“…Many studies have found harmful alcohol use/alcohol disorders to increase the likelihood of unemployment, although only few of them examined HED [3] . Contrary to findings in this study, a previous study from USA did not find youth HED to be a risk for adult unemployment [9] . However, that study did not measure regular HED.…”

“…Of these few studies one [4] found support for the reciprocal association between unemployment and alcohol use disorder in young adults, whereas other [5] found an association only from binge drinking to long-term unemployment and only in women with a sample of 20-59 year olds. Of those studies that have examined association only regarding one direction some have found an association [6][7][8] , others have not [9][10][11] or have found it in either gender or in some age group [3,[12][13][14][15][16] . Variation in the measures, adjustments, age groups and follow-up times could explain these contradictory findings.…”

“…Many studies have examined the effects of drug use on employment, and the evidence indicates that drug use, especially chronic or “hard” drug use (Alexandre & French, 2004; French, Roebuck, & Alexandre, 2001; Newcomb & Bentler, 1986), has a negative impact on work performance, labor force participation, job retention, and earnings (Baldwin, Marcus, & De Simone, 2010; Braun et al, 2000; Bryant, Jayawardhana, Samaranayake, & Wilhite, 1996; Gill & Michaels, 1992; Hoffmann, Dufur, & Huang, 2007; Kandel & Davies, 1990; Marie, Fergusson, & Boden, 2008; Mink et al, 2008; Naccarato et al, 2010; Ringel, Ellickson, & Collins, 2006; Wiesner, Capaldi, & Kim, 2010; Wu, Schlenger, & Galvin, 2003). Similarly, alcohol abuse has significant impact on employment, especially for the transition from adolescence to young adulthood.…”

This study investigated the impact of drug use on employment over 20 years among men and women, utilizing data on 7,661 participants in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Growth mixture modeling was applied, and five distinct employment trajectory groups were identified for both men and women. The identified patterns were largely similar for men and women except that a U-shape employment trajectory was uniquely identified for women. Early-initiation drug users, users of "hard" drugs, and frequent drug users were more likely to demonstrate consistently low levels of employment, and the negative relationship between drug use and employment was more apparent among men than women. Also, positive associations between employment and marriage became more salient for men over time, as did negative associations between employment and childrearing among women. Processes are dynamic and complex, suggesting that throughout the life course, protective factors that reduce the risk of employment problems emerge and change, as do critical periods for maximizing the impact of drug prevention and intervention efforts.

“…Rural youth begin drinking at similar or earlier ages to urban adolescents (Johnston, Bachman, & O’Malley, 2000; Mink, Wang, Bennett, Moore, Powell, & Probst, 2005), are more likely to drink and drive (O’Malley & Johnson, 1999) as well as report dependency-related symptoms (Mink, et al, 2005). Despite this prevalence, rural alcohol use has not been studied extensively.…”

Although research has identified numerous neighborhood mechanisms influencing urban adolescent risk behaviors, less is known about how community contexts influence rural adolescents. This study explores perceived controls against adolescent drinking (i.e., tolerance of community adolescent alcohol use), adolescent perceptions of community supportiveness, and the prevalence of community alcohol use exhibited by adolescents and adults. Multilevel analyses were applied to 1,424 6th through 8th grade students residing in 22 rural communities in the Northern Plains. Perceptions of tolerance, prevalence, and support from 790 parents, teachers, and community leaders were also collected. Analyses revealed that community supportiveness and controls against drinking reduced both the decision to try alcohol and past month use among early adolescents. Adolescents were more likely to have ever tried alcohol if they lived in a community with higher peer prevalence than higher levels of adult alcohol prevalence, but in communities where peer drinking was lower; adolescents were more likely to have tried alcohol if they lived in a high adult-prevalence community. Perceived peer drinking was not related to past month use.
