Description
Gemy Kuriakose and co-authors review substance use with co occurring mental illness in North American youth in this 2026 paper. Trauma, psychiatric symptoms, and social hardship cluster with drug and alcohol problems in this age group. The review follows PRISMA rules and was registered in advance. Four databases plus Google Scholar were searched.
Eligible studies covered people aged 25 or younger in North America. From 1,882 records, the team selected studies on prevalence, linked factors, and care implications. Integrated treatment is the recurring need in this literature, since separate services miss the overlap. Youth services must screen for both problems together. The synthesis maps where evidence is strong and where it thins. Policy and clinic design both draw on such maps.
