“…Previous research has similarly shown that depressive symptoms are more frequent among adolescents of higher SEP (Zhou et al, 2018), while for adults the opposite is usually the case (Jimenez-Molina et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2022). On the other hand, while many studies report that substance use is inversely associated with SEP (Aschengrau et al, 2021;Lemstra et al, 2008;Torikka et al, 2017), there are some that, like ours, report a direct association (Martins-Oliveira et al, 2016). This could be due to the alcohol purchasing capacity of those with of higher SEP (Obradors-Rial et al, 2018), to different substance use-related social conventions, or to socialization practices (Foxcroft et al, 2022).…”

“…Added to this, lockdown and other stressors may have increased domestic violence, which could in turn cause mental health problems among young people (Marques et al, 2020). This could have exacerbated the effect of known social determinants of mental health problems among young persons, such as age (Jaisoorya et al, 2016; Patrick & Schulenberg, 2013), gender (Barbosa Filho et al, 2012; Magson et al, 2021), SEP (Aschengrau et al, 2021; Jorge et al, 2018), occupation (Gariepy et al, 2022), and experiences of violence (Dunn et al, 2012). As some of these social determinants may have changed during the pandemic, they may also explain the differences in the prevalence of mental health problems between pandemic periods.…”

BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that the mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic were stronger during the first months of it. It has also been proposed that those impacts depended on gender and other social determinants. AIMS: We aim to describe the change in prevalence of mental health problems (symptoms of common mental disorders [CMD], alcohol, and drug use) between two time periods during the pandemic, and the association of mental health problems with social determinants, in adolescents and young adults in Mexico. METHODS: We conducted a repeated cross-section analysis of data from VoCes-19, an online survey in November 2020 to February 2021 and November 2021 to March 2022 (combined n = ×224,099). We assessed the change in the prevalence of mental health problems, the differences in prevalence and change in the prevalence by gender, and the association of social determinants and pandemic-related variables with mental health problems, by means of multivariate regression models. RESULTS: The prevalence of CMD decreased (46.0% vs. 42.4%), while the prevalence of alcohol (frequent use 8.4% vs. 10.3%) and drug use (4.6% vs. 7.7%) increased. The three conditions increased more among girls/young women and trans/queer/non-binary participants than among boys/young men. CONCLUSIONS: The results point to the importance of considering the gendered social context of young people. A better understanding of the social circumstances that relate with mental health is required to inform interventions for these age groups.

“…Also, the deficient economic condition makes it difficult to purchase oral care products, such as toothpaste and dental floss, generating greater treatment needs, and a worse perception of their oral health (Moor et al, 2017). In addition, when relating socioeconomic conditions to substance use, the literature shows that there is evidence that young people from economically disadvantaged neighborhoods and children of parents with a lower level of education are more likely to experiment with illicit drugs at an early age (Aschengrau et al, 2021). On the other hand, the literature shows that excessive alcohol consumption among adolescents is associated with high family income, which may explain the lack of association between this habit and worse levels of OHRQoL (Silva et al, 2021).…”

ObjectiveTo assess the impact of the consumption of licit and illicit substances on the oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) of adolescents from public schools in the south of Brazil.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was carried out with a random sample of adolescents aged between 17 and 18 years old from Santa Maria, Brazil. The consumption of licit and illicit substances was measured through a self‐administered questionnaire with questions from the National Survey of Scholar Health. The OHRQoL was collected using the Brazilian short version of Child Perceptions Questionnaire 11‐14 (CPQ11‐14). Multilevel Poisson regression models were used to estimate the association between the outcome and the explanatory variables where the adolescents (first level) were nested in their schools (second level).ResultsA total of 768 adolescents were evaluated. Of these, about 15.6% have already used illegal substances. Adolescents who reported the use of illicit substances had 28% higher CPQ11‐14 scores when compared to their counterparts. Alcohol use was also related to worse levels of OHRQoL, while the consumption of cigarettes acted as a protective factor.ConclusionsThis study found an association between the use of alcohol and illicit drugs with worse levels of OHRQoL.

“… 8 Furthermore, social determinants such as strain family relationships, 7 low maternal education levels, non-white-collar parental occupations, economic hardships within the community, and high poverty and unemployment levels at 18 years are the risk factors for drug use in adolescence. 10 In the school environment, adolescents who experience or perpetrate bullying demonstrate a higher prevalence of substance use. 9 …”

BACKGROUND: Adolescence is characterized by complex and dynamic changes, often involving experimentation, including the use of psychotropic substances. Although it is well-established that recreational psychotropic drugs are associated with suicide ideation in adults, evidence of this association in adolescents remains limited. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between suicide ideation and psychotropic recreational drug use among adolescents. DESIGN AND SETTING: Systematic review with meta-analysis developed at Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU) and Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. METHODS: A search across eight electronic databases for observational studies, without language or publication year restrictions, was conducted. The Joanna Briggs Institute tool was used to assess the risk of bias. Random-effects meta-analyses and odds ratios were used to measure the effects. RESULTS: The search yielded 19,732 studies, of which 78 were included in the qualitative synthesis and 32 in the meta-analysis. The findings indicated that suicidal ideation was 1.96 times more likely (95% confidence interval, CI = 1.47; 2.61) for adolescents who used some drug recurrently and 3.32 times more likely (95%CI = 1.86; 5.93) among those who abused drugs. Additionally, adolescents who used cannabis were 1.57 times more likely (95%CI = 1.34; 1.84) to experience suicide ideation compared with non-users, while cocaine users had 2.57 times higher odds (95%CI = 1.47; 4.50). CONCLUSIONS: Psychotropic recreational drug use is associated with suicidal ideation among adolescents regardless of current or previous use, abuse, or type of substance used.
