  1. aOnly the 15 studies that did not measure any of the non-substance use behavioural risk indicators of interest contribute clusters to archetypes 1–3 whereas only the 26 studies that measured both substance use and other behavioural risk indicators contributed to archetypes 4–8. As such, these values reflect the number of studies that that feasibly could have contributed clusters to each archetypes
