Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between traumatic brain injury (TBI) history and substance use among university students, including athletes. Among 894 participants, 22.4% reported one or more TBIs, with nearly half being sport-related. Findings indicate that a history of TBI, especially multiple TBIs, is associated with more problematic alcohol and cannabis use, as well as increased polysubstance use. Additionally, past depression and anxiety symptoms contribute to higher substance use severity, with female sex linked to more problematic alcohol use. The study highlights the importance of considering TBI history and mental health factors when identifying individuals at risk for hazardous substance use.
