Somehow, a scrub who spent a lot of his early life making objectively questionable decisions has been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. Turns out a little passion, good mentors, supportive colleagues, amazing students, and a lot of coffee can take you pretty far. Feeling grateful today.

Cannabis use was associated with decreased negative affect (NA) and this decrease varied as a function of how intense pre-use NA was and CUD symptoms, such that reduction is NA were largest when the pre-use NA was lower- and higher-than-average, but only really for those with severe CUD.

This figure presents the association between NA at the previous moment (horizontal-axis) and NA at the next moment (vertical-axis) as a function of cannabis use between those two moments, and between-person differences in CUD severity (two-panels). steeper slopes signify a stronger autoregressive effect between NA assessments across time. As shown in the figure, cannabis use was associated with decreased NA after use (i.e., the distance between the two lines at any given level of NA), and this effect was most pronounced when the previous moment was characterized by particularly lower- or higher-than-average NA (i.e., lines are father apart at low and high levels of previous moment NA) but only for those high in CUD symptoms (i.e., 6 or more symptoms; right panel). Low CUD Symptoms= -1 SD. High CUD Symptoms= +1 SD. CUD M = 4.4 (SD = 2.0).

Cannabis use was associated with a marked increased in post-use positive affect (PA) and the strength of this increase varied as a function of how intense PA was prior to use, such that the increases in PA were largest when the previous moment was characterized by lower- and higher-than-average PA.

This figure presents the association between PA at the previous moment (horizontal-axis) and PA at the next moment (vertical-axis) as a function of cannabis use between those two moments. Steeper slopes signify a stronger autoregressive effect between PA assessments across time. As shown in the figure, cannabis use was associated with increased PA after use, reflected in the distance between the two lines at any given level of PA, and this effect was most pronounced when the previous moment was characterized by particularly lower- or higher-than-average PA (i.e., lines are father apart at low and high levels of previous moment PA). As previous moment PA approach a person’s average, the effect of cannabis on PA was diminished (i.e., lines are closer together toward the mean).

To accomplish this, we study tested whether cannabis use disrupts the stability of acute and momentary affect across time (i.e., pre- and post-use) among youth, resulting in reduced NA or increased PA and if such shifts varied as a function of pre-use emotional intensity and CUD severity using EMA

This figure represents the breakdown of the lagging structure and how the various data sources were organized for estimated models. The dashed line represents the autoregressive effect during non-use moments (n = 967). The solid lines represent the autoregressive effect during use moments (n = 424). Ns are the number of observations for that pairing.

The call for submissions to the 2026 World Congress of the World Confederation of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies is out. This meeting only happens every 3 years. This one is the US and I will be serving the Substance Use Track Leader. Consider submitting something. wccbt2026.org/wp-content/u...

Our newest pub is out! Here, we used EMA to examine the moment-to-moment association between drinking and subsequent problems, and if emotional functioning changed the strength of this prospective relationship among a hazardous drinking sample of young adults. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...

two figures demonstrating that high momentary negative affect and low trait positive affect, respectively, strengthen the association between drinking and subsequent problems

Grateful to discover I’ve been awarded a Colorado State University Career Impact Recognition. This is a student or peer nominated award. I’m not sure who nominated me, but if you’re out there, thank you!

Update: From APPIC, official word is VA based internships are exempt from the federal hiring freeze. Other federal sites, like the Bureau of Prisons remain uncertain.

I kinda think use of the term “sleuth” is self-evident of their intent. If we were talking data verification, that’d be a different story. Not to mention the culture, as best described by Dr. H, lends itself to these kinds of perceptions. bsky.app/profile/laur...

Thinking a lot about teaching lately and differences in my role between UG and grad classes. For UG, my role is to inspire them to care about a thing. To do this well requires linking personal narratives to academic discussions and being vulnerable in academic spaces. Bell Hooks explains this well…

Since this is back… Unfortunately, academic inflation and toxic productivity culture has all but done away with this. The effects of this on science advancement will be seen for generations. Slowing down and thinking deeply is essential to solve complex problems and it’s undervalued at every level

This is the best paper you’ve probably never read. It covers underlying assumptions about what counts as a psychiatric disorder. For example, are disorders defined by their underlying nature or are they categories identified by us for specific uses? psychiatryonline.org/doi/epdf/10....
