Sammanfattning
Adolescent who use cannabis, also drink alcohol frequently. This article illustrates
how risky alcohol consumption among adolescents entering treatment
at the Maria clinics in Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö for abuse of
cannabis, is related to drug use patterns and to different background and risk
factors. The study is based on structured interviews with 887 adolescents
and the analysis distinguishes nine different risk factors that are strongly
related to their combined use of cannabis and alcohol. A conclusion is that it
is important to pay attention to adolescents risky alcohol consumption and, if
necessary, also providing specific interventions targeting alcohol problems.
