If parents suffered from substance use disorders, what about their children?
Sample: 1 093 225 subjects born between 1981 and 1990.
The subjects were followed from birth until they reached age 35. The sample excluded those who died or received psychiatric diagnoses before age 18.
Showed: 4% of the subjects had parents suffered from substance use disorders (e.g., drugs or alcohol). 14% of the subjects received some kind of psychiatric diagnosis between the ages of 18 and 35. Having a parent with a substance use disorder increases the risk of developing a mental disorder in men by 80% and in women by 56% compared to families where the parents did not have substance use disorders. Factors such as poverty were taken into account. The study does not establish causality. The causes may include genetics and the general living environment.

On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change. For example, WhatsApp restricted the number of times a user could forward something, and developed automated systems that detect and flag objectionable content. On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had carried out a similar exercise in 2017 in a matter related to circulation of messages through WhatsApp. Update March 8, 2022: EFF has clarified that Channels and Groups are not fully encrypted, end-to-end, updated our post to link to Telegram’s FAQ for Cloud and Secret chats, updated to clarify that auto-delete is available for group and channel admins, and added some additional links.
