Racial and ethnic discrimination and DSM-5 substance use disorders among U.S. adults.
J Stud Alcohol Drugs
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109.
Objective: Racial and ethnic discrimination is a risk factor for substance use among United States adults. However, whether discrimination is associated with substance use disorders (SUDs) overall and by race and ethnicity is less understood.
Methods: We used data from the 2012-2013 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III (n=35,355) and defined past-year discrimination as a summary scale (range: 0-4).

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to track the progression of adult spinal deformity (ASD) over a decade, focusing on factors that affect spinal alignment.
- It involved analyzing full spine radiographs of 204 participants, showing a significant overall deterioration in spinal condition, with only 13% of participants experiencing improvement.
- Key predictors for changes in spinal alignment included low scores on self-assessment questionnaires related to function and severe pelvic tilt, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment approaches based on individual risk factors.
Background: Reducing the over-representation of Aboriginal children in the child protection system is a key target for the Australian government.
Objective: We aimed to provide more recent evidence on the population-level cumulative incidence of contacts for Aboriginal children with child protective services (CPS) in Western Australia (WA).
Participants And Setting: Linked administrative data was provided for WA CPS between 2000 and 2015 for 33,709 Aboriginal children born in WA between 2000 and 2013.
Racial/ethnic discrimination and tobacco and cannabis use outcomes among US adults.
J Subst Use Addict Treat
May 2023
Department of Epidemiology, University of Michigan School of Public Health, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA.
Introduction: Racial/ethnic discrimination (hereafter, discrimination) is associated with use of individual tobacco and cannabis products. However, we know little about how discrimination affects dual/polytobacco and cannabis use and associated use disorders.
Methods: We used cross-sectional data on adults (18+) from the 2012-2013 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III (n = 35,744).
Phylogenetic characteristics of Non-SARS human coronavirus in southern Taiwan, 2012-2013.

Electronic address:
This study characterizes the phylogenetic relatedness of non-SARS human coronaviruses (HCoVs) in southern Taiwan by sequencing the nucleocapsid (N), spike (S), and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) genes directly from ten HCoV PCR-positive respiratory samples collected during 2012-2013. In the N, S1, and RdRp phylogeny, HCoV-OC43 in one and three samples was clustered with genotypes F and G, respectively, and HCoV-OC43 in sample YC101/TWN/2013 represented a recombination event between genotypes F and G. Amino acid substitutions in the S1 protein of HCoV-OC43 were also identified.
