Results confirmed a two-class model (addicted class and non-addicted class) among both Russian and Spanish adolescents. The mean number of addictions reported was 1.39 (<i>SD</i> = 1.78) addictions among Russian youth and 1.56 (<i>SD</i> = 1.68) addictions among Spanish youth. The prevalence of the sample that constituted the \"addicted group\" in Russia and Spain was 32.2% and 28.6%, respectively. The most prevalent addictions (i.e., love, Internet, exercise) were similar. These results are similar to the findings previously reported for U.S. sample.

To examine how cannabis use associates with college grade point average specifically, we surveyed n = 1,080 full-time college students and a replication sample of n = 590.
