A big congratulations to Ryan Hooshiar for his hard work and well-deserved achievements

Hooshiar has presented his work at York University’s Poster Day, the 2025 Conference for Undergraduate Health Research, and the 9th Annual Research Society on Marijuana Conference, where he received the Underrepresented Student Award.

Hooshiar examined how young adults perceive stigma differently for medicinal versus recreational cannabis use, finding greater perceived disapproval for recreational use, even though comfort in disclosing either type of use was similar.

Interestingly, using fewer substances was associated with a higher risk of Internet Gaming Disorder, suggesting a potential substitution effect.

Vasquez Castro's research explored how combinations of substance use relate to gaming motives such as coping, competition, and social connection, as well as to Internet Gaming Disorder.

Hooshiar was also honored with the Underrepresented Student Award at the Annual Research Society on Marijuana Conference! Want to see more photos from the conference? Check out additional photos on our website: www.baclab.org/meet-the-team.
