Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Behavioral Sciences is currently publishing manuscripts for a Special Issue on cannabis and tobacco smoking addiction. This Special Issue will include articles that draw on a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives that will contribute to our understanding of cannabis and tobacco addiction among diverse racial and ethnic groups. We welcome articles that utilize quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-method approaches. Given the focus of the journal, we anticipate that several articles will reflect psychological perspectives; however, we also encourage the submission of articles that draw on multidisciplinary work or integrate individual and structural factors in studies of race, ethnicity, and addiction. Articles that focus on measurement or research design as they relate to race, ethnicity, and addiction would also be of special interest. All articles will be subject to a peer-review procedure. For further information, please contact Zhen Gu, MD, Ph.D. ([email protected]).

The combined use of cannabis and tobacco is frequent in Europe. Few studies have nonetheless explored this pattern of consumption and its relationship with academic achievement in Spanish population. The aim of the present study was to analyze (1) the frequency of four patterns of polydrug use the last year (non-dual users of cannabis and tobacco; concurrent users: cannabis and tobacco separately; simultaneous users: tobacco in cannabis “joints”; simultaneous users: tobacco in cannabis joints alongside alcohol) by gender and age; (2) grade point average (GPA) by gender and age; (3) the association between the frequency of the four patterns of use and the GPA amongst a sample of 477 Spanish university students. The use of cannabis and tobacco (concurrent and simultaneous) and GPA were assessed by means of self-reported questionnaires. Statistically significant differences were found for the GPA with respect to gender. The GPA by the non-dual users of cannabis and tobacco was significantly higher than the GPA corresponding to the concurrent and simultaneous users. The combined use of cannabis and tobacco, regardless of the type of use (concurrent or simultaneous), is moderately related to poor academic achievement amongst university students. Full article
