“…Community monitoring systems that assess behaviour problems, as well as risk and protective factors, can help communities target prevention strategies. The Communities That Care (CTC) Youth Survey is one example of a valid, reliable, and efficient school survey method that can be used to identify local levels of risk and protective factors as well as alcohol, tobacco, and other drug misuse, delinquency, violence, 98,99 and depression. 100 This survey has been used in Australia, India, Netherlands, the UK, and the USA.…”

The burden of morbidity and mortality from non-communicable disease has risen worldwide and is accelerating in low-income and middle-income countries, whereas the burden from infectious diseases has declined. Since this transition, the prevention of non-communicable disease as well as communicable disease causes of adolescent mortality has risen in importance. Problem behaviours that increase the short-term or long-term likelihood of morbidity and mortality, including alcohol,

“…This may be especially true for measures of community processes [39]. Past research has demonstrated that the CTC-YS provides reliable measures of risk and protective factors that are invariant across grades 6 to 12 [29,40]. Although factor means varied with grade level, the conceptual definitions of the factors were consistent.…”

Purpose-To compare the relative influence of risk and protective factors across several domains on adolescent substance use in a large sample of youth.Methods-Cross-sectional survey data were collected from 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grade students in Pennsylvania (N = 91,778). Generalized linear mixed models were estimated for each grade level to examine associations among indices of 3 risk (individual, peer, and family) and 3 protective (family, school, and community) factors and (a) lifetime substance use and (b) recent substance use.Results-The risk factors were stronger predictors of substance use outcomes compared to the protective factors, regardless of grade level or substance use type. In particular, the individual and peer risk factors were strongly related to lifetime and recent use of cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana. Among the protective factors, the strongest associations with substance use were found in the community domain. Several age-related differences in the associations were also found, suggesting that family and community factors were more salient among younger grades whereas peer and school factors were stronger among older adolescents.Conclusions-These findings provide support for the Social Development Model (SDM), which proposes that adolescent substance use is associated with factors across multiple spheres of influence. Age-related differences in these associations suggest that effective interventions to reduce adolescent substance use may need to emphasize different domains of risk and protective factors at different stages of adolescent development. KeywordsAdolescence; age differences; risk factors; protective factors; substance use Recent epidemiologic surveys indicate that substance use by U.S. youth remains a matter of concern. For example, the 2006 Monitoring the Future results showed that among 12 th graders, most (72.7%) had tried alcohol at least once in their lives and almost half (42.3%) reported lifetime use of marijuana. Among the 8 th grade students, lifetime prevalence of alcohol exceeded 40% and nearly 16% reported trying marijuana at least once. Lifetime use of cigarettes was reported by nearly half (47.1%) of 12 th graders and almost one-fourth (24.6%)Corresponding Author: Michael J. Cleveland, The Methodology Center, 204 E.

“…Despite its large sample size and its high participation rate because of the passive parental consent procedure, the study is limited by its reliance on youth self-report. While the self-reported measure of peer drug use was well validated in previous studies (Arthur et al, 2002;Glaser, Horn, Arthur, Hawkins, & Catalano, 2005), social network analysis is a better approach to examine peer effect.…”

Aims This study examined the association between peer drug use and adolescent polysubstance use, and investigated if this association was moderated by parenting and/or school factors. MethodsThe sample consisted of 9,966 participants (mean age = 14.3; 49.34% males) randomly selected from secondary schools in Victoria, Australia. Three 30-day polysubstance use profiles were derived from latent class analysis -no drug use (47.7%), mainly alcohol use (44.1%) and polysubstance use (8.2%). These profiles were then regressed on peer's drug use, family conflict,
