“…For example, results from the 2015 cycle of the US Youth Risk Behaviour Surveillance System show lifetime and past-month prevalence rates of cannabis use of 38.6% and 21.7%, respectively. 21 Although a recent report indicated that cannabis use in Ontario decreased over the past 2 decades, from 28.0% in 1999 to 21.3% in 2015, 12 there have been increases in heavy use. For example, the prevalence of daily or near-daily use among adults in the US rose from 1.9% in 2002 to 3.5% in 2015.…”

“…4 Its use is associated with the top 4 leading causes of morbidity and mortality among teens. 5 For YCMC, alcohol use may play a substantial unrecognized role in exacerbating morbidity and increasing health care costs. Although chronic diseases are heterogeneous, YCMC who use alcohol face the potential for negative alcohol interactions (AI) with medications 6 and laboratory tests, treatment adherence, self-care, and underlying disease status.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Adolescents face peak risks for onset and intensification of alcohol and marijuana use. However, we know little about these behaviors and their associations with knowledge or treatment adherence among chronically ill youth, a medically vulnerable group.METHODS: Cross-sectional assessment of consented youth ages 9 to 18 years receiving care for asthma/cystic fibrosis, type 1 diabetes, arthritis, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by using a self-administered online tool. Prevalence and correlates of risk behaviors and associations with knowledge and treatment adherence were estimated using descriptive statistics and logistic regression, controlling for demographics, mental health, and the multiclinic sampling frame.RESULTS: Of 403 consented youth (75.8% response), 51.6% were girls, 75.1% were white, and average age was 15.6 years. Of high school youth, 36.5% and 12.7% reported past-year alcohol use and binge drinking, respectively; 20% reported past-year marijuana use. Among high school youth, 53.1% and 37.2% answered correctly that alcohol can interfere with their medications and laboratory tests; youth answering incorrectly were 8.53 and 4.46 times more likely to drink and binge drink, respectively (P values , .001). Thirty-two percent and 8.3% of high school youth reported regularly forgetting or skipping their medications in the past 30 days; compared with past-year nondrinking youth, drinkers were 1.79 and 1.61 times as likely to report regularly missing or skipping medications (P values , .05).CONCLUSIONS: Alcohol and marijuana use are common among youth with chronic medical conditions. Alcohol use is associated with treatment nonadherence. Education and preventive interventions are warranted to ameliorate risk. WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT:Increasing percentages of youth are living with chronic medical conditions. Although adolescents face peak risks for onset and intensification of alcohol and marijuana use, we know little about these behaviors and their associations with treatment adherence among chronically ill youth. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:This study quantifies alcohol and marijuana use behaviors among a heterogeneous sample of chronically ill youth in aggregate and by condition, and measures associations between alcohol use/binge drinking and knowledge about alcohol interactions with medications/laboratory tests and also treatment nonadherence.

“…1 -4 The adverse health consequences of cigarette smoking and marijuana use have been documented, 5,6 with more severe and persistent negative outcomes seen when use is initiated during adolescence and when both substances are used. 1,7,8 Although adolescent cigarette smoking has declined significantly over the past decade, 9 approximately one-third of US adolescents report currently using at least 1 tobacco product, an increase of 35% since 2011. 9 This increase is attributable to the use of alternative nicotinedelivery products, such as electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and hookah.…”

OBJECTIVES: Noncigarette tobacco products may confer a risk of marijuana use similar to combustible cigarettes. We examined whether adolescent electronic cigarette (e-cigarette), hookah, or combustible cigarette use is associated with initiating and currently using marijuana as well as using both tobacco and marijuana concurrently. METHODS:Adolescents from 10 public schools in Los Angeles, California, completed in-classroom surveys at baseline (fall 2013, ninth grade) and at a 24-month follow-up (fall 2015, 11th grade). Among adolescents who never used marijuana at baseline (N = 2668), associations of baseline e-cigarette, hookah, or combustible cigarette use with ever marijuana use (initiation), current marijuana use (past 30 days), and current dual use of marijuana and these tobacco products at the 24-month follow-up were examined. RESULTS:Baseline ever versus never e-cigarette use was associated with initiation (odds ratio [OR] 3.63; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.69-4.90) and current (OR 3.67; 95% CI 2.51-5.36) marijuana use 24 months later. Ever versus never hookah use was associated with initiation (OR 3.55; 95% CI 2.49-5.08) and current (OR 4.10; 95% CI 2.69-6.25) marijuana use 24 months later. Similar associations were observed for combustible cigarette smoking and initiation (OR 4.30;) and current use of marijuana (OR 1.97; 95% CI 1.05-3.68). Current use of any of these tobacco products at baseline was associated with current use of both tobacco and marijuana (OR 2.28; 95% CI 1.47-3.55) 24 months later. CONCLUSIONS:The association between tobacco use and subsequent marijuana use across adolescence extends to multiple tobacco products. abstract NIH
