Little is known about risk factors for SUD in this population. This retrospective cohort study used electronic health record data from a large academic hospital system (2015–2019) to identify adolescents (aged 10–17) and young adults (aged 18–27) with intellectual/developmental disorders, psychiatric conditions, or complex medical conditions. Logistic regression was used to identify demographic, clinical, and neighborhood-level risk factors associated with SUD in this population. A total of 149 adolescents and 536 young adults had a SUD diagnosis (6.7% and 20.6%, respectively). Among adolescents, notable risk factors for SUD included age (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.31, 1.54]), Hispanic ethnicity (aOR = 2.10, 95% CI = [1.10, 3.99]), additional psychoactive medication classes (aOR = 1.27, 95% CI = [1.11, 1.46]), and living in a “high” child opportunity index (COI) (aOR = 2.06, 95% CI [1.02, 4.14]) or a “very high” COI (aOR = 3.04, 95% CI [1.56,5.95]) area. Among young adults, notable risk factors included being male (aOR = 2.41, 95% CI [1.91, 3.05]), being Black (aOR = 1.64, 95% CI [1.28, 2.09]), and additional non-psychoactive (aOR = 1.07, 95% CI [1.03, 1.11]) or psychoactive medication classes (aOR = 1.17, 95% CI [1.07, 1.28]). These descriptive analyses are limited to one large academic hospital system in North Carolina and may not be representative of all high-need AYAs in the state. Several demographic, clinical, and neighborhood risk factors are associated with SUD in high-need AYAs.","PeriodicalId":39574,"journal":{"name":"North Carolina Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141003673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
