“…The prevalence of alcohol consumption among Thai adolescents (past-year drinking = 25.5% in boys and 14.5% in girls) was lower than was reported in other countries, e.g., 48.1% for moderate drinking in the past 12 months among Swiss students (Zufferey et al, 2007), 26% for any alcohol intake in the last 30 days for Asian and Pacific Islander adolescents in California (Kim and McCarthy, 2006), 44.9% for drinking in the past 30 days among high school students in U.S.A. (Miller et al, 2007), and 81% for drinking in the past 4 weeks among New Zealand university students (Kypri et al, 2008). The prevalences of current drinking across school years in our study were substantially lower than those reported in the U.S.…”

“…This study adds to the growing body of literature on negative adult social and behavioral consequences of adolescent drinking (Oesterle et al, 2004;Staff et al, 2008, Zufferey et al, 2007. In addition to reinforcing the importance of preventing frequent drinking among youth, fi ndings suggest that violence prevention efforts should focus on the role of early frequent drinking and later problematic drinking.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: This study examined the relationship between adolescent alcohol use and adult violence from a developmental perspective, specifi cally whether frequent adolescent drinking predicts adult violence once shared risk factors are taken into account through propensity score matching. The research considered multiple types of violence, including assault, robbery, and suicidal behavior, as well as other types of offending. It tested whether educational attainment and adult alcohol use and problems contribute to the adolescent drinking-adult violence relationship. Method: Data came from a longitudinal epidemiological study of a community cohort of urban African Americans followed from age 6 to 42 (N = 702; 51% female). Frequent adolescent drinking was operationalized as 20 times or more by age 16. Data on violent arrests and offenses were collected throughout adulthood from self-reports and offi cial criminal records. Matching variables came from childhood and adolescence and included such shared risk factors as childhood externalizing behaviors, school achievement, and family functioning. Results: Adjusted logistic regression analyses on the sample matched on childhood and adolescent risk factors showed that frequent adolescent drinking was associated with an increased risk of violence in young adulthood (in particular assault) but not with other types of crime, self-directed violence, or violence in midlife. Findings varied by gender. Heavy episodic drinking in adulthood seemed to account for some of the association between frequent adolescent drinking and adult assault. Conclusions:The results of this study suggest that preventing frequent adolescent drinking could potentially decrease adult assault. This study adds to the growing body of literature suggesting long-term negative consequences of adolescent alcohol use. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 72, 701-710, 2011)

“…Underage alcohol consumption also can be quite dangerous. Underage drinkers are at heightened risk for injuries and emergency room visits, suicidality, interpersonal problems with family and friends, school problems, risky sex, and risky driving (Jacobus, Bava, Cohen-Zion, Mahmood, & Tapert, 2009;Teplin et al, 2005;Windle & Windle, 2005;Zufferey et al, 2007). Moreover, the more an adolescent drinks, the more likely that adolescent as an adult will experience alcohol dependence and other substance abuse, antisocial behavior, legal problems, vocational problems and unemployment, comorbid disorders, and interpersonal problems with family and friends (Danielsson, Wennberg, Tengström, & Romelsjö, 2010;Hicks, Iacono, & McGue, 2010).…”

We examined whether discrimination experienced by Hispanic/Latino adolescents is associated (a) directly with adolescent alcohol use or (b) indirectly with adolescent alcohol use via mediation by ethnic identity and/or peer associations. Data were drawn from an NIAAA-funded randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of a Guided-Self Change intervention for Hispanic/Latino youth with alcohol and interpersonal violence problems (R01 AA12180; see Wagner et al., 2014). The current sample included 371 Hispanic/Latino teenagers (mean age = 16.3 years [SD = 1.37]; 38% female). Using structural equation modeling (SEM), results revealed that perceived discrimination was indirectly related to alcohol consumption through positive (non-drinking) peer affiliations. Additionally, ethnic identity was found to moderate the relationship between discrimination and positive peer affiliation. These findings further our understanding about how discrimination and ethnic identity interact, as well as provide directions for how the effectiveness of prevention models may be enhanced for reducing underage drinking among Hispanic/Latino adolescents.

Cumulative risk factors for adolescent alcohol misuse and its perceived consequences among 16 to 20 year old adolescents in Switzerland

Abstract: Risk factors for adolescent alcohol misuse are cumulative and can be synthesized into an individual score correlated with the likeliness of misuse. A further indication of the validity of this score is its linear relationship with self-reported problems related to drinking.
