Just heard a @springernature.com journal is requiring authors to pay for open access (~$5k) to submit an invited paper if they want to be compliant with the new NIH policy.

If that's how Springer is planning to handle things going forward, I know of a number of journals I will no longer submit to.

I am hiring a clinical research assistant for a project on adolescent cannabis use that will use MRI 🧠 and behavioral tasks 🎮 More information is available in the link below, and applicants can send a CV and cover letter to me. Please share—thank you!

The entire National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) team at SAMHSA was terminated today.

Do not listen to the platitudes of this administration when they say they care about drug overdose, addiction, mental health, or suicide.

Frontiers | Acute effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol on computational measures of neurocognitive processes are related to recent cannabis use among adolescents and young adults

Check out our new paper on the acute effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol on computational measures of neurocognitive processes 😃 Thanks to senior author Natania Crane & coauthors @AlexWeigard, @pshrink, K. Luan Phan, Harriet de Wit, & Heide Klumpp www.frontiersin.org/journals/ado...

The peer-reviewed NIAAA journal, Alcohol Research: Current Reviews, and all of the previously open access papers published in the journal have been removed from the web. arcr.niaaa.nih.gov/about-arcr

Very excited to share our new pub where we ran 7,680 unique models exploring associations between adolescent alcohol use and emotional problems! bit.ly/4gGIP1o

Trends in School Mental Health and Substance Use Education This study examines trends in school programming related to mental health and substance use and teacher professional development across US middle and high schools from 2008 to 2020.

Our new study out today in JAMA:

US schools from 2008-20:
✅ Mental health education: 83.8% → 89.8%
✅ Suicide prevention: 70.1% → 81.8%
✅ Teacher training for mental health: 36.1% → 67.7%

But substance use prevention training? Still stuck at ~45%

Hellooo Bluesky! I am trying to grow my tiny lab at Vanderbilt and am recruiting 1-2 postdocs who will help me tackle addiction heterogeneity. Please reach out if interested! All reposts are appreciated! www.vanderbilt.edu/postdoc/posi...

✨I will be reviewing applications for UNM's clinical psych PhD program this cycle!

Those w/ interests in addiction etiology and precision medicine, mixed method approaches (including advanced statistical methods), measurement, and community engagement would be a good fit.

I am so excited I finally got to team up with the brilliant @sammeisel.bsky.social on this piece: "Beyond Mediators: A Critical Review and Methodological Path Forward for Studying Mechanisms in Alcohol Use Treatment Research".

Preprint of submitted paper: psyarxiv.com/xar6y/

Just posted a preprint on a new measure – The Parenting Styles Circumplex Inventory (PSCI). This measure combines dimensional and typology approaches to capturing parenting styles. Much thanks to Nolan Ramer, Chis Hopwood, and Craig Colder for all their help with this paper.

This sounds so interesting! A lot of my current work focuses on caregiver involved treatments and how to refine and expand access to them.

I take a broad developmental psychopathology approach to my work trying to integrate multiple levels of risk and resilience.

Im a clinical psychologists researching why teenagers use substances and how we can improve substance use treatments for teens from a developmental perspective. I’m particularly interested in the roles of parents and peers in teen substance use and treatment.
