Abstract

The comorbidity of substance use disorders with mood, anxiety, conduct and antisocial personality disorders is studied using the resources of the International Consortium in Psychiatric Epidemiology. Results show a strong correlation between psychiatric disorders and substance abuse. A continuum in the magnitude of comorbidity as a function of the spectrum of substance and a link between the number of comorbid disoders and substance abuse severity were also observed.

Abstract

A study was conducted on the association between the timing of onset of drug use and progression to drug-related problems and the number of geographic moves before the age of 16 in a sample of 3,700 young adults. Positive relationships were found between moving and early initiation of illegal drugs such as hallucinogens, marijuana cocaine and other prescribed drugs. Males who moved around a lot were more likely to engage in early drug use than females.
