Tracking over 11,000 kids from before age twelve through mid-teens, the study shows a surprising shift: while boys led in early experimentation, girls surpassed them by age thirteen, especially in nicotine use. By fourteen, girls were more likely than boys to use nicotine, cannabis, and alcohol—and nearly 15% of teens used two or more substances, most commonly nicotine and cannabis, with girls again leading after thirteen. The findings offer a clearer, nationwide snapshot of how teen substance use evolves, with major implications for brain development and long-term health.
