“…Thirdly, the effect on adolescent drinking of having parents who are currently unemployed is examined. Krohn, Lizotte & Perez (1997) and Gaviria & Raphael (2001) found the socio-economic status of parents to be a significant predictor of adolescent drinking, while Jessor, Donovan & Costa (1991) found no effect. Finally, the effects of having received education about alcohol, narcotics and tobacco (ANT education) are examined.…”

Aims To analyse the determinants of youth drinking behaviour within an economic-theoretical framework. The paper focuses especially on the effects of (a) having parents willing to supply alcohol, (b) living in a single-parent household, (c) having parents who are currently unemployed and (d) having received education about alcohol, narcotics and tobacco. Design, setting and participants A Swedish cross-sectional survey data on 833 individuals aged 12-18 years was used to analyse the effects of the above variables on participation in drinking, frequency of drinking, intensity of drinking and binge drinking. Separate analyses were conducted for beer, wine and spirits. Care was taken in using appropriate econometric methods for the questions posed (negative binomial regression, censored regression and probit regression). Findings Having parents willing to supply alcohol increased frequency ( P < 0.05) of beer, wine and spirits consumption, intensity ( P < 0.05) of wine, spirits and illicit alcohol consumption, and increased probabilities ( P < 0.10) of binge drinking and participation in drinking ( P < 0.05). No effects were seen from living in a single-parent household. Having received education about alcohol, narcotics and tobacco had a negative association only with intensity ( P < 0.10) of beer consumption. Having a father who was currently unemployed was associated with an increased ( P < 0.05) probability of binge drinking but a reduced ( P < 0.05) frequency of wine consumption. Conclusions The positive effect of having parents willing to supply alcohol could reflect that these individuals face lower acquisition costs or lower psychological costs in consumption. It could also reflect a price effect, if the individual receives the alcohol free from his or her parents.

“…Alcohol use among adolescents has been associated with drunk driving (Swahn & Hammig 2000), risky sexual behaviour (Cooper, Peirce & Huselid 1994), reduced academic performance (Krohn, Lizotte & Perez 1997), violence (Miczek et al . 1994) and injuries (Bonomo et al .…”

“…Frequent marijuana use during adolescence has been found to be associated with dropping out of high school (Bray, Zarkin, Ringwalt, & Qi, 2000;Ellickson, Bui, Bell, & McGuigan, 1998; Ensminger, Lamkin, & Jacobson, 1996;Fergusson & Horwood, 1997;Fergusson, Horwood, & Beautrais, 2003;Krohn, Lizotte, & Perez, 1997;Mensch & Kandel, 1988;Yamada, Kendix, & Yamada, 1996), fewer years of schooling (Fergusson & Horwood, 1997), and failure to enter university or obtain a university degree (Fergusson et al, 2003); it has also been found to be associated with having lower educational expectations, being suspended or expelled from school, and being "high" at school (Brook et al, 2002). Because adequate education is needed for successful functioning in a variety of adult roles, especially employment, and studies have shown that early marijuana use may lead to poor education (see Lynskey & Hall, 2000, for a review), early marijuana use's association with later poor outcomes may be an indirect one through education.…”

“…Researchers have found that adolescent drug use puts an individual at increased risk of early pregnancy (Krohn, Lizotte, & Perez, 1997;Newcomb & Bentler, 1985) and unintended premarital pregnancy (Brook et al, 2002;Halikas, Weller, Morse, & Hoffman, 1983;Kandel et al, 1986). Mensch and Kandel (1992) found that this increased risk of premarital pregnancy attributed to early drug use may be the result of an increase in the risk of early sexual experimentation.…”

The authors examined the effects of heavy adolescent marijuana use on employment, marriage, and family formation and tested both dropping out of high school and adult marijuana use as potential mediators of these associations among a community sample of African Americans followed longitudinally from age 6 to age 32-33. They used propensity score matching to reduce selection bias when estimating the effects of heavy adolescent marijuana use. Logistic regression results on the sample matched on sex, and early demographic and behavioral variables showed that adolescent marijuana use has adult social behavioral consequences: Use of marijuana 20 times or more during adolescence was associated with being unemployed and unmarried in young adulthood and having children outside of marriage for both males and females. Dropping out of high school and more frequent adult marijuana use seem to be important parts of the pathway from adolescent marijuana use to negative life outcomes. Keywords adolescent marijuana use; social behavioral functioning; longitudinal studies; long-term consequences Marijuana is the most common of all illicit substances used by adolescents. Findings from the Monitoring the Future Survey, a national annual survey of students, show that over 20% of high school seniors report current use, 34% report use in the past year, and almost half (45%) report lifetime use of marijuana (Johnston, O'Malley, Bachman, & Schulenberg, 2005). Although the literature consistently discusses the widespread nature of adolescent marijuana use and the risk factors associated with use, considerably less is known about the effects of adolescent marijuana use on later functioning (Brook, Adams, Balka, & Johnson, 2002;Newcomb, 1997), especially in minority populations (Beauvais & Oetting, 2002). Even though many of the concurrent effects that result from teenage drug use (e.g., memory and attention impairment, risky decision making, driving injuries and fatalities, delinquentCorrespondence concerning this article should be addressed to Kerry M.

Although most teenage marijuana use is time-limited and typically ends by one's mid-20s (Bachman, Wadsworth, O'Malley, Johnston, & Schulenberg, 1997), it is unclear if effects persist after use desists or even develop later in life. This information would be useful in developing drug prevention and intervention programs.Because adolescence is an important time for the development of skills necessary to function as an adult in society, marijuana use, especially hea...

“…[1][2][3][4][5] These findings are of growing concerns especially as other researchers have noted that drug use during adolescence has a tendency to continue and increase during young adulthood and university life. [6][7] Drug consumption among college students far exceeds use of drugs by non-college peers, an Ontario University Study reports. The study disclosed that 94.5% of students reported drinking alcoholic beverage within the last year the study was conducted.…”

ABSTRACT:This study sought to explore the simultaneous polydrug use pattern across genders of 1 st and 2 nd year undergraduate students in one university in Kingston, Jamaica. There were 295 study participants (58 males and 237 females) from the faculty of Medical Sciences at a local university. The study used a self administered questionnaire which addressed various aspects of drug use and simultaneous polydrug use. Unadjusted results revealed a significantly higher simultaneous polydrug use among males than females 40.9% and 14.3% respectively in the last 12 months (χ 2 , p=0.009) and in the last 30 days 8.9% vs. 1.7% (χ 2 , p=0.014). These results suggest a prominence of simultaneous polydrug use behaviour among male undergraduate students in this population compared with females, although further research is required. DESCRIPTORS:Students. Street drugs. Behaviour addictive. Substance-Related disorders. Risk factors.
