[PMID: 39368139 DOI: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2024.103362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 09/12/2024] [Accepted: 09/23/2024] [Indexed: 10/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of alcohol geographic availability in influencing adolescent drinking has been debated. However, clear literature consensus has not been reached. OBJECTIVE To provide a systematic review of the associations between geographic availability of alcohol outlets measured through different methodologies and drinking outcomes in adolescents. METHODS We conducted a systematic search (PubMed/SCOPUS/Web of Science) for articles exploring associations between alcohol availability and adolescent drinking before 2023. Original articles written in English that evaluated adolescent populations (10-19 years old), included at least one quantitative alcohol consumption outcome and its relationship with geographic availability of alcohol, and declared no conflicts of interest were selected for the review. A quality assessment of the selected articles was made using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and descriptive analyses were carried out to summarize results. RESULTS Thirty-one articles were reviewed (19 cross-sectional and 12 longitudinal studies), which included a total of 507336 participants. Alcohol availability was positively related to drinking prevalence and risky patterns in 53.3% and 60.5% of associations, respectively. Individual-level covariates, the type of alcohol outlets measured and the different methodological approaches to measure outlet density were related to differences in the direction and magnitude of these associations. CONCLUSION Just over half of the studies in this review demonstrate a positive association between alcohol availability and adolescent alcohol consumption with no negative associations reported. The review highlights the mix of methodological approaches that are used, which made it difficult to conduct joint analyses. Additional research is needed to explore the appropriateness, effectiveness and reliability of these methods within various contexts.

Abstract
AbstractCannabis-related issues for adolescents and young adults are emerging from the shadow of rural opioid addiction and deaths. The rural pediatric population has multiple risk factors putting them at increased risk for adverse consequences with the expansion of cannabis legalization across the United States. Research in this area is rich but scattered across professional disciplines. Differences in demographics and cultures between rural and urban youth are gaining attention. Epidemiological factors relevant to rurality as a risk for cannabis and other substance use are considered for formulating clinical care, public policymakers, and future research. Race, culture, community stability, basic demographics of age, gender, educational status, and demands for more and better, accessible services for rural, nonmetropolitan areas comprise factors for consideration and are detailed. Research findings provide direction for policymakers and clinicians for prevention and intervention efforts to improve care for rural populations, validating and expanding upon insights gained to date.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Externalizing disorders are more prevalent in rural than urban settings and account for disproportionately high mental health service costs for rural adolescents. Although cultural stressors such as discrimination have been associated with externalizing problems in ethnic minority youth broadly, this relationship is understudied in Latinos, particularly those in rural settings. Further, though the associations of family processes such as familism and family conflict have been studied in relation to youth externalizing symptoms, whether these processes change in the face of adolescent discrimination stress remains unknown. METHODS A moderated multiple mediation model was used to examine the association between perceived discrimination, externalizing symptoms, and the indirect effect of family factors (familism, and family conflict) in a large sample (n = 455) of rural Latino youth. We also evaluated whether indirect and direct effects of discrimination on externalizing symptoms differed in boys versus girls. RESULTS Familism and family conflict each independently mediated the relationship between discrimination related stress and externalizing symptoms. However, discrimination had a direct effect on externalizing symptoms for boys only. In girls, this association held only when family factors were accounted for. Post-hoc analyses reveal that the moderating effect of sex on discrimination is driven by differences in rule-breaking behavior, as opposed to aggressive behavior. CONCLUSION Findings suggest that discrimination is associated with changes in the family environment which in turn invoke elevated risk for externalizing problems. Further, family-focused interventions that address externalizing problems may be especially effective for adolescent girls.

Abstract
Aim To systematically review evidence on the influence of specific marketing components (Price, Promotion, Product attributes and Place of sale/availability) on key drinking outcomes (initiation, continuation, frequency and intensity) in young people aged 9–17. Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, PsychINFO, CINAHL and ProQuest were searched from inception to July 2015, supplemented with searches of Google Scholar, hand searches of key journals and backward and forward citation searches of reference lists of identified papers. Results Forty-eight papers covering 35 unique studies met inclusion criteria. Authors tended to report that greater exposure to alcohol marketing impacted on drinking initiation, continuation, frequency and intensity during adolescence. Nevertheless, 23 (66%) studies reported null results or negative associations, often in combination with positive associations, resulting in mixed findings within and across studies. Heterogeneity in study design, content and outcomes prevented estimation of effect sizes or exploration of variation between countries or age subgroups. The strength of the evidence base differed according to type of marketing exposure and drinking outcome studied, with support for an association between alcohol promotion (mainly advertising) and drinking outcomes in adolescence, whilst only two studies examined the relationship between alcohol price and the drinking behaviour of those under the age of 18. Conclusion Despite the volume of work, evidence is inconclusive in all four areas of marketing but strongest for promotional activity. Future research with standardized measures is needed to build on this work and better inform interventions and policy responses.
