Age-period-cohort analysis of trends in tobacco smoking, cannabis use, and their co-use in the Australian population.
Article in Addiction (Abingdon, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimThe prevalence of tobacco smoking has declined in most high-income countries, while cannabis use has been rising. Moreover, cannabis use has been found to have increased among cigarette smokers in recent years in jurisdictions where it has been either decriminalized or legalized. This study measured trends in cannabis, tobacco and the co-use of cannabis and tobacco in Australia.
designAge-period-cohort analysis. SETTING AND
participantsParticipants were n = 143 344 individuals aged 18-80 years who participated in Australia's National Drug Strategy Household Surveys (NDSHS) between 2001 and 2019. MEASUREMENTS: Regular (weekly/more frequently): (1) tobacco smoking only, (2) cannabis use only and (3) the co-use of cannabis and tobacco.
findingsPrevalence of only smoking tobacco decreased in all age groups (P < 0.001) and birth cohorts between 2001 and 2019, but the co-use of cannabis and tobacco did not. Younger cohorts were much less likely to co-use tobacco and cannabis (P = 0.02). Period trends showed that both cannabis use only and the co-use of cannabis and tobacco have increased since 2013.
conclusionThere has been a consistent decrease in exclusive tobacco smoking across age, period and birth cohorts between 2001 and 2019 in Australia, although there is a recent increasing period trend in cannabis use with or without tobacco. The non-decreasing trend of co-use may reflect the strong tobacco control policies introduced over the period and changing attitudes towards cannabis use in Australia.
