“…Another possibility is peer influence (Griffith and Jackman, 2019), by participating in the PIK-R program, adolescents meet friends of the same age and may have used and influenced other teenagers. Thus there needs to be control from older people in every activity that is followed by adolescents.…”

In Indonesia drug in adolescents shows a number that tends to be high. This phenomenon is certainly an indication that there are character problems in children and adolescents in Indonesia, which certainly cannot be separated from the role of parents. In this case the function of parents and government support is needed in an effort to handle the use of drugs in teenagers in Indonesia. The results showed that the majority of adolescents who used drugs were more in adolescents who had heads of households with low education and had families with a low wealth index, were in whole families, and more in adolescents who lived in rural areas. Teenage boys tend to use drugs more than girls. Teenagers who use drugs have more characteristics of the 20-24 year age group, low education and are not working. The factors that significantly affect the use of drug use among adolescents include socio-cultural functions, place of residence, adolescence, adolescent sex, work status, adolescent access to PIK-R programs, and knowledge of the impact of drugs.

“…This leads us to the need of investigating the formation of perceived risk and further examining how adolescent risk perception is shaped, perhaps by parents and peers. Parental involvement (McDade et al., 2015), peer influence (Griffith & Jackman, 2020), and perceived risk (Estoup et al., 2016) have been studied independently to explore the relationship between these constructs and adolescent substance use; however, they have not been collectively analyzed utilizing TPB as a theoretical foundation while focusing on the African American adolescent population. Future longitudinal studies may examine the impact of parental controls and parental attitudes on perceived risk, peer influence, and subsequent marijuana use among African American youth.…”

As marijuana use is increasingly decriminalized in the United States, the research suggests that understanding the importance of risk and protective factors within each racial/ethnic group is key to buffering the impact marijuana has on youth. Therefore, the current study examined the potential impacts of psychosocial factors included in the Theory of Planned Behavior—perceived risk, peer disapproval, and parental involvement—on marijuana use in a nationally representative sample of African American youth (n = 1768). Increased perceived risk, peer disapproval, and parental involvement were each associated with lower rates of last year marijuana use. Implications for prevention and treatment are discussed.

“…We located only two Caribbean studies focused on peer use of cannabis, albeit not among youth from Sint Maarten. Those studies found that peer cannabis use was associated with cannabis use among adolescents in Jamaica (Thompson & Paul, 2005) and in Barbados (Griffith & Jackman, 2019). Several of these studies referenced above are either cross-sectional or did not look at whether there are bi-directional associations among these factors.…”

This longitudinal two‐wave cross‐national study investigated whether intentions, friends' substance use, and parent‐adolescent substance‐use specific communication predict adolescent alcohol and cannabis use 1 year later, while estimating reversed links. The temporal order between these two substances was also examined. We used multi‐group cross‐lagged panel modeling on data from 2 ethnically and socioeconomically diverse samples: Sint Maarten (N = 350; Mage = 14.19) and the Netherlands (N = 602; Mage = 13.50). Results showed that in the Netherlands, cannabis use predicts more subsequent problems (alcohol use, intention to use cannabis, and affiliation with cannabis‐using friends). But for Sint Maarten, alcohol use predicts more subsequent problems (cannabis use, intention to use alcohol, and affiliation with alcohol‐using friends). These opposing results demonstrate that caution is warranted when generalizing results across countries.
