88, respectively). Avoidance coping fully accounted for the relationship between anticipated SUS and missed appointments (b = 0.12; 95% CI 0.02, 0.25). Results suggest that avoidance strategies to manage anticipated SUS may result in substance using MSM forgoing HIV care appointments.Justice-involved youth have a number of risk factors for HIV infection, including high rates of substance use, psychiatric comorbidities, and risky sexual behaviors. Although detained youth are likely to receive health care-which may include HIV testing-court-involved, non-incarcerated (CINI) youth may be unlikely to receive HIV testing services either before or during their justice involvement. However, the relationship between risk factors and HIV testing among CINI youth is largely unknown. We explored the association between HIV testing and factors commonly associated with both HIV testing and HIV risk among 173 CINI youth with identified behaviors that put them at risk for HIV acquisition. Only 15.6% of participants reported a lifetime history of HIV testing, despite high rates of sexual and substance use risk behaviors. Age (older), gender (female), sexual orientation (non-heterosexual), recent marijuana use, lifetime use of other drugs, history of a sexually transmitted infection, pap smear in the past year and history of mental health/substance use treatment were all significantly associated with lifetime HIV testing. The extremely low testing rates in this sample emphasize that the juvenile justice system outside of detention is not adequately addressing youths' needs related to HIV testing or ensuring access to testing services for youth at risk of contracting HIV. Results suggest that additional efforts are needed to connect justice-involved youth to healthcare more broadly and HIV testing in particular.Socially desirable responding is a response bias that can affect the accuracy of self-reports. It is especially likely when questions address sensitive topics, such as gambling attitudes, problems and behaviours. A sample of 321 participants were recruited from Amazon's mTurk crowdsourcing platform for a randomized controlled trial investigating an online gambling intervention. Data from this study was used to examine the influence of socially desirable responding on gambling self-report measures over time. At baseline, self-deception (SD), a factor of socially desirable responding, was significantly higher among males than females and among those with household incomes greater than $20,000 per year. Controlling for demographic variability, mixed effects models examining the relationship between socially desirable responding factors [SD and impression management (IM)] and time were conducted. Among males, there were significant interactions between IM with the NORC DSM-IV screen for gambling problems (NODS) and the gambling symptom assessment scale (G-SAS) scores respectively, over time. In other words, males with higher IM scores, demonstrated less change in NODS and G-SAS scores from baseline to 6-month follow-up compared to males with lower IM scores. There were no significant interactions in any models among females or among the full sample. Controlling the well-documented effect of socially desirable responding on self-reported measures in addictions research should be considered as a method to help reduce error and improve validity. Future research should continue to examine the effect of this bias on gambling measures over time and in each gender.Trial registration https//ClinicalTrials.gov/NCT03124589 , registered 19 January 2017.The present study develops key research for French word norms that combines the predominant theories of dimensional and discrete (or categorical) emotions. As a result, we provide the database FANCat, affective norms for a set of 1031 French words on ten discrete emotion categories fear, anger, disgust, sadness, anxiety, awe, excitement, contentment, amusement, and serenity. selleck FANCat complement
