Q

What are the stengths and limitations of descriptive ?

A
  • Strengths: not intrusive; best when using population-based samples vs convenience
  • Limitations: not looking at cause and effect; limited to quanitifying single variables

Q

What are the stengths and limitations of case-study ?

16
Q

What are the strengths and limitations of observational/correlational ?

A
  • Strengths: ask about experiences, basic understanding of correlation, confounds/third-variables
  • Limitations: cannot conclude cause-effect
17
Q

What are the strengths and limitations of quasi-experimental ?

A
  • Strengths: more control over factors
  • Limitations: cannot conclude cause-effect, altering persons experiences
18
Q

What are the strengths and limitations of experimental ?

A
  • Strengths: can make cause-effect conclusion
  • Limitations: may not translate to real world
19
Q

What are variables ?

A

A quality that differs and can take different values

20
Q

What are independent variables ?

A

A variable that influences another variable

what is manipulated

21
Q

What are dependent variables ?

A

the variable that is influenced by the independent variable

what we measure

22
Q

What are common independent variables ?

A
  • Substance exposure
  • Risk factors- psychological, social, cultural, and biological factors that increase risk
  • Protective factors- less studied, focused on decreasing risk
23
Q

What are treatment and intervention effects ?

A
  • Decrease risk factors
  • Increase protective factors
  • Examine individual or population outcomes
24
Q

What are common manipulators ?

A
  • Exposure to substance in the laboratory
  • Exposure to risk or protective factors
  • Provide an intervention or treatment
25
Q

What are the types of exposure to substance ?

A
  • Oral
  • Inhalation
  • Transdermal
  • Intravenous
26
Q

What are common dependent variables ?

A
  • Substance use and addictive behaviours vs addiction
  • Short-term vs long-term impacts
27
Q

What are the methods for measuring outcomes ?

A
  • Self-report or other informant report
  • Behavioral observation
  • Tests ( e.g: cognitive )
  • Neuroimaging methods
  • Biomarkers
28
Q

What are the strength and limitations of self-report method ?

A
  • Strengths: easy and quick
  • Limitations: social desirability bias, memory, requires awareness
29
Q

What are the strength and limitations of behavioural observation method ?

A
  • Strength: less subject to reporting biases, directly related to outcomes of interest
  • Limitations: ecological validity and limited ability to observe certain outcomes
30
Q

What are the strengths and limitations of tests ?

A
  • Strengths: less subject to reporting biases
  • Limitations: ecological validity and may not relate strongly to behaviours of interest
31
Q

What are the strengths and limitations of neuroimaging ?

A
  • Strength: quanitfy change or patterns of brain activity
  • Limitations: indirect measures of drug effects on brain and require specialized and expensive eqiupment
32
Q

What are the strengths and limitations of biomarkers ?

A
  • Strengths: objective way of quantifying risk or exposure
  • Limitations: can be costly and time consuming depending on biomaker and many are still indirect measures of drug exposure and do not quanitfy amount of substance that crosses blood-brain barriers to produce psychoactive effects
33
Q

What is included in participate selection ?

A
  • Inclusion and exclusion criteria ( substance history and demographics )
  • Human vs animal
34
Q

What are the Belmont principles ?

A
  • Respect for Persons
  • Deception and debreifing
  • Beneficence
  • Justice
35
Q

What is Respect for Persons ?

A

Protecting the autonomy of all people and protecting those with reduced autonomy

36
Q

What is under Beneficence ?

A
  • Do no harm
  • Minimize risks to participants and maximize benefits of findings
  • Consider “Is there a way to obtain the same knowledge but with lower risk to participants?”
37
Q

What is under Justice ?

A
  • Fair distribution of burdens and benefits of research
  • Concerns who is selected as participants and who ultimately benefits
38
Q

What are additional considerations ?

A
  • Privacy: protecting the person
  • Confidentiality: protexting the data that participants provide
  • Conflicts of interest - financial or personal considerations can compromise researcher’s ability to conduct or report findings from research
