Multiple risk factors for multiproblem boys: Co-occurrence of delinquency, substance use, attention deficit, conduct problems, physical aggression, covert behavior, depressed mood, and shy/withdrawn behavior

“…Although prior findings are not always consistent, and bidirectional in nature, studies have shown that teens who have depressive symptoms are at higher risk for substance use, dependence, and multiplesubstance use (Conway et al, 2013;Costello et al, 1999;Fleming et al, 2008;Hussong et al, 1998;King et al, 2004;Loeber et al, 1998;Marmorstein et al, 2010;Sihvola et al, 2008;Stice et al 1998). Associating with peers who use substances has also been related to initiation, greater use (D' Amico & McCarthy, 2006), and multiple-substance use (Lamont et al, 2014).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Use of tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs increases during the high school years, yet little is known about individual patterns over time, particularly patterns of contemporaneous multiple-substance use. This study examined trajectories of contemporaneous substance use and how individual and social factors differentially predict patterns of substance use. Method: Longitudinal trajectories of substance use were examined in a nationally representative sample of students (N = 2,512) over a 3-year period (10th through 12th grades) using latent class analysis. Individual, parental, and peer risk factors in 10th grade were examined in relation to membership in trajectory classes. Result: A five-class model was identified: nonusers (45.5%); tobacco, alcohol, and other drug users (9.2%); alcohol and other drug users (9.2%); increasing multiple-substance users (16.7%); and decreasing multiple-substance users (19.4%). Depressive symptoms at baseline were associated with a higher likelihood of membership in all classes except the increasing multiple-substance-user class, but the association becomes insignificant when social influence factors were adjusted. Parental-monitoring knowledge was associated with a lower likelihood of membership in all classes except increasing multiple-substance-user class, whereas perceived parental disapproval was associated with a lower likelihood of membership in the tobacco, alcohol, and other drug user class. Peer substance use was associated with a higher likelihood of membership in each of the substance use classes. Conclusions: The identified longitudinal profiles highlight the pervasiveness and dynamic patterns of contemporaneous multiple-substance use during 10th through 12th grades. Negative peer influence increased risk, whereas positive parenting behaviors decreased risk. The findings are consistent with the need to foster social influences and protective factors against adolescent substance use. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 76, 962-970, 2015) Received: March 4, 2015.

“…We assessed the teen's perception of relationship quality with the service member and spouse using the ten-item Parent-Child Communications scale (Loeber et al, 1998). Items ask about the quality of communication between the child and parent (e.g., "Do you talk about your problems with your mother/father?"…”
