“…27,28,30 It is a robust finding that debut age of drug use predicts later substance abuse and future engagement in additional health risk behaviors. 31,32 Additional consequences of early substance use may be reflected in increased suicide risk, 33 which itself represents a significant proportion of young adult and adolescent mortality.…”

OBJECTIVE: Maternal depression is a risk factor for adolescent depression; however, the effect of childhood exposure to maternal depression on adolescent engagement in health risk behaviors (eg, substance use, delinquency) is unclear. METHODS:We examined the relationship between maternal depressive symptoms (child's age 4-15) and engagement in health risk behaviors at age 16 to 17 by using data from 2910 mother-youth pairs in a nationally representative prospective Canadian cohort. Maternal depressive trajectories were estimated through finite mixture modeling, and multiple regression analyses examined the relationship between maternal depressive symptoms and engagement in various health risk behaviors (linear regression) and age of debut of various behaviors (Cox regression).RESULTS: Five trajectories of maternal depressive symptoms were found: recurrent maternal symptoms, midchildhood exposure to maternal symptoms, adolescent exposure to maternal symptoms, mild maternal symptoms, and low symptoms. Adolescents exposed to maternal depressive symptoms during middle childhood were more likely to use common substances (alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana), engage in violent and nonviolent delinquent behavior, and have an earlier debut ages of cigarette, alcohol, marijuana, and hallucinogen use. CONCLUSIONS:The results of this study suggest that exposure to maternal depressive symptoms, particularly in middle childhood, is associated with greater and earlier engagement in health risk behaviors. WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT:Maternal depression has been associated with adolescent engagement in risky behaviors such as substance use. However, there is a lack of longitudinal research examining timing-specific effects in this relationship. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:The results of this study indicate that youth exposed to increasing levels of maternal depressive symptoms in middle childhood are more likely to engage in substance use and delinquent behaviors and have an earlier debut age of these behaviors.

“…One of a few studies to examine the effects of adolescent PDM on adult outcomes found that early adolescent PDM was a signifi cant predictor of PDM and abuse/dependence on prescription drugs in adulthood (McCabe et al, 2007b). Although there is limited research on the long-term consequences of adolescent PDM, adolescent substance use, in general, is associated with adverse outcomes, including lower academic achievement (Ellickson et al, 2004), delinquency (D'Amico et al, 2008), unprotected sexual inter-course and unplanned pregnancy (Stueve and O'Donnell, 2005), and suicide risk (Cho et al, 2007). Longitudinal research suggests that adolescent substance use also increases risk for criminality (Stenbacka and Stattin, 2007), unemployment (Rohde et al, 2007), and substance-use disorders and psychiatric dysfunction (Brook et al, 2002) in adulthood.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and correlates of nonmedical prescription drug misuse (PDM) in a state population of youths in residential care for antisocial behavior. Method: Interviews assessing substance use, psychiatric symptoms, antisocial traits/behavior, and traumatic life experiences were conducted with 723 Missouri youths. Participants were predominantly male (87.0%), averaged 15.5 (SD = 1.2) years of age, and constituted 97.7% of the service population sampled. Results: Overall, 314 youths (43.4%) reported lifetime PDM; 33.7%, 32.0%, and 11.2% had misused prescription opioids, tranquilizers, and barbiturates, respectively. Prescription drug misusers were signifi cantly older, and larger proportions were girls, were White, and resided in small towns, compared with non-prescription drug misusers. Prescription drug misusers evidenced signifi cantly more varied, frequent, and problematic psychoactive drug use; evidenced higher levels of distressing psychiatric symptoms; and were nearly twice as likely to have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, compared with non-prescription drug misusers. Traumatic life events, experiences of criminal victimization, and suicidal ideation were signifi cantly more prevalent in the histories of prescription drug misusers, compared with non-prescription drug misusers. In multiple logistic regression models, older age; White racial status; prior inhalant, marijuana, and LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) use; residence in a small town; and impulsivity were associated with increased risk for PDM. Conclusions: Adolescents in residential care for antisocial behavior have high rates of PDM, as well as comorbid psychiatric and behavioral problems. Youths served in institutional settings should be routinely screened and treated for PDM and co-occurring disorders. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 71, 917-924, 2010)

“…2 Tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis use have been shown to be associated with suicidal behaviour in adolescents. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Until now, the association between suicidal behaviour and kava has not been examined. Kava, a psychoactive substance commonly used by youth in New Caledonia is also drunk elsewhere in the region including Australia and New Zealand, where its use has been documented in Aboriginal and Pacific Island communities.…”
