Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with changes in youth substance use, with both increases and decreases in alcohol, nicotine, and cannabis use reported. Contrary to concerns, however, declines in use were more prevalent than were increases. Consumption is likely affected by the disruption of youth social life.
