Intentions to Reduce Alcohol Use Following Brief Alcohol-Related Health Messages Among College Students.

Objective: Health care providers using brief alcohol-related health messaging is an effective manner of reducing risky drinking; however, research is needed to guide the content of such messages. The present study compared current drinkers' and nondrinkers' perspectives on the value of four different alcohol-related messages and the hypothetical impact of the messages on intentions to reduce drinking.

Method: Undergraduates ( = 286 current drinkers, = 101 nondrinkers) from a large, public, Southern Plains university identified primarily as White (82.

Displacement imposition scale assesses reactions of cigarette and e-cigarette users impacted by a campus-wide smoking ban.

Objective: The present study developed a measure assessing the emotional responses, "Displacement Imposition," of cigarette and e-cigarette users on a college campus with a smoking/vaping ban. It also examined the relationship between and readiness to quit smoking/vaping, and how this relationship differed between cigarette and e-cigarette users.

Participants: Participants (N = 297) were from a large, Midwestern university.

Short-term mating orientation as a predictor of alcohol use and risky sexual behavior.

Objectives: Sexual Strategies Theory suggests people fall on a continuum between having short-term mating orientation (STMO) and long-term mating orientation. One way STMO individuals signal mating goals is via risky drinking. The current study therefore aims to investigate drinks per week (DPW) as a mediator between STMO and risky sexual behavior (RSB), with gender as a moderator between STMO and DPW.

Differences in reasons for little cigar/cigarillo use across white and black/African American young adult users.

Introduction: The prevalence of little cigar and cigarillo (LCC) use among young adults is high. Research shows there are racial/ethnic differences in this prevalence, with Black/African American users more likely to report current LCC use. Given these discrepancies in LCC use, the present study aimed to assess potential differences in reasons for LCC use between White and Black/African American young adult ever and past 30-day users.
