​

Summary of the research study: The use of tobacco, alcohol and cannabis is at an all time high in India and every year millions of youths take up one or more of these three drugs. Polysubstance use, or concurrent/ simultaneous  use of the two or more substances at a time presents higher risks of progression to dependence/ addiction and also negative consequences related to the subjects. This study is an exploration of risk factors at individual, interpersonal and social levels that influence substance use initiation and polysubstance use during young adulthood (18-28 years). Procedures of the study approved by Research Conduct and Ethics Committee (RCEC), Center for Research, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore (CU:RCEC/00256/12/21)
