Mashup Score: 1Predictors of Substance Use Initiation by Early Adolescence - 22 hour(s) ago
Objective: Substance use initiation during early adolescence is associated with later development of substance use and mental health disorders. This study used various domains to predict substance use initiation, defined as trying any nonprescribed substance (e.g., alcohol, tobacco, cannabis), by age 12, using a large longitudinal data set. Methods: Substance-naive youths from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (ages 9–10; N=6,829) were followed for 3 years. A total of 420 variables were examined as predictors of substance use initiation, using a penalized logistic regression with elastic net; domains spanned demographic characteristics, self and peer involvement with substance use, parenting behaviors, mental and physical health, culture and environment, hormones, neurocognitive functioning, and structural neuroimaging. Results: By age 12, 982 (14.4%) children reported substance initiation, with alcohol being the most common. Models with only self-report predictors had s

Mashup Score: 2Compassion-Focused Therapy for the Treatment of ICD-11–Defined Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder - 22 hour(s) ago
The most effective treatments for ICD-11–defined complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) remain unknown. Further research is needed to determine whether such treatments for CPTSD are the same as or different from—or require integration with—existing gold standard treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Individuals with CPTSD experience the hallmark symptoms of PTSD (i.e., reexperiencing symptoms, avoidance symptoms, and the pervasive sense of perceived threat) and pervasive disturbances in self-organization, including affective dysregulation, negative self-concept, and difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) is a transdiagnostic approach that was originally developed to treat shame and self-criticism. CFT helps individuals learn how to regulate their emotions, shift their emotional response style from shaming and self-critical to wise and understanding, and engage in more compassionate and rewarding patterns of relating to self
