Both substances have been individually linked to adverse effects on major depressive disorder (MDD), but little is known about their co-use. This study examined the association between co-use and MDD among US adults with chronic conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional analysis used 2022 National Survey of Drug Use and Health data from 35\u2009585 adults older than 18\u2009years with chronic conditions. Participants were categorized into 4 groups: (1) co-use of marijuana and opioids, (2) opioid only, (3) marijuana only, and (4) neither in the past year. MDD was defined using DSM-5 criteria (\u2a7e2\u2009weeks of depressed mood or anhedonia with \u2a7e5 symptoms). Associations between substance use and MDD were assessed with Rao-Scott chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for demographic, behavioral, clinical, and social determinants of health as well as COVID-19-related mental health and past-year benzodiazepine use.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, 8.5% reported co-use; 26.1% reported opioid use and no marijuana use; and 10.9% reported marijuana use and no opioid use. Past year MDD was highest among those with co-use (20.8%) followed by marijuana only (18.4%); opioid only (9.3%); and neither (5.6%). In fully adjusted logistic regression, co-use had the strongest association with past year MDD (AOR\u2009=\u20091.92,\u200995% CI\u2009=\u20091.45, 2.50) followed by marijuana only (AOR\u2009=\u20091.72,\u200995% CI\u2009=\u20091.31, 2.26) and opioid only (AOR\u2009=\u20091.44, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.14, 1.82) compared to the neither opioids nor marijuana group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Co-use of opioids and marijuana is not uncommon among adults with chronic conditions and is associated with higher odds of MDD.
