“…This is consistent with previous research indicating that location convenience and access to alcohol contribute to early adolescent alcohol use at home (Anderson and Brown, 2010;Casswell et al, 1991;Harford and Spiegler, 1983). Similarly, cigarette and marijuana use in cars and at school were more common among older youth, as was marijuana use at friends' houses.…”

“…Similarly, cigarette and marijuana use in cars and at school were more common among older youth, as was marijuana use at friends' houses. These trends extend previous research (Anderson and Brown, 2010;Harford and Grant, 1987;Lee et al, 1997) and are best explained by increased independent driving and unsupervised time with friends (Borawski et al, 2003). The rates of after-school and weeknight use of cigarettes and marijuana followed a similar age pattern, with use increasing with age during these times.…”

“…Thus, early adolescent alcohol use occurs most frequently at home or at a friend's home because of easy access to alcohol (Casswell et al, 1991;Harford and Spiegler, 1983) and location convenience (Anderson and Brown, 2010). Young adolescents also have the greatest opportunity to engage in substance use immediately after school, particularly when home with a sibling or friend and no adults (Flannery et al, 1999).…”

“…By the end of high school, adolescents most often drink outside their own home-at another person's home, in an outdoor setting, or in a car (Harford and Grant, 1987;Lee et al, 1997). Additionally, older adolescents who drink heavily use alcohol in multiple contexts, including public places (e.g., parks, beaches) and school (Anderson and Brown, 2010).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: This study examined the location and time of adolescent use of cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana. Age, gender, and racial differences in location and time of use were studied for each substance. Method: Using cross-sectional data collected through the schoolwide Pride Survey, 20,055 students between the ages of 10 and 19 years (53.6% female, 55.1% Black, 44.9% White) in one metropolitan area reported on their frequency of cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use, as well as the location and time of use of each substance. Chi-square tests compared the rates, locations, and times for each substance across boys and girls; Black and White students; and early, middle, and late adolescents. Results: Older adolescents reported higher rates of substance use at friends' homes, at school, and in cars and lower rates of alcohol use at home compared with younger youth. Males were more likely to report alcohol and marijuana use at school and on weeknights and alcohol use in cars, whereas females were more likely to report alcohol and marijuana use on the weekends. No gender differences emerged for times and locations of cigarette use. Compared with Black youth, White adolescents were more likely to use all substances at friends' homes and on weekends; to smoke cigarettes at school, in the car, and on weeknights; and to use alcohol at home. Black adolescents were more likely to report using alcohol at home, at school, in cars, during and after school, and on weeknights and were more likely to report using marijuana at school. Conclusions: The location and time of adolescent substance use vary substantially by age, gender, and race. These differences may help tailor substance use prevention and intervention programs to specifi c subgroups of youth to improve program effectiveness. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 74, 288-300, 2013)

“…Health and academic data were gathered in the demographic survey from both youth and one parent, including aspects of functioning associated with initiation of drinking in this age range (e.g., Anderson & Brown, 2011;Brown et al, 2008;Zucker et al, 2008). Most (85%) participants had Notes: NCANDA = National Consortium on Alcohol and NeuroDevelopment in Adolescence; OHSU = Oregon Health & Science University; SRI = SRI International; UPMC = University of Pittsburgh Medical Center; UCSD = University of California, San Diego.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: During adolescence, neurobiological maturation occurs concurrently with social and interpersonal changes, including the initiation of alcohol and other substance use. The National Consortium on Alcohol and NeuroDevelopment in Adolescence (NCANDA) is designed to disentangle the complex relationships between onset, escalation, and desistance of alcohol use and changes in neurocognitive functioning and neuromaturation. Method: A sample of 831 youth, ages 12-21 years, was recruited at five sites across the United States, oversampling those at risk for alcohol use problems. Most (83%) had limited or no history of alcohol or other drug use, and a smaller portion (17%) exceeded drinking thresholds. A comprehensive assessment of biological development, family background, psychiatric symptomatology, and neuropsychological functioning-in addition to anatomical, diffusion, and functional brain magnetic resonance imaging-was completed at baseline. Results: The NCANDA sample of youth is nationally representative of sex and racial/ethnic groups. More than 50% have at least one risk characteristic for subsequent heavy drinking (e.g., family history, internalizing or externalizing symptoms). As expected, those who exceeded drinking thresholds (n = 139) differ from those who did not (n = 692) on identified factors associated with early alcohol use and problems. Conclusions: NCANDA successfully recruited a large sample of adolescents and comprehensively assessed psychosocial functioning across multiple domains. Based on the sample's risk profile, NCANDA is well positioned to capture the transition into drinking and alcohol problems in a large portion of the cohort, as well as to help disentangle the associations between alcohol use, neurobiological maturation, and neurocognitive development and functioning.

This entry explores changes in social influence during adolescence and its effects on substance abuse. This developmental period is influential in the initiation of substance use and its potential progression to abuse. This entry describes social–psychological theories related to social influence. It also reviews typical changes in the impact of social influence, such as the increasing influence of peers over family members throughout adolescence. It discusses how both proximal and distal sources of social influence affect adolescent health attitudes and behaviors. Finally, it reviews how the relationship between social influence and changing structure, access, and motivations affects substance use behavior in adolescents.
