Due to the timing of our survey launch with the COVID-19 pandemic, we included one additional question to assess "Do you think your use of electronic vaping products, tobacco products, alcohol, or marijuana (any of these) changed (increased or decreased) since Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak?" If individuals answered "Yes," we then provided subsequent questions to assess the directionality of change of each product type as: "Which of the following products and to what direction this change happened?" with the response option of "Increase / Decrease" for each substance type. When analyzing within substance type groups (electronic vaping, marijuana, tobacco product, alcohol), we did not observe significant differences by report of loneliness, anxiety, or depression for changes in substance use direction (increased vs decreased usage). We also observed that the proportion of respondents reporting a change in their substance use patterns differed by age, self-reported anxiety and depression, and degrees of loneliness. ./cache/cord-280582-iska6pt8.txt ./txt/cord-280582-iska6pt8.txt
