Ohio University is an R1 institution in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, making it a beautiful place to live and work. The community here has been very welcoming since I started 3 years ago. I have also felt very supported as an ECR within my department and the university.

We are hiring a TT Assistant Professor (clinical area) at Ohio University!!

Research programs related to child/adolescent clinical psychology, health psychology, transdiagnostic factors related to addiction and disordered eating, and assessment encouraged.

Early identification and discussion could serve as prevention, helping people address multiple addiction risks before they escalate. Sometimes the concern itself tells us something important about overall distress and addiction problems.

Important limitations: This was cross-sectional, self-reported data that didn't account for covariates. Future research should use longitudinal designs with advanced statistical methods, more comprehensive measures, and account for important covariates to build on these findings.

8/10
Clinical takeaway: We should screen people with CSB concerns for other addictive behaviors, especially gambling and cannabis. And vice versa - discuss potential CSB concerns with patients who have other addiction issues.

7/10
The findings support a more transdiagnostic approach to understanding addiction - where different addictive behaviors may share common risk factors and psychological mechanisms rather than being completely separate conditions.

This suggests that CSB concerns might be a red flag for broader problematic substance use and behavior patterns, even at subclinical levels. It points to potentially shared underlying features between CSB and other addictive disorders.

5/10
People with CSB concerns showed higher engagement with ALL substances/behaviors compared to those without CSB concerns. They also reported more problems with these behaviors when they did engage.

4/10
Our study looked at this broader group using data from 4,072 census-matched U.S. adults. We wanted to see if CSB concerns correlate with problems across multiple addictive behaviors: alcohol, tobacco, prescription drugs, cannabis, illicit drugs, pornography, gambling, and video games.

3/10
We know CSB disorder often co-occurs with substance use disorders and behavioral addictions, like gambling. But what about people who are just concerned about their sexual behavior being out of control, even if they don't meet diagnostic criteria?

Concerns Across Addictions: Elevated Engagement and Problems Across Addictive Behaviors in Individuals Reporting Compulsive Sexual Behavior Comorbidity rates between Compulsive Sexual Behavior (CSB) Disorder and addictive disorders range from 14% to 44%. However, it remains unclear whether individuals who report concern about CSB are m...

New research with Chris Floyd, Shane Kraus, and @joshuagrubbsphd.bsky.social ! We explored the relationship between concerns about compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) and other addictive behaviors. Even when people don't meet clinical criteria, CSB concerns may signal broader addiction risks.

Not my fault you encouraged me to have "children" young! "Why wait, go for it (the faculty job)!?" You said...

I would like to be present for this conversation so I can also see their reaction!! 😂

The Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science invites proposals regarding non-substance-related "addictive behaviors" for an upcoming special issue. Learn more: bit.ly/42eDp83 @aidangcw.bsky.social @joshuagrubbsphd.bsky.social @cassie-boness.bsky.social

We are looking for individuals with lived experience of gambling problems to collaborate with us in shaping and interpreting gambling research. We are particularly interested in those who live in rural, Appalachian areas. Please share widely!
