Abstract

Objective: Simultaneous substance use is associated with worse outcomes than concurrent use. Further investigations into simultaneous use are warranted because there is limited knowledge about the co-use of substances other than alcohol and cannabis. Study aims were to examine: (1) the prevalence of simultaneous use of substances with alcohol, (2) the extent to which use patterns are related to key correlates (i.e., psychological functioning, sensation seeking), and (3) differences by college status. Methods: Participants were 623 young adult drinkers who were recruited online to complete a one-time survey. Results: Cannabis (54.3%), tobacco (53.7%), and stimulants (46.5%) were most frequently used with alcohol. Moderation analyses showed the positive association between simultaneous use and psychological distress was stronger for students whereas the positive association with sensation seeking was stronger for nonstudents. Conclusions: Results highlight the need for future research and intervention efforts that consider the link between simultaneous use and psychological wellbeing while acknowledging that educational attainment may differentially influence these factors.

以社区为基础的青少年样本中同时使用酒精类药物的情况。

目的：与同时使用药物相比，同时使用药物会导致更严重的后果。由于对酒精和大麻以外的其他物质的同时使用情况了解有限，因此有必要对同时使用情况进行进一步调查。研究目的是考察：(1) 同时使用与酒精有关的物质的普遍程度；(2) 使用模式与主要相关因素（即心理功能、寻求感觉）的关联程度；(3) 不同大学状况下的差异。研究方法：参与者为 623 名年轻的成年饮酒者，他们是通过网络招募来完成一次性调查的。调查结果显示最常与酒精同时使用的是大麻（54.3%）、烟草（53.7%）和兴奋剂（46.5%）。调节分析表明，学生同时饮酒与心理压力之间的正相关更强，而非学生同时饮酒与寻求感觉之间的正相关更强。结论：研究结果突出表明，未来的研究和干预工作需要考虑同时使用药物与心理健康之间的联系，同时承认教育程度可能会对这些因素产生不同的影响。

期刊介绍： Journal of Dual Diagnosis is a quarterly, international publication that focuses on the full spectrum of complexities regarding dual diagnosis. The co-occurrence of mental health and substance use disorders, or “dual diagnosis,” is one of the quintessential issues in behavioral health. Why do such high rates of co-occurrence exist? What does it tell us about risk profiles? How do these linked disorders affect people, their families, and the communities in which they live? What are the natural paths to recovery? What specific treatments are most helpful and how can new ones be developed? How can we enhance the implementation of evidence-based practices at clinical, administrative, and policy levels? How can we help clients to learn active recovery skills and adopt needed supports, clinicians to master new interventions, programs to implement effective services, and communities to foster healthy adjustment? The Journal addresses each of these perplexing challenges.
