What does the term "Patterns of Consumption" refer to?

Qualitative Data
Quantitative Data
Prevention
Substance use type, amount, frequency, and sometimes place/occasion of use

The correct answer is: Substance use type, amount, frequency, and sometimes place/occasion of use

The term "Patterns of Consumption" specifically relates to the characteristics and behaviors surrounding substance use. This includes a detailed examination of the type of substance being used, the amount consumed, the frequency of use, and sometimes the settings or occasions in which the substance is consumed. Understanding these patterns helps professionals develop tailored prevention strategies and interventions that address the specific needs and behaviors of individuals or populations. The other options refer to different concepts within data collection and analysis. Qualitative data involves non-numerical information that describes qualities or characteristics, while quantitative data refers to numerical data that can be measured and analyzed statistically. Prevention, though crucial in the context of substance use, does not define the term "Patterns of Consumption" directly. Instead, it is an outcome that can be influenced by understanding those patterns in relation to substance use behaviors.
