Filling in the Gaps: Building the Evidence Base for Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment in Adolescents
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 71Issue 4SupplementS1–S4Published in issue: October, 2022- Scott E. Hadland
Cited in Scopus: 1Substance use disorders (SUDs) most commonly begin during adolescence and are the leading causes of premature death and health problems worldwide [1,2]. Overdose mortality among adolescents has risen dramatically in the wake of the COVID pandemic [3] and alcohol and drugs also contribute to motor vehicle crashes, suicides, and homicides—three of the leading causes of death in adolescents [1,4,5]. SUDs in adolescents are also associated with other adverse physical health outcomes, including transmission of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus, and sexually transmitted infections [1,6,7]; mental health problems, such as depression [1,6,8]; and risk for addiction throughout the life course [9,10]. - Editorial
Youth Access to Naloxone: The Next Frontier?
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 65Issue 5p571–572Published in issue: November, 2019- Nicholas Chadi

Cited in Scopus: 6Recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control point to a potential slowing of the number of opioid overdose deaths in the U.S. for the first time since 1990 [1]. Although this suggests that we may at last be seeing positive impacts of some of the public health measures deployed across the country, several important gaps remain to be filled. For instance, although the number of prescriptions for naloxone—currently the only proven and readily accessible overdose reversal medication [2]—has increased tremendously, it remains 69 times lower than the number of high-potency opioid prescriptions filled [3]. - Editorial
Adolescents and Perceived Riskiness of Marijuana: Why Care?
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 63Issue 4p377–378Published in issue: October, 2018- Nicholas Chadi
- Scott E. Hadland
Cited in Scopus: 8Marijuana legalization is arguably one of the most polarizing and thought-provoking issues of our time and has generated substantial discussion in the scientific community. One of the observed effects of legalizing marijuana for ‘medical’ and ‘recreational’ use in jurisdictions that have chosen this path has been changes in the perceived riskiness of the substance. Historically, perceived riskiness has been shown to be associated with rates of use of different substances such as tobacco and alcohol, where lower perceived riskiness generally meant higher frequency and intensity of use [1]. - Editorial
The Racial and Ethnic Gap in Substance Use Treatment: Implications for U.S. Healthcare Reform
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 54Issue 6p627–628Published online: April 10, 2014- Scott E. Hadland
- Tamara E. Baer
Cited in Scopus: 1The Institute of Medicine has identified that racial and ethnic minority youth experience significant barriers to behavioral health treatment and receive lower quality services than their nonminority counterparts in the United States [1]. Data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health highlight that black and Hispanic adolescents are less likely than white adolescents to receive treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs) [2], the vast majority of which involve marijuana and alcohol misuse [3]. - Editorial
The Immediate and Lasting Effects of Adolescent Homelessness on Suicidal Ideation and Behavior
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 51Issue 5p407–408Published in issue: November, 2012- Brandon D.L. Marshall

Cited in Scopus: 1Suicide accounts for approximately 9% of deaths in young people worldwide and is considered a leading cause of death in this population [1]. Risk factors for suicide in young people are multifactorial and complex, with a host of genetic, behavioral, familial, social, environmental, and contextual factors identified [2]. Within this broad constellation of determinants, individuals exposed to a series of adverse experiences in early life (e.g., childhood trauma and abuse, parental loss, maladaptive parenting) are known to be at a particularly increased risk for suicidal ideation and behavior [3,4].
