Stimulants01:29

Stimulants

220
Stimulants are substances that enhance neural activity and elevate dopamine levels in the brain, leading to their highly addictive nature. These drugs include cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA, caffeine, and nicotine, each with distinct mechanisms of action and varied health implications.
Cocaine can be administered via snorting, injection, or smoking. It primarily functions by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, resulting in a euphoric high characterized by an intense sensation of happiness and...

Emerging Adulthood

65
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

220
Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

Drug Dependence01:17

Drug Dependence

1.0K
Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Longitudinal Research

12.0K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV01:26

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

33
Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Addiction Science
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) use is prevalent among college students.
  • A significant portion of ENDS users express interest in quitting.
  • Limited research exists on ENDS cessation strategies in this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine readiness to quit ENDS among college students.
  • To investigate the use and perceived efficacy of various ENDS cessation methods.
  • To identify opportunities for improving cessation support for college students.

Main Methods:

  • Online survey administered to 1563 undergraduate students (aged 18-24) across six US universities.
  • Data collected between September 2021 and April 2022.
  • Assessed lifetime ENDS use, quit attempts, readiness to quit, and perceived effectiveness of cessation strategies.

Main Results:

  • 47% of students reported lifetime ENDS use; 48% of users attempted to quit.
  • 67% of ENDS users indicated readiness to quit.
  • Unassisted methods (cold turkey, willpower) were most common; personalized experience enhanced perceived efficacy. Social support and nicotine replacement were underutilized despite perceived effectiveness. Digital tools were least utilized and perceived as least helpful.

Conclusions:

  • College students using ENDS show high interest in quitting, primarily using self-directed methods.
  • There is a need for increased awareness and utilization of evidence-based ENDS cessation resources.
  • Integrated digital tools offering social support present a promising, cost-effective approach for college student ENDS cessation.
