..This study extends findings on subjective intoxication, urge to drink, and their genetic bases from controlled laboratory to naturalistic settings...

..Smoking abstinence did not moderate hostility effects. Cigarette smoking may prevent continuing increases in negative mood after social stress in HH smokers, which may partially explain their low rates of quitting...

..The study objectives were to examine smoking abstinence and reinstatement effects on subjective experience and cognitive performance among adolescent smokers...

..This study demonstrated the feasibility of the BPD research with marijuana and yielded promising results for future studies examining the independent and combined effects of marijuana pharmacology and expectancies...

..The aim of this research was to study marijuana use, associated risks, and response to brief motivational intervention among young adult drinkers treated in an emergency department...

..Integrating brief alcohol intervention into smoking cessation treatment appears feasible, but further development is needed to yield lasting effects on smoking...

..The aim of this study was to establish profiles of mandated students from a combined data set using exploratory and replication cluster analysis...

..Additionally, these results highlight the potential utility of considering limb of blood alcohol curve when examining the mechanisms of action of pharmacotherapies thought to alter subjective responses to alcohol...

..This study examined these candidate genes as moderators of the effects of NTX on cue-elicited urge to drink in non-treatment-seeking heavy drinkers...

..The CEQ-P is likely to be useful for both clinical and research purposes. Treatment implications were discussed...

..Treatment implications were discussed. This brief scale is likely to be useful in a variety of research and clinical settings...

..Patients treated in an urban emergency department were studied to determine if college status, gender and having alcohol as a reason for medical treatment were related to alcohol use and related problem behaviors...

..Further research is needed on possible effects with smokers motivated to quit smoking and on other methods of promoting smoking cessation among alcoholics...

..This study has implications for brief interventions that capitalize on potential teachable moments with problem-drinking adolescents...

This article summarizes the proceedings of a symposium, chaired by Peter Monti and cochaired by Tracy O'Leary, that was presented at the 2001 RSA Meeting in Montreal, Quebec...

..Effects of MET were hypothesized to be greater with CST and for less motivated patients...

....

..Results indicate that brief tobacco deprivation does not result in compensatory increases in alcohol consumption among young moderate to heavy drinkers...

....

..Implications of these findings for the assessment of adolescent smoking are discussed...

..Findings offer some support for MI for smoking reduction among non-treatment-seeking adolescents, but overall changes in smoking were small...

..Results suggest focusing coping skills training on these potentially effective strategies...

..To present a comprehensive review of the use of motivational enhancement and other brief interventions for substance use in adolescents...

..We conclude that brief interventions are recommended for adolescents who present to an ED with an alcohol-related event and report preexisting problematic alcohol use...

..The current study represents a replication of this pilot study using a larger sample size and a longer follow-up assessment period...

..Aggregated data would be unable to detect this time trend. This research underscores the potential value added by examining the day-to-day timing of effects following treatments for alcohol use...

..These findings further emphasize the relevance of behavioral economic indices of motivation to AUDs and the potential importance of craving for alcohol in this relationship...

..Genes underlying glutamatergic neurotransmission, such as the GRIK1 gene, may help predict heterogeneity in topiramate-induced side effects. Future studies in larger samples are needed to more fully establish these preliminary findings...

..Additionally, the utility of factor-specific cut scores in identifying patients with DSM-IV alcohol diagnoses was investigated...

..Parent reports generally underestimated the adolescent's substance use. Questions on level of substance use generally provide an efficient method of screening adolescents for substance-related problems in an ED setting...

..Future research should focus primarily on investigating ways to improve smoking quit rates for smokers in early alcohol recovery...

..Similar patterns were found for marijuana-related risky driving, but effects were non-significant...

..The findings indicated that drinking behavior partially mediated the association between positive evaluations and problems experienced from drinking but did not mediate the association between evaluations and drunk driving...

..Although naltrexone has been widely researched in the context of drinking and smoking behaviors, with each substance studied separately, little is known about the effects of naltrexone on craving for cigarettes during alcohol intoxication...

..These investigations should focus primarily on smokers in early alcohol recovery...
