Drug‐Induced Deaths and Non‐Fatal Poisonings in Youth—Associations With Household Adversities and Out‐Of‐Home Care
Substance use patterns and homicide in Finland, 2002–2022
Due to the increase in the use of illicit drugs in western Europe, key policy stakeholders and researchers have increasingly focused on the drugs-violence nexus. However, previous research on changing substance use patterns among homicide offenders, particularly studies that consider alcohol and drugs simultaneously, remains limited. Comparative analyses of youth- versus adult-perpetrated homicides from a substance use perspective are particularl…

Background: This study explores the dynamics of substance use in Finland, employing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning techniques to identify key risk factors and predict patterns of drug use. Objectives: Using data from the Finnish National Drug Survey and applying 15 feature selection methodologies, this study identifies 23 risk factors associated with the five most used illicit substances: cannabis, ecstasy, amphetamines, cocain…
Correlates of the use of different nicotine strengths in smokeless tobacco (snus) and oral nicotine pouches among the Finnish general population
Not knowing the nicotine level of the used snus or ONPs was common among the Finnish population having used the products.

How do People Attribute their Polydrug Use? A Mixed Methods Approach
In Finland, polydrug use is generally seen as stigmatized deviant behavior. By means of the mixed methods approach, this article focuses on how people explain their polydrug use and what they attribute it to. Our findings show that these explanations vary according to sociodemography. Moreover, polydrug use is not always presented as planned and goal-oriented behavior, but also something that can occur due to sudden situational factors beyond the…
Growing medicine
There is a wider demand for licit access for medical cannabis than currently available in these countries. Ideologically, medical growers can be seen distancing themselves from both the legal and illicit drug markets. From a harm reduction perspective, it is worrying that, in the context of present health and control policies in these countries, many medical growers are using cannabis to treat serious medical conditions without proper medical adv…
Mortality and causes of death among drugged drivers
BACKGROUND: Studying drugged drivers gives complementary information about mortality of drug users, which mainly has been studied among opioid abusers. The aim of this study was to analyse mortality rates and causes of death among drivers under the influence of drugs (DUID) in Finland and compare them with the general Finnish population during 1993-2006. METHODS: Register data from 5832 DUID suspects apprehended by the police were studied, with a…
