Summary: “This study provides estimates on the prevalence of comorbid alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco use among school adolescents in Liberia and Mauritius. Around one in five students reported using one type of substance, while a smaller percentage reported using two or three types simultaneously. Factors such as gender, age, parental tobacco use, passive smoking, psychological distress, soft drink intake, school truancy, and low parental support were associated with a higher likelihood of comorbid substance use. Interventions targeting comorbid substance use among adolescents should prioritize these identified factors.”
