Newest firstBackground The increasing prevalence of cannabis use has motivated researchers to develop computational behavioral models that predict usage patterns and related health impacts in naturalistic environments. However, the opaque nature of many artificial intelligence (AI) systems limits users' ability to interpret outputs and undermines trust. Existing explainable artificial intelligence techniques often remain over…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Precursors of alcohol and cannabis use, such as friend (dis)approval, have rarely been examined in person-centered analyses that can inform tailored prevention, particularly among Black and Latino youth. This study aimed to identify person-centered patterns (classes) of precursors of alcohol and cannabis use in Black and Latino youth, examine correlates across classes, and determine whether the classe…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose To identify associations of past-year witnessing violence with expectancies (anticipated effects) for alcohol and cannabis use in Black, Latinx, and White youth, including possible variations by level of neighborhood advantage and/or race/ethnicity. Methods Data were drawn from Follow-up 3 of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (n=7,332; weighted distributions: 45.53% girl, 52.33% boy, 2.14% o…
Cannabis use has become increasingly prevalent due to evolving legal and societal attitudes, raising concerns about its influence on public safety, particularly in driving. Existing studies mostly rely on simulators or specialized equipment, which do not capture the complexities of real-world driving and pose cost and scalability issues. In this paper, we investigate the effects of cannabis on driving behavior usi…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Acute marijuana intoxication can impair motor skills and cognitive functions such as attention and information processing. However, traditional tests, like blood, urine, and saliva, fail to accurately detect acute marijuana intoxication in real time. Objective This study aims to explore whether integrating smartphone-based sensors with readily accessible wearable activity trackers, like Fitbit, can enha…
Background Cannabis use can have unintended, harmful consequences for adolescents, a developmental group that struggles with heightened pressure to align with peer attitudes and behaviors. The role of social-cognitive factors in shifting cannabis use dynamics remains under explored, particularly in states where recreational cannabis use is legal. Objectives The present study examined multilevel longitudinal associ…
During adolescence, problems reflecting cognitive, behavioral and affective dysregulation, such as inattention and emotional dyscontrol, have been observed to be associated with substance use disorder (SUD) risks and outcomes. Prior studies have typically been with small samples, and have typically not included comprehensive measurement of executive dysfunction domains. The relationships of executive dysfunction i…
Open article record in new tab ↗Meta-analyses suggest that the serotonin transporter linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) short (S) allele, relative to the long (L) allele, is associated with risk for alcohol dependence, particularly among individuals with early onset antisocial alcoholism. Youth in substance use treatment tend to show antisocial or externalizing behaviors, such as conduct problems, which predict worse treatment outcome. This st…
