Concurrent Alcohol and Opioid Intoxication in Emergency Department Patients Leads to Greater Resource Utilization
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that mental health disorders, socioeconomic status, and increased ED utilization are associated with co-intoxication of opioids and alcohol presenting to the ED. Further research is needed to elucidate factors responsible for the increased resource use in this population.PMID:38192231 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2023.2294963 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)

Diphenhydramine-involved Fatal and Nonfatal Drug Overdoses in Tennessee, 2019-2022
CONCLUSION: Nonfatal overdoses remained consistent while fatal overdoses peaked in 2021 in Tennessee. Use of DPH among other illicit substances lends to evidence suggesting its use as an adulterant. Monitoring of DPH-involved fatal and nonfatal overdoses is critical to inform harm reduction initiatives.PMID:38189325 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2023.2280542 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)

First Used Nicotine/Cannabis Product and Associated Outcomes in Late Adolescents
CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents and young adults who use nicotine may be at increased risk for greater nicotine use and mental health consequences, but initiating NTP use simultaneously with cannabis may not increase the risk of negative outcomes above and beyond nicotine initiation. Prospective longitudinal research is needed to establish temporal associations between first-used NTP/cannabis products and relevant outcomes.PMID:38170177 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2023.2294975 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)
