Relationship between substance use and schizotypal traits in school-aged adolescents.

CONCLUSION: controlling for the effects of multiple covariates, adolescents who use tobacco and alcohol reported higher scores - depending on frequency of use - in schizotypal traits. Future studies should continue to analyze the role of substance use in individuals at risk of psychosis and determine its role in the transition to serious mental disorders using new methodologies such as ambulatory assessment.
