Abstract
Background
Co-use of cannabis and tobacco poses greater risks than use of either substance individually and may be becoming more prevalent with increasing cannabis medicalization and legalization. We aimed to assess trends in the prevalence of cannabis and tobacco co-use between 2002–2019 and identify the updated prevalence and correlates of co-use in 2021 among US adults.
Methods
This study used data from the 2002–2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, a nationally-representative, cross-sectional survey in the US. We assessed prevalence trends in past 30-day cannabis and tobacco co-use, exclusive cannabis use, and exclusive tobacco use overall and by sociodemographic group using joinpoint regression. Additionally, multinomial models identified correlates of co-use in 2021.
Results
In 2021, the weighted prevalence of cannabis and tobacco co-use was 6.38 %, the weighted prevalence of exclusive cannabis use was 7.28 %, and the weighted prevalence of exclusive tobacco use was 15.01 %. From 2002 to 2019, the prevalence of past 30-day co-use of cannabis and tobacco increased significantly (annual percentage change [APC]: 1.9 [1.4–2.4], P<0.05) among the overall US population. All subgroups of sex, race/ethnicity, and age also saw significant increases in co-use, other than young adults ages 18–25, for whom co-use was stagnant between 2002–2014 and then decreased significantly between 2014–2019.
Conclusion
This study identified increasing cannabis and tobacco co-use overall and among most sociodemographic strata in the US. As cannabis policy changes rapidly, co-use requires closer surveillance, clinical screening, and dedicated research.
期刊介绍：
Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
