Alcohol, Drugs, or All the Above: A Person-Centered Approach to Understand Polysubstance Use Patterns and Correlates with Emotion Regulation and Sensation-Seeking

Urgency, difficulties regulating emotions, distress tolerance, sensation-seeking, and drinking motives significantly distinguished between different substance use profiles.
