Article Abstract
Objective: This study aims to describe the accessibility to and promotion of alcohol and tobacco around secondary schools in Madrid and its distribution in relation with area-level socioeconomic deprivation; analyze the relationship between this exposure and individual consumption characteristics of students between 14 and 18 years old; and explore other facilitators of this consumption.
Method: Mixed-methods study conducted in three phases: 1) we collected data on accessibility to and promotion of alcohol and tobacco in the environment using systematic social observation around 55 secondary schools; 2) we administered 2287 questionnaires among the students in these centers to gather information about characteristics and determinants of consumption; and 3) we conducted 20 semi-structured interviews and one discussion group to deepen in the results obtained in surveys and systematic social observation. We will use Geographic Information Systems to integrate and analyze the data from a spatial perspective.

Same-group and independent group comparisons within and across school grades, intervention years, and jurisdictions were conducted in a quasi-experimental design.
Substance use runs in families. Beyond genetic transmission, parental genetics can indirectly influence offspring substance use through the rearing environment, known as "genetic nurture". This study utilized transmitted and non-transmitted polygenic scores to investigate genetic nurture effects on tobacco, alcohol and cannabis use in up to 15,863 adults with at least one genotyped parent from the Lifelines cohort.

The current study assessed differences in cannabis use patterns and alcohol and nicotine co-use by select demographic factors and medical cannabis status, as well as associations with problem cannabis use, among adults over 50.
Method: Adults over age 50 who used cannabis use in the past 30 days were recruited from a healthcare system and invited to complete an online survey.
