IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 3423: Time Trends in the Co-use of Cannabis and the Misuse of Tranquilizers, Sedatives and Sleeping Pills among Young Adults in Spain between 2009 and 2015 International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health doi: 10.3390/ijerph16183423 Authors: Domingo Palacios-Ceña Isabel Jiménez-Trujillo Valentín Hernández-Barrera Lidiane Lima Florencio Pilar Carrasco-Garrido The aims of this study were: (a) to estimate time trends in the prevalence of the co-use of cannabis and other cannabis-based products (CBP) with the misuse of tranquilizers, sedatives, and sleeping pills (TSSp) between 2009 and 2015; and (b) to identify the factors associated with the probability of the co-use of CBP with TSSp misuse during this period among Spanish younger adults (15–34 years old). We analyzed data collected from the Spanish National Surveys on Alcohol and Other Drugs (EDADES) in 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015. CBP co-use with TSSp misuse were the dependent variables. We also analyzed sociodemographic features, self-perceived health status, lifestyle habits, perceived health risk of consumption, and perceived availability of substance using logistic regression models. The prevalence of CBP co-use with TSSp misuse has decreased in Spain. The factors associated with co-use were a lack of education (OR 2.34), alcohol (OR 7.2), tobacco (OR 6.3) and other illicit psychoactive drug (OR 6.5) consumption, perceived non-health risk for the con...
