In this chapter we use an epidemiological perspective to examine the comorbidity between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders (SUDs). Our primary goal is to present epidemiological evidence of the association between these disorders and potential causal relationships between them. To place these finding in context, we begin the chapter by discussing the unique advantages, as well as the limitations, of epidemiological investigations of the comorbidity between these two disorders. We also present basic epidemiological concepts to guide readers who are less familiar with research in this field. Finally, we address gaps in the epidemiological literature and propose future directions for research in this area.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
