Overview

Scoping review uncovers rapid growth in simultaneous alcohol and marijuana use research among young adults, highlighting need to assess acute risks exceeding separate substance use.

Key Points

  • To review and characterize the growing literature on simultaneous alcohol and marijuana use and same-day co-use patterns, correlates, and outcomes among young adults.
  • Conducted a scoping review of peer-reviewed publications examining simultaneous alcohol and marijuana (SAM) use and same-day co-use.
  • Identified and synthesized 74 eligible papers focused on prevalence, psychosocial correlates, and consequences in young adults.
  • Identified 74 total publications meeting inclusion criteria, consisting of 61 papers on SAM use and 13 on same-day co-use.
  • Documented rapid publication growth, with 60 of the 74 included papers (81.1%; 47 SAM, 13 same-day co-use) published within the preceding 5 years.
  • Identified a critical need for future research to isolate the acute risks of simultaneous use that exceed the separate effects of alcohol and marijuana to inform prevention.
