... Fortunately, biomedical ontologies contain authoritative, expert-curated representations of entities and relationships between those entities that are exploitable by computer programs. Causal knowledge in these ontologies has been used to inform causal models in AD research 35 and elsewhere [36][37][38][39][40] . This knowledge could be used to filter out erroneous assertions from machine reading. ...

... Indeed, recent increases in mainstream media coverage of adverse effects of cannabis use among adolescents and young adults has reignited concerns over problems such as psychosis and cannabis hyperemesis [8][9][10][11][12], which are known to be associated with frequent or chronic use [13,14]. Furthermore, a recent study on the effects of cannabis legalization in the US found that cannabis legalization led to significantly higher risk of self-reported past-year cannabis use among a sample of 10-20 year old youth [15]. ...

... Second, as a result of the low retention rate, the sample size of the study was relatively small, which prevented us from capturing a sufficient number of participants who only experienced IPV three years after childbirth but not before pregnancy, during pregnancy, or 4 weeks after childbirth. Future studies are suggested to explore the experience of this group of women, as partners may generally be less physically violent because it can harm the baby [46], while emotional IPV may not decrease [47]. Lastly, our results may not be generalizable to other contexts, as various cultural and ethnic factors may lead to different attitudes toward IPV. ...

... Although it is possible that women's assertions of sexual agency threaten men's sense of masculinity leading to additional coercion and violence, it can be argued that instilling beliefs of gender equality in early childhood sexual education would attenuate these feelings of threat among men in adulthood. In sum, although sexual communication in general can enhance sexual pleasure and emotional intimacy between partners (Mallory et al., 2019;Wilson et al., 2020), communication of sexual consent withdrawal could also be discussed as enhancing or signifying healthy sexual relationships and sexual pleasure. This study offers further support for the inclusion of sexual pleasure in education as a way of promoting ongoing consent communication during sexual encounters. ...

... at the level of the encounter, which could augment our ecological understanding of how different dimensions of internal and external consent are experienced together. Latent class or profile analyses have been used to better understand the characteristics of unwanted sexual experiences (e.g., French et al., 2014;Walsh et al., 2021a) and sexual risk behaviors (e.g., Danielson et al., 2014;Vasilenko et al., 2015), but to our knowledge has not been applied to consent feelings and behaviors during a consensual encounter. We also examined how these profiles relate to individual, interpersonal, and event-related characteristics. ...

... One such study utilizing Danish health records linked an increase in cannabis-induced psychosis since 2006 to an increase in both frequency of use and THC concentration over time [77]. A recent study using NESARC and NESARC-III data showed that participants reporting that a doctor or other health professional told them they had schizophrenia or a psychotic episode were more likely to be frequent cannabis users and have a current CUD diagnosis than other participants [103]. ...

... Two studies found no difference in attitudes and beliefs concerning DUIC between residents of U.S. states with medical cannabis legalization and those without. 33,70 Three studies found an association between legalization and greater self-reported DUIC, 33,34,47 with 1 study noting that the finding was not consistent across all time periods and states, 47 whereas a fourth study found lower self-reported DUIC associated with retail sales. 35 Positive cannabis, alcohol, and other drug tests among drivers and patients with trauma. ...

... We use Single World Intervention Graphs (SWIGs) to represent the assumptions about the underlying process that produces outcomes under a grace period strategy (Richardson and Robins, 2013). SWIGS, unlike more traditional causal directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), explicitly depict counterfactual variables which makes them better suited for reasoning about exchangeability conditions, which directly concern counterfactual independencies (Shpitser et al., 2020;Sarvet et al., 2020). SWIGs are particularly illuminating in the case of treatment strategies that depend on natural treatment values, such as the natural grace period treatment strategies we consider here, allowing explicit depiction of both natural (e.g. ...

... These changes in the socio-demographic profile of people who use cannabis may result in shifts over time in the proportion of people who use cannabis who go on to develop CUD [73]. For example, recent studies suggest that older adults who use cannabis are increasingly less likely to develop CUD than young adults [69••], whereas those with chronic pain who use cannabis, for which cannabis is often taken medicinally, are increasingly more likely to develop CUD [111]. Although evidence is currently unclear as to how CUD prevalence may be a function of changes in the demographic makeup of people who use cannabis, it is possible that such changes may influence rates of CUD and, consequently, CUD treatment utilization trends. ...

... It was surprising that lower-income individuals, those with lower educational attainment, and individuals with no health insurance were less likely to be exposed to CME, given that these individuals are more likely to report current cannabis use. 24 They may have been more likely to live in T A B L E 3 Linear and logistic regression models of associations of cannabis marketing exposure with attitudes and use behavior in the full sample. rural areas, and thus less likely to be exposed to outdoor marketing, as marketing tends to cluster in densely populated areas. ...
