Waterpipe use in adolescents in Northern Sweden: Association with mental well-being and risk and health behaviours.

CONCLUSIONS: Waterpipe use in adolescents is associated with worse mental well-being, as well as use of other nicotine products, alcohol and narcotics. Prospective studies are needed to delineate causal and temporal relationships further between waterpipe use and mental well-being and its relationship to other risky behaviours in order to design effective prevention programs.
