Study suggests marijuana use drops at beginning of year, then climbs in summer, fall ANI | Updated: Jan 11, 2021 11:37 IST
Washington [US], January 11 (ANI): Marijuana use increases throughout the calendar year, with use up 13 per cent on average at the end of each year (2015-2019) compared to the beginning, according to a new study.
The study was published in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence. We found that marijuana use is consistently higher among those surveyed later in the year, peaking during late fall or early winter before dropping at the beginning of the following year. We think this may be due, in part, to a Dry January in which some people stop drinking alcohol or even stop using marijuana as part of a New Year s resolution, said Joseph Palamar, PhD, MPH, an associate professor of population health at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, an affiliated researcher with the Center for Drug Use and HIV/HCV Research (CDUHR) at NY

Study suggests dating apps don t destroy love ANI | Updated: Jan 02, 2021 13:59 IST
Geneva [Switzerland], January 2 (ANI): A novel study has shown that people who met their partners on dating applications have often stronger long-term relationship goals and that these new ways of meeting people encourage socio-educational and geographical mixing.
Mobile apps have revolutionised the way people meet in Switzerland and elsewhere in recent years. The findings of a recent study indicate that app-formed couples have stronger cohabitation intentions than couples who meet in a non-digital environment.
Unlike traditional dating sites, these apps do not feature detailed user profiles but are largely based on rating photos using a swipe review system. As dating apps escalated in popularity, so has criticism about them encouraging casual dating only, threatening the existence of long-term commitment, and possibly damaging the quality of intimacy.
