According to a 2024 study examining substance use trajectories among emerging adult Black men (n=504), three distinct patterns emerged: non-using (39.9%), cannabis-using (40.1%), and poly-substance using (20%).

Black adolescents with high vulnerability—characterized by high risk and low protective factors—had significantly higher odds of alcohol and tobacco use than those with moderate vulnerability.
