Disclosure, stigma, and social support among young people receiving treatment for substance use disorders and their caregivers: a qualitative analysis.
The purpose of this study was to investigate relational processes experienced by youth with substance use disorders (SUDs) and their caregivers that may act as barriers to, or facilitators of, recovery. Single-session qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted by clinicians from a SUDs program. There was variability in disclosure experiences. Addressing relational processes within treatment by encouraging patients and caregivers to share the disclosure decision-making process may support the recovery of youth with SUDs.

Parental views on state cannabis laws and marijuana use for their medically vulnerable children.
Given a rapidly changing policy landscape, the investigators sought to characterize the effects of state marijuana laws on parents' views of marijuana use by their teenage children. The investigators found that among parents of medically vulnerable children, perceiving state marijuana policies as more permissive was strongly associated with lower perceived riskiness of marijuana use for their children.

Poly-use of cannabis and other substances among juvenile-justice involved youth: variations in psychological and substance-related problems by typology.
Juvenile offenders engage in both cannabis use and polysubstance use at higher rates than the general adolescent population. Yet, limited research has examined the relationship between cannabis poly-use (e.g., cannabis and alcohol use) and functional or psychological problems among juvenile offenders. The current study addresses this gap by examining the association of polysubstance use of cannabis compared to cannabis only use with cognitive functioning, psychological distress, and substance-related problems among juvenile detainees.
