More-popular middle school students are more likely to be cigarette smokers, drinkers, and marijuana users, as well as past-month drinkers, suggesting that popularity is a risk factor for substance abuse.

Few studies have applied the life course perspective to the study of drug use, a noticeable omission in the field.

Individuals who are sensitive to anxety are likely to suffer from more severe posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

This study, one of the first to examine ethnic disparities in PTSD symptoms among adult injury survivors, found that Hispanics reported higher levels of intensified sensory and cognitive symptoms than non-Hispanics.

Interpretation of ethnic differences in PTSD is predicated on demonstration that differences are not due to measurement bias.

Assessment of alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use in a diverse sample of 5,500 seventh and eighth graders highlights the need to target individual, family, and school factors in efforts to reduce substance use among young minority adolescents.

All symptoms for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are highly associated with those of general distress, which calls into question a model that separates the two.

Brief intervention (BI) research has traditionally examined alcohol and drug use outcomes; however it is unknown whether BIs can also impact on-the-job productivity. This exploratory study examines changes in workplace productivity and related costs for clients receiving a BI for at-risk drinking in the employee assistance program (EAP).
