Overview

Baseline findings show youth with substance use disorder have more severe depression and anxiety, suggesting integrated care can address mental health issues.

Key Points

  • Youth with substance use disorder showed more severe depressive and anxiety symptoms, and lower quality of life.
  • Participants with current substance use disorder had higher alcohol-related problems and frequency of cannabis use.
  • Analysis involved 79 participants aged 12–25 with mental illness seeking mental healthcare at headspace in Australia.
  • Findings highlight the importance of integrated care models to mitigate the impacts of co-occurring mental health issues.
