    A total of 158 adults participated, with mean alcohol and cannabis use severity scores of 16.29 and 15.49, respectively, and mean CSBD and PPU scores of 21.14 and 6.99.

    Unadjusted regression models indicated that increases in alcohol and cannabis use severity were associated with increases in CSBD and PPU scores.

  • 4

    After controlling for age and gender, no significant associations were found between alcohol or cannabis use severity and CSBD or PPU outcomes.

    The findings suggest that sociodemographic differences may explain the associations, highlighting the need for further longitudinal studies.
