Predictors and Consequences of Simultaneous Alcohol and Cannabis Use in Adolescents

Background/Aims: The simultaneous use of alcohol and cannabis is common among adolescents, but has been little studied. In this study, we examine predictors and consequences of this behavior in a population-based sample of high school students. Method: Self-reports were obtained from students in Quebec (Canada) followed throughout high school (N=6589). Logistic regressions were used to test the association between individual, family, and peerrelated predictors in grades 7–8 and simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use in grade 10, as well as between simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use in grade 10 and experiencing 3 or more substance-related problems of various types (legal, physical, etc.) in grade 11. Results: Most predictors in grades 7–8 were associated with simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use in grade 10. Only variables reflecting early-onset substance use involvement — alcohol intoxication, cannabis use, and drug use by close friend(s) — remained predictive in a multivariate model. Simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use was associated with increased substance-related problems in grade 11, above and beyond baseline problems and the concurrent use of the two substances in separate episodes in grade 10. Conclusions: Simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use 1) is anticipated by multiple psychosocial risk factors which come together with individual and peer substance use in early high school and 2) is independently predictive of subsequent substance-related problems. Providing adolescents with adequate information regarding the potential harm of simultaneous use may be a useful prevention strategy.

Le journalisme informatique au Québec : Expansion du journalisme ou nouveau territoire professionnel?

Le journalisme informatique est une pratique émergente qui consiste en l’emploi de méthodes et d’outils empruntés au domaine de l’informatique dans la cueillette, le traitement, l’analyse ou la présentation en ligne de l’information, dans le respect des valeurs fondamentales du journalisme (Diakopoulos, 2010). Cette recherche caractérise le journalisme informatique tel qu’il se pratique au Québec en 2015 au moyen d’une série d’entrevues semi-dirigées avec 30 participants : des praticiens, bien sûr, mais aussi des responsables des principales entreprises de presse où le journalisme informatique est pratiqué ou a été pratiqué, ainsi que des professionnels de l’informatique afin d’avoir un point de vue extérieur. Elle met notamment en relief deux attitudes à l’égard de cette pratique, attitudes qui s’expriment par un travail-frontière. Il y a, d’une part, les tenants d’une ségrégation entre le journalisme et l’informatique, et, d’autre part, les partisans d’une hybridation entre les deux disciplines. Pour ces derniers, le journalisme informatique occupe un territoire professionnel distinct, à la frontière du journalisme et de l’informatique. Cette recherche décrit de façon détaillée les motivations, les compétences et les activités des journalistes informatiques québécois et fait valoir qu’ils participent à une certaine « re-professionnalisation » du journalisme.

Regulating Workplace Risks: A Comparative Study of Inspection Regimes in Times of Change

Regulating Workplace Risks is a study of regulatory inspection of occupational health and safety (OHS) and its management in five countries – Australia, Canada (Québec), France, Sweden and the UK – during a time of major change. It examines the implications of the shift from specification to process based regulation, in which attention has been increasingly directed to the means of managing OHS more systematically at a time in which a major restructuring of work has occurred in response to the globalised economy. These changes provide both the context and material for a wider discussion of the nature of regulation and regulatory inspection and their role in protecting the health, safety and well-being of workers in advanced market economies.
