Exciting to see this paper published! Grad student Luke Vargo lead this test of the interactive effects of distress intolerance, anxiety sensitivity (AS), & s*x on alcohol outcomes, finding that distress intolerance was related to greater binge drinking frequency among men with lower AS, and among women with higher AS. Results highlight the important role of s*x in alcohol-related behaviors. Great work!

Grad student publication alert! Luke Vargo just had his SECOND 1st authored paper accepted for publication! In this one, we found a significant s*x X distress intolerance X anxiety sensitivity (AS) interaction, such that distress intolerance was related to greater binge drinking frequency for men with lower AS, and for women with higher levels of AS.

Great news! A second paper using LSU Ogden Honors College alum Amelia Knox's honors thesis data has been accepted for publication! This is the first known study to test whether imposter syndrome is related to cannabis outcomes - we found that it was related to more cannabis-related problems & this relation occurred via social anxiety & coping motivated use. Importantly, although imposter syndrome & social anxiety were related, the magnitude of the effect suggests they are distinct constructs. Great work, team!
