The association between substance use and subsequent employment among students: prospective findings from the CONSTANCES cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine prospectively associations between substance use and subsequent employment among young students.

Methods

From the French population-based CONSTANCES cohort, 1427 students who never worked were included between 2012 and 2018 and followed up for 2.1 years on average. Generalized estimating equations computed the odds of being unemployed versus employed according to substance use at baseline controlling for sociodemographic factors and depressive state. Tobacco use (smoking status and number of cigarettes), cannabis use frequency, and at-risk alcohol use according to the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (total score > 7) were introduced separately in the models.

Results

Tobacco use was not significantly associated with employment. Cannabis use
