Substance use patterns through early adulthood: results for youth with and without chronic conditions.
As there have been no nationally representative studies of substance use during this period for these medically vulnerable youth, the authors examined onset and intensification of these behaviors for a national sample of youth with and without chronic conditions. Youth with chronic medical conditions (YCMC) were more likely to engage in any and heavier substance use; transition years and early adulthood were periods of peak risk for YCMC compared with their healthy peers.
