Methods Participants (N=91; 61/91, 67% female 84/91, 92% White) were who engaged recent alcohol cannabis use. randomized either complete EMA protocol with 4 prompts/d (EMA Group) or same 1 message DD indicating multiple metrics progress study, delivered at randomly selected prompt/d (EMA+DD via microrandomized design. Study compliance, completion time, self-reported experiences, qualitative responses assessed both groups.

However, none bond domains examined this moderated association outcomes. Exploratory analyses indicated pet-related love emotion regulation most strongly correlated suggesting emotional reliance may overlap mechanisms driving No significant associations emerged for co-use. These findings suggest that, while can provide support, it also be such as use; therefore, further research is needed to explore these dynamics context diverse populations, adults. recommendations how veterinarians, practitioners, other professionals support informed safer helps safeguard health well-being

The male‐to‐female ratio decreased 2019 (AAPC [95% −0.7, [−1.0 to −0.4]), unlike (−0.5 [−1.8–0.7]). Discussion Conclusions Our findings suggest use.
