Objective
The goal of the present study was to evaluate the association between the use of different substances and the risk of substance use disorder (SUD) while accounting for polysubstance use.
Findings/Key points
Heroin and methamphetamine were associated with the highest risk of SUD across all analyses. In contrast, hallucinogens and inhalants were consistently identified as having the lowest risk. The present results confirm that certain substances appear to have an inherently greater association with SUD compared to other substances.
Design/methods
Data from the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (n = 58,034, unweighted) were used.
