Speed and smoking kill: A time-varying survival analysis linking methamphetamine use, cigarette smoking, and mortality in sexual minority men

Comprehensive interventions including behavioral therapies and risk screening are warranted to mitigate early mortality and improve health outcomes among SMM.
