Youth and Young Adult Access to Flavored Vaping Products Following a Sales Restriction in New York State: A Mixed Methods Approach.

Introduction: We examined youth and young adult access to flavored vaping products following New York's (NY's) flavored vaping product sales restriction in 2020.

Method: In 2021, we conducted an online survey (N = 493) and focus groups (N = 33) with NY youth and young adults who vaped in the past year (ages 15-24). We summarize findings and use logistic regression to assess associations with access to flavored vaping products.

Background: The Brief Educational Workshops in Secondary Schools Trial (BESST) is an England-wide school-based cluster randomised controlled trial assessing the clinical and cost-effectiveness of an open-access psychological workshop programme (DISCOVER) for 16-18-year-olds. This baseline paper describes the self-referral and other recruitment processes used in this study and the baseline characteristics of the enrolled schools and participants.

Advancing youth tobacco surveillance with novel methods.

Tobacco surveillance in the United States is robust but cannot be quickly modified to capture newly identified tobacco products or behaviors. We present an example of a rapidly deployed nonprobability survey using social media recruitment that collected data on rapidly changing tobacco use behaviors. We recruited 15- to 17-year old current vapers from NY, USA, using targeted social media advertisements to complete the New York Adolescent Vaping Survey (NY AVS), which asked about vaping behaviors not addressed in existing probability surveillance surveys.

Long-term effects of psychosocial interventions for adolescents on depression and anxiety: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Adolescence represents a distinctive phase of development, and variables linked to this developmental period could affect the efficiency of prevention and treatment for depression and anxiety, as well as the long-term prognosis. The objectives of this study were to investigate the long-term effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for adolescents on depression and anxiety symptoms and to assess the influence of different intervention parameters on the long-term effects.

Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched five databases (Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline, PsychInfo, Web of Science) and trial registers for relevant papers published between database inception and Aug 11, 2022, with no restrictions on the language or region in which the study was conducted.
