Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the prevalence of tobacco smoking (22.2%) and illicit drug use (11.8%) among Dutch adolescents hospitalized for acute alcohol intoxication from 2007 to 2017.
- It identifies socio-demographic predictors for smoking and drug use, such as parental guidelines regarding alcohol, educational level, family structure, and prior drug screening.
- The findings also highlight that lower blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is associated with illicit drug use, which is essential for healthcare professionals in diagnosing and implementing preventive strategies for adolescent substance abuse.
Adolescents with substance use disorders are often diagnosed with co-occurring mental disorders. However, it is unknown if adolescent hospital admission for acute alcohol intoxication is also associated with co-occurring mental disorders. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of co-occurring mental disorders among Dutch adolescents admitted for acute alcohol intoxication.
