“…. There is a growing interest in the important role that schools may play in preventing adolescent antisocial behavior [5] and the finding that school factors were especially protective for the older grades in this study suggests that such efforts should extend throughout the secondary school years. As there has been little focus on environmental policy interventions for younger students, policies in both schools and communities that may influence early teens may be warranted.…”

“…Several individual and personality factors such as sensation seeking, poor impulse control, and conscientiousness are linked to adolescent outcomes [3,4]. Several factors related to a youth's engagement with school predict adolescent outcomes, including academic failure, commitment to school, and disengagement from school [5]. Affiliation with antisocial peers also is strongly linked to adolescent problem behaviors [6,7].…”

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.

“…However, this moderating effect of parents on peer influence was not examined in the context of polysubstance use. Outside the proximal influence of parents and peers, school is one of the most important socialization units that provide opportunities for prosocial activities and context to socialize with peers (Catalano, Oesterle, Fleming, & Hawkins, A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T (Bond et al, 2007;Catalano et al, 2004), but it is unclear if these school factors moderate the relationship between substance-using peers and polysubstance use.…”

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,

“…In general, low school connectedness is significantly associated with health-compromising behaviors (Bond et al, 2007;Conrad, Flay, & Hill, 1992;Samdal, Wold, Klepf, & Kannas, 2000). Several studies have found a relationship between low levels of student connectedness and higher levels of substance use.…”

The present study was aimed at investigating the relationships between students' perceived classroom achievement goals, school engagement and substance use in terms of smoking and drinking, and at investigating gender differences regarding these issues in a sample of 1,239 Norwegian 10 th grade students. A multivariate analysis showed that motivational and affective school engagement was predicted primarily by the students' perception of a mastery goal structure. However, motivational engagement was significantly more strongly predicted by achievement goal structures among boys than girls, in particular by mastery goal structure. The results also showed that school engagement, particularly motivational engagement, was negatively related to substance use. In conclusion, school engagement seems to be an important multi-dimensional indicator of motivation which is related both to perceived classroom goal structure and to students' substance use in terms of smoking and drinking. Despite the correlational design of the present study, it is reasonable to advise the promotion of a mastery goal structure in the classroom.Keywords: Classroom achievement goal structure, school engagement, substance use, gender differences, motivation INTRODUCTIONSchool engagement has emerged as an important indicator of adjustment to life among adolescents (Archambault, Janosz, Fallu, & Pagani, 2009). Whereas students with a high level of school engagement are generally more successful at school, disengaged students are more likely to perform poorly and to exhibit problem behavior (SimonsMorton, 2004;Wang & Holcombe, 2010). For example, lack of school engagement among adolescents may increase the risk of school dropout, substance use (e.g., smoking and drinking), teenage pregnancy, and criminal activity (Blondal & Adalbjarnardottir, 2012;Caraway, Tucker, Reinke, & Hall, 2003;Sagatun, Heyerdahl, Wentzel-Larsen, & Lien, 2014). From a health perspective, a major objective is preventing adolescents from initiating substance use because this is a risk factor for subsequent substance use (Simons-Morton, 2004).Given that there is a relationship between school engagement and substance use, it would appear important to investigate factors in schools and classrooms that may be associated with the students' level of school engagement (Lam et al., 2014). For example, previous research has shown that students' school engagement may be accounted for by how they experience the learning climate at school, in particular by the classroom achievement goal structure q Å ge Diseth and Oddrun Samdal This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/ by/3.0), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
