Transitions from first substance use to substance use disorders in adolescence: Is early onset associated with a rapid escalation?
TL;DR: Higher age of onset of any SU is found to be associated with faster transitions to SUD, except for cannabis dependence, which may have important implications for designing early and targeted interventions to prevent disorder progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Socioeconomic differences in alcohol-attributable mortality compared with all-cause mortality: a systematic review and
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated factors underlying socioeconomic inequalities in mortality and found that lower socioeconomic status leads to 1.5-2 times higher mortality for alcohol-attributable causes compared with all causes.
