To examine the relationship between substance use—specifically alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco—and diagnoses or treatments for depression and anxiety among Canadian post-secondary students.
Analyzed cross-sectional data from 43,780 college students across 41 Canadian institutions using the spring 2016 American College Health Association - National College Health Assessment II (ACHA-NCHA II) survey.
Evaluated self-reported alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco use as exposures, and diagnosis or treatment for depression or anxiety as outcomes, using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models.
Demonstrated statistically significant associations between depression and both tobacco use and cannabis use (p < 0.001).
Identified a statistically significant association between anxiety and alcohol use among post-secondary students (p < 0.001).
