Abstract Parental attitudes and behaviors are significant factors in the gambling behavior of their children yet few attempts have
been made to explore them in depth. The current study compared mothers and fathers on these factors with particular attention
paid towards the gambling of their own teenage children. Surveys were completed by 3,089 parents across Canada with at least
one child between the ages of 13 and 18 years. Participants responded to items in three general areas: (1) parental attitudes
towards gambling among adolescents, (2) parental involvement in gambling with their children, and (3) ...

Abstract: Using a national sample (n = 571) of substance abuse treatment providers affiliated with the Clinical Trials Network, we examined the contribution of several factors—demographic, attitudes, and involvement in research—toward providers' willingness to use research findings in practice. The sample included medical staff, social workers, psychologists, and counselors. Using a multiple linear regression model, we examined the impact of involvement in research and willingness to use research findings in practice. Providers involved in research were more willing to use findings in practice (p < .001). Latino/Latina...

Conclusions: PSNHDD appears to be a clinically informative end point measure, especially when used with a grace period, and is as sensitive as most traditional outcome measures in detecting differences between the medication and placebo groups. Nonetheless, these findings should be replicated in other clinical data sets, particularly with medications that work via different mechanisms.

Conclusions: Liver abnormalities, but not necessarily cirrhosis, are common in individuals with poor chromatographic separation of transferrin glycoforms, which might lead to false-positive results on CDT testing. However, the chromatographic-based assay can detect this issue, minimizing the reporting of false positives, but not necessarily assisting in valid detection of heavy drinking.

Conclusions: Increased alcohol taxes are associated with significant and sizable reductions in alcohol-attributable mortality in Florida. Results indicate that 600 to 800 lives per year could be saved if real tax rates were returned to 1983 levels (when the last tax increase occurred). Findings highlight the role of tax policy as an effective means for reducing deaths associated with chronic heavy alcohol use.

Reduced Resource Optimization in Male Alcoholics: N400 in a Lexical Decision Paradigm.Email this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: These results suggest a reduced flexibility in the cognitive networks and a lack of resource optimization in alcoholics. The reduced attenuation of N400 during the primed condition in the alcohol dependent subjects may reflect an inability to engage similar neuronal substrates associated with semantic relatedness as seen in the controls. As diminished N400 attenuation during priming is observed in both alcoholics and high risk subjects, it may be a marker of risk and a good endophenotype for alcoholism.
