Objective To understand college students' experiences with substance use at electronic music events (EME), including harm-reduction strategies and receptivity to educational intervention.Participants A purposeful sample of undergraduate students at a private Southeastern university was recruited from April 2019 to May 2019 using online advertising and in-person tabling.Methods A qualitative, descriptive research design utilizing semistructured focus groups.Results Five focus groups were conducted (n = 18). A thematic analysis revealed three main themes substance use is commonplace; substance use and protective behaviors; and universities' role in substance education. Additional categories and subcategories were identified within each theme.Conclusion Substance use at EME is a common experience for college students. Several challenges and opportunities exist for universities working to promote harm reduction practices. Prevention efforts should be event-specific, incorporate student input to engage learning more effectively, and work to reduce barriers that deter students from taking safety precautions when using substances.

Hookup apps, such as Tinder, have become vastly popular among college students, and hookup culture has become more normatively acceptable. The current study seeks to understand the associations of hookup app uses and outcome variables including sexual attitudes, relationship turbulences, and risky sexual behaviors.

The current study conducted an online cross-sectional survey among participants (n = 654) from a large public university.

The results showed that hookup app users reported significantly more favorable attitudes toward sexual permissiveness and instrumentality, less favorable attitudes toward birth control, more relationship anxiety, and more relationship avoidance, compared to nonusers. Furthermore, structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that more hookup app uses were associated with more favorable attitudes toward sexual permissiveness and instrumentality, more risky sex, and higher relationship turbulence.

The practical implications and suggestions for future research were discussions for future research were discussed.

Aquatic therapy (AT) has been reported to be beneficial for individuals with spinal cord injury or disorder (SCI/D); however, AT has also been reported to be underutilized in SCI/D rehabilitation. We aimed to understand the knowledge and current practice of AT for clients with SCI/D by physiotherapists, physiotherapy assistants and kinesiologists across Canada.

A survey with closed- and open-ended questions was distributed (July-October 2019) to professionals through letters sent by professional associations. Non-parametric analyses were used to compare AT knowledge and practice between AT and non-AT users; content analysis was used to identify the themes from open-ended questions.

Seventy-eight respondents from 10 provinces were included in the analysis 33 physiotherapists, 5 physiotherapy assistants and 40 kinesiologists. Respondents using AT (73%) reported greater knowledge of AT benefits and confidence to apply AT than respondents not using AT (

<0.01). Four themes were identified 1-Variety of prategies to increase the access to AT after SCI/D.

We examined relationships between different types and patterns of substance use and victimization experiences.

College students from two universities in Spain completed an online, cross-sectional survey.

A series of tetrachoric correlations were estimated to examine the bivariate associations between different types of substances and victimization experiences. GSK4362676 Regression analyses then examined relationships between patterns of substance use (non-users, mono-users, and poly-users), and victimization.

Slightly over half (57.7%) of students reported any form of victimization during the previous year, and most students (87.0%) reported using substances during the last three months. Polysubstance users were more likely than non-users to experience any victimization, as well as multiple forms of victimization.

Findings highlight the importance of differentiating types and patterns of substance use when developing prevention and intervention programs. Implementing intervention strategies that target polysubstance users and decrease substance use could reduce rates of victimization among college students.

There is evidence-based research to support the use selective and indicated strategies for suicide prevention, yet, universal prevention approaches are also needed. However, the extent to which the broader contexts of suicide have been examined remains largely absent from the literature. This article presents findings from a systematic review of articles published between 2009 and 2021, focusing what types of empirically evaluated suicide prevention programs effectively prevent and reduce suicidality in older adults. Using the PICO and PRISMA guidelines, a final sample of 8 articles were reviewed in this systematic review. The articles were categorized into three types of programs 1) primary and home health care, 2) community-based outreach, and 3) counseling. The articles also examined the involvement of social workers in these programs. Following a description of the articles, the authors assess each study using the GRADE rating system. Lastly, the authors discuss the role of the social worker in mental health promotion and prevention strategies.Objective This study used a multi-faceted methodological approach to examine if peer perceptions of stereotyped student groups' mental health needs varied by target race and student-athlete status.Participants In Study 1, 502 university students completed an online experiment. Study 2 data were drawn from the American College Health Association (ACHA)-National College Health Assessment (N = 65,167) and Healthy Minds Study (N = 43,487).Methods Study 1 participants rated the severity of various mental health concerns for Black non-student-athletes, White non-student-athletes, Black student-athletes, or White student-athletes. Study 2 conceptualized peer perceptions vis-à-vis mental health patterns in national data.Results Study 1 generally revealed lower perceived severity of mental health concerns for Black non-student-athletes. In contrast, Study 2 patterns revealed more variations across student status groups, including that Black non-student-athletes exhibited relatively high prevalence rates of numerous mental health concerns.
