“…This is different from other large-scale findings of adolescent substance use, which generally show alcohol and tobacco use being predominant (Cleveland, et al, 2010; Connell, et al, 2009). Studies of adult tobacco use and mortality indicate that tobacco use has decreased in California at higher rates than national estimates (Cowling & Yang, 2010; Siegel et al, 2000). This study lends support to similar evidence for adolescents.…”

Data from the California Healthy Kids Survey of 7th, 9th, and 11th graders were used to identify latent classes/clusters of alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use (N=418,702). Analyses revealed four latent classes of substance use which included non-users (61.1%), alcohol experimenters (some recent alcohol use; 22.8%), mild poly-substance users (lifetime use of all substances with less than three days of recent use; 9.2%), and frequent poly-substance users (used all substances three or more times in the past month; 6.9%). The results revealed that alcohol and marijuana use are salient to California adolescents. This information can be used to target and tailor school-based prevention efforts.

Objective To investigate the association of age, period and cohort with the changing pattern of cigarette smoking among youth and young adults for better planning tobacco control in the United States. Methods Age-period-cohort analysis of the 1990-2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health data. Results Rates of lifetime and 30-day smoking for adolescents fluctuated between 1990-96 before they declined; the same rates for young adults progressively increased until 2002 before declining. There were significant cohort effects on changes in the prevalence rates of cigarette smoking. Conclusions The cohort effects on smoking underscore the need for sustained tobacco control policies.

“…(For the presence of history of injury, no specific injury severity scoring, e.g., ISS or diagnostic classification [28], could be uniformly used because different diagnostic methods were in used in the three governorates healthcare systems).Items on substance abuse were structured and phased in the context of "drug dependence" as per the WHO definition [29]. Included in the questionnaires, too, was a list of drugs and substances as per the ICD-10 classification of dependence producing drugs [30], including alcohol, opioids, cannabinoids (hashish or bango), sedatives or hypnotics, cocaine, other stimulants, hallucinogens, volatile solvents and multiple drugs, (tobacco was not included). (Examples of trade names of each drug group that are popular in the Egyptian drug addiction black market for Egyptian drug consumers were provided) [31].…”

Background: Accidents pose a serious threat to health and economy in Egypt. Objectives: To identify and analyze the epidemiological factors associated with different types of accidents among adult males in Upper Egypt. Methods: A sample of 500 Egyptian males 20-28 years of age attending for health care at Quena University Hospital (QUH) or affiliated health institutions in South Egyptian governorates of Luxor and Red Sea was studied. The demographic, socioeconomic, and habitual data, as well as health status, medical history, and history of engagement into accidents for the recruits all were evaluated. Results: Accidents occurrences accounted up to 23/500 (4.6%) of the studied group. Road traffic accidents (RTAs) represented the highest percentage (30.4%), followed by street fights (21.7%) and animal bites (13.1%). Occupational accidents, electrical injuries, and near-drowning, all were equally encountered (8.7%), whereas falls and burns were least prevalent (4.3% each). Drug abuse, manual work, obesity, and having epilepsy were significant risk factors for accident injuries (
