A retrospective, longitudinal study was conducted on 130 patients aged between 12 and 24 years, in accordance with the corresponding selection criteria and applying the ꭔ 2 statistical test and Fisher's exact test, with a confidence interval of 95% and a statistical significance of * p <0.05.

The results obtained reveal that 119 (91.5%) patients from the sample group presented dual pathology, the majority of which were male, among whom marijuana was the most preferred psychoactive substance with 92.4%, followed by alcohol with 60.5%, amphetamines with 52.1%, and cocaine with 40.3%. The average age of the male subjects was 19.32 years ± 3.5. Nine subjects from (6.9%) the female population presented a possible dual pathology, with marijuana identified as the psychoactive substance of choice for 100% of this group, followed by amphetamines with 77.8%, alcohol with 55.6%, and cocaine with 33.3%, while the group’s mean age was 18.44 years ± 4.30. The most statistically significant associations found were marijuana with depression (P *<0.0236), cocaine and amphetamines with anxiety and psychosis (P ***<0.0003 and ***<0.0001, respectively), and amphetamines and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (P *<0.0132) and the association between alcohol and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (P **<0.0067).
