“…Parents should be aware of potential non-prescribed use of commonly prescribed pain relievers by their children and monitor their frequency and dosing of medical use as needed. Epidemiological evidence indicates that adolescents manifesting early drug use are likely to need clinical attention, especially in the presence of other risk factors, such as psychiatric problems, genetic predisposition, or adverse environments (Anthony and Petronis, 1995;Brook et al, 2000;Costello, 2007;Tsuang et al, 1998). To what extent early use of non-prescribed pain relievers is related to subsequent drug use and factors modifying the risk for adverse outcomes deserves investigation.…”

Background-We examined gender-specific prevalences, patterns, and correlates of nonprescribed use of pain relievers-mainly opioids-in a representative sample of American adolescents (N = 18,678).Methods-Data were drawn from the public use data file of the 2005 U.S. National Survey on Drug Use and Health, a survey of non-institutionalized American household residents. The patterns of nonprescribed use of prescription pain relievers were examined, and logistic regression procedures were conducted to identify correlates of non-prescribed use.Results-Approximately one in 10 adolescents aged 12−17 years reported non-prescribed use of pain relievers in their lifetime (9.3% in males and 10.3% in females). The mean age of first nonprescribed use was 13.3 years, which was similar to the mean age of first use of alcohol and marijuana but older than the age of first inhalant use. Among all non-prescribed users, 52% reported having used hydrocodone products (Vicodin, Lortab, Lorcet, and Lorcet Plus, and hydrocodone), 50% had used propoxyphene (Darvocet or Darvon) or codeine (Tylenol with codeine), and 24% had used oxycodone products (OxyContin, Percocet, Percodan, and Tylox). Approximately one quarter (26%) of all non-prescribed users had never used other non-prescribed or illicit drugs. There were gender variations in correlates of non-prescribed use.Conclusions-Use of non-prescribed pain relievers occurs early in adolescence. Research is needed to understand whether early use of non-prescribed pain relievers is related to later drug use.

“…Several studies in this review demonstrated that adolescents engaging in NMUPM often have underlying mental health problems [8,10,16,18]. Access to treatment for underlying psychological issues that place adolescents at increased risk for NMUPM must also be improved, particularly for those who have other risk factors, such as troubled environments, traumatic histories, delinquent behavior, or polysubstance use [18,[45][46][47][48]. Thus, the complexity of treating and preventing adolescent NMUPM requires effort from multiple stakeholders at various levels.…”

“…Previous research has documented that internalizing symptoms in childhood predict depression during adolescence (Rose, Rose, and Feldman, 1989). Externalizing behaviors (i.e., aggression, delinquency) predict later problem behaviors including drug use and antisocial behavior (Brook, Whiteman, Finch, and Cohen, 1996), as well as psychiatric disorders (Brook, Richter, and Rubenstone, 2000). Therefore, it is important to identify the predictors of internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors among children.…”

Exposure to Parental Cigarette Smoking and Child Problem Behaviors: A Longitudinal Study

This study examined exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). A major public health problem, ETS has been found to be associated with an increased risk of adverse health effects in children. This study utilizes data from a community-based, longitudinal investigation examining the relation between children's exposure to ETS and later internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors. Interviews were administered to a representative community sample of participants from two New York State counties in 1983, with subsequent interviews in 1985-1986, 1992, 1997, and 2002-2003 (when the participants' mean age was 32). Data was collected on various personality and behavioral characteristics of the participants, and on internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors demonstrated by their children. Results indicated that children's exposure to ETS was associated with an increased risk for both internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors. This relationship was maintained despite control on a number of parental psychosocial risk factors (e.g., demographic variables, personality and behavioral attributes) that have been found to be associated with both parental cigarette smoking and behavior problems among children. These data, which indicate an association between exposure to ETS and internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors among children, support public health policies to further restrict children's exposure to ETS. KeywordsParental cigarette smoking; Child-rearing practices; Environmental tobacco smoke; ETS; Effects of parental cigarette smoking on children; Effects of ETS on children; Internalizing behaviors; Externalizing behaviorsInternalizing symptoms refer to overlapping symptoms of depression and anxiety and somatic complaints (Achenbach, 1991). Previous research has documented that internalizing symptoms in childhood predict depression during adolescence (Rose, Rose, and Feldman, 1989). Externalizing behaviors (i.e., aggression, delinquency) predict later problem behaviors including drug use and antisocial behavior (Brook, Whiteman, Finch, and Cohen, 1996), as well as psychiatric disorders (Brook, Richter, and Rubenstone, 2000). Therefore, it is important to identify the predictors of internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors among children. The present longitudinal study focuses on one important predictor of internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors, namely, children's exposure to ETS (Environmental Tobacco Smoke). The present research is unique in that both short-term and NIH Public Access (Cook, Strachan, and Carey, 1999), and sudden infant death syndrome (USDHHS, 2004). Most of the literature on child exposure to ETS has concentrated on the effects of maternal smoking (Bauman, Flewelling, and La Prelle, 1991). The majority of studies have linked maternal smoking during pregnancy with behavioral disturbances in children (Brook, Brook, and Whiteman, 2000;Weitzman, Gortmaker, and Sobol, 1992). A growing body of literature has also looked at the effects of post...
