Youth SIG Webinar: Age, Period, and Cohort Effects in Alcohol and Other Substance Use
January 17, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EST
Join the CTN Youth SIG for their next webinar, “Age, Period, and Cohort Effects in Alcohol and Other Substance Use: Implications for Health and Prevention,” presented by Katherine M. Keyes, PhD (Columbia University), on Friday, January 17, 2025, 11am-12pm ET.
Incidence, prevalence, and persistence of substance use differ by generation and by substance. Understanding how each generation uses alcohol and other drugs, why, and how health is implicated is critical for public health. The presentation will overview what we know about current trends in substance use, how rates are organized by age, period, and cohort, and how these trends are shaping public health overall.
