Association between energy drink intake sleep stress and suicidality in Korean adolescents: energy drink use in isolation or in combination with junk food consumption

This study aimed to investigate the associations between energy drink intake and mental health problems, in isolation or in combination with junk food consumption, in a nationally representative sample of Korean adolescents.
