PhD researcher Jack Chung from #NCYSUR found an increase in the consumption of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, and synthetic cannabinoids among youth in the U.S. between 2021 and 2023. Additional information is available at https://t.co/mHEAGbzLVH.

Our new report out today, reports on 1,100+ alcohol ads pushed through our social media feeds each month. We show how alcohol ads are no longer just ads – they are the store front to bottle shops that look to rapidly convert ad exposure into alcohol sale. https://t.co/5YuHgqpGSR

Our new paper explores adolescent cannabis & alcohol use patterns, pre & mid-pandemic. Greater alcohol consumption and likelihood of cannabis use among the cohort who completed Yr 12 during 2020 might be explained by impacts of the pandemic lockdowns 😷📃 https://t.co/W1CMKgrO6m

We proposed several ways to combat covert e-cig marketing on social media platforms. ⬇️
