PIU have received limited testing in large, rigorous studies.

TL;DR: In this article, a short English version of the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale was examined and compared to the full English UPPS P. The short version generally replicated the internal consistency (0.74-0.88 across subscales) and inter-scale correlations of the full UPPSP.

TL;DR: The present study represents the first investigation to demonstrate that trends in medical use of controlled medications parallel changes in diversion and nonmedical use of the same medication class among college students.

TL;DR: E-cigarettes may contribute to relapse prevention in former smokers and smoking cessation in current smokers, and the number of puffs/day on e-cigarettes remained unchanged between baseline and one year.

TL;DR: Results indicated that sport participation is associated with alcohol use, with 82% of the included studies showing a significant positive relationship, and participation in sports reduced the risk of overall illicit drug use, but particularly during high school; suggesting this may be a critical period to reduce or prevent the use of drugs through sport.

TL;DR: It is found that acute consumption of drugs with abuse potential is capable of modulating impulsive choice and action, although magnitude and direction of effect appear contingent on baseline function.

TL;DR: There is a near universal awareness of e-cigarette awareness, beliefs and usage and their use appears to be common among smokers in Great Britain although a quarter of all smokers are unsure as to whether e-cigarettes are less harmful than cigarettes.

TL;DR: Findings of the current study indicate a high prevalence of internet addiction among Chinese adolescent internet users and highlight the importance of stressors from interpersonal problem and school related problem as a risk factor for IA which mainly mediated through negative coping style.

TL;DR: The findings of three studies aimed at developing and validating a new scale measuring problematic pornography use showed high internal consistency, convergent validity, and construct validity and highlighted the potential use of the PPUS for future research and possible clinical applications.

TL;DR: On the basis of research demonstrating clinical, phenomenological, genetic, neurobiological and other similarities between gambling and substance-use disorders, a decision was made to group pathological gambling with substance-related disorders in DSM-5.

TL;DR: It was revealed that using "dabs" created no more problems or accidents than using flower cannabis, and participants did report that "dabbing" led to higher tolerance and withdrawal (as defined by the participants), suggesting that the practice might be more likely to lead to symptoms of addiction or dependence.

TL;DR: In cross-sectional studies, smoking was associated with a nearly two-fold increased risk of depression relative to both never smokers and former smokers, and the odds of subsequent depression were also higher for current than never smokers.

TL;DR: The evidence for sex differences in behavioral measures of impulsivity for both humans and laboratory animals is reviewed, highlighting the major gaps in this research to date and implications as they relate to drug addiction.

TL;DR: It is made the case that theoretically-driven, bottom-up models proposing two factors deliver the optimal balance of explanatory power, parsimony, and integration of evidence.

TL;DR: These findings indicate that delay discounting is independently associated with relapse and adds to what is already accounted for by nicotine dependence and stress level, and signify that delay Discounting is a productive new target for enhancing treatment for tobacco dependence.

TL;DR: It is concluded that IAD subjects engaged more endeavors in executive control and attention in the switching task, and from another perspective, Iad subjects show impaired cognitive flexibilities.

TL;DR: Hispanic ethnicity, living on campus, and current use of cigarettes and alcohol were associated with a higher likelihood of initiating marijuana use during freshman year, and these results have implications for targeting substance abuse prevention programs on college campuses.

TL;DR: E-cigarette use expectancies determined in this study appear to predict e-cigarettes use and use susceptibility among young adults and thus have important implications for future research.

TL;DR: The prevalence rates of snorted and smoked cocaine in Brazil suggests that the country is amongst the nations with greatest annual consumption rates becoming one of the biggest consumer markets of cocaine worldwide.

TL;DR: The results warrant increased focus on the possibly increased risk of substance abuse in females with ADHD compared to males with ADHD, and female gender, conduct disorder in childhood and older age at initiation of stimulant treatment increased the risk of later SUD and alcohol abuse.

TL;DR: The prevalence of ENDS use doubled in this sample of high school students, and current cigarette smoking is the strongest predictor of current use.

TL;DR: Investigation of the predictors of successful and unsuccessful quit attempts among smokers motivated to quit smoking found that smokers' baseline intention to quit positively predicted quit attempts reported after 6 weeks, while self-efficacy positively predicted Quit attempt success.

TL;DR: Overall, the results suggest that CPT appears well tolerated among veterans with comorbid AUD and is associated with significant reductions in symptoms of PTSD and depression in an outpatient treatment setting.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the factors that may operate as moderators of peer association and suggests that, while the effects of some moderators are clear (e.g., parental monitoring and sensation seeking), others are less straightforward and need to be further examined.

TL;DR: Online compulsive buying seems to be a distinctive behavioral disorder with specific factors of loss of control and motivations, and overall financial and time-consuming impacts.

TL;DR: Earlier work indicating that these risk factors increase across early adolescence and begin to level-off during middle adolescence is replicated, and work to understand the natural course of these core constructs is extended.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that dating violence intervention and prevention programs should target reductions in alcohol use, and contribute to a growing body of research on the temporal relation between acute alcohol use and IPV perpetration among college men.

TL;DR: The current study found that the factor structure of the BIS does not replicate in this sample and instead produces a 12-item three-factor solution consisting of motor-impulsiveness, non-planning impulsiveness, and immediacy impulsiveness that is questionable in this population.

TL;DR: Cultural phenomena such as acculturation and perceived discrimination can continue to affect substance use through the transition to emerging adulthood and health education interventions are needed to help Hispanics navigate this developmental transition without engaging in substance use.

TL;DR: The prevalence rates of psychiatric problems (both diagnosis and symptoms), depression diagnosis and anxiety diagnosis are disproportionately high in substance use treatment samples reporting NMPOU relative to general population rates.
