Parental permissiveness of drinking is a reliable predictor of college drinking, but there is little known about factors that predict such permissiveness. This study seeks to examine factors that predict two potentially different facets of permissiveness: perceived general approval of alcohol use and perceived drinking limits. Additionally, we explored how these facets mediate the relationship between the predictors of permissiveness and subsequent college drinking and related consequences.

Objective: Alcohol-induced blackouts (AIBs) have been associated with increased alcohol-related consequences. Serious harm reduction (SHR) protective behavioral strategies may reduce consequences when students are drinking heavily. We examined whether SHR weakened the relationship between AIBs and a) total consequences and b) serious consequences (e.

This paper is a write-up of the ideas that were presented, developed and discussed at the fourth International Workshop on QCD Challenges from pp to AA, which took place in February 2023 in Padua, Italy. The goal of the workshop was to focus on some of the open questions in the field of high-energy heavy-ion physics and to stimulate the formulation of concrete suggestions for making progresses on both the experimental and theoretical sides. The paper gives a brief introduction to each topic and then summarizes the primary results.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study focused on high school seniors, who commonly engage in risky drinking behaviors, particularly through drinking games, and examined the effectiveness of an online intervention called eCHECKUP TO GO for reducing these behaviors.
  • - In a randomized controlled trial with high-risk drinkers, the intervention showed no significant change in drinking game frequency but resulted in a meaningful decrease in the number of drinks consumed during those games and overall drinking occasions after 30 days, which persisted at the 6-month mark.
  • - Overall, the findings indicate that eCHECKUP TO GO is effective in lowering hazardous alcohol consumption among high school seniors, suggesting the potential of technology-based interventions in addressing teen drinking issues.

Introduction: Machine Learning (ML) has emerged as a promising approach in healthcare, outperforming traditional statistical techniques. However, to establish ML as a reliable tool in clinical practice, adherence to best practices in , and is crucial. In this work, we summarize and strictly adhere to such practices to ensure reproducible and reliable ML.
