“…This said, several studies have shown that self-reports are reliable when assessing personality (e.g., De Fruyt, Mervielde, Hoekstra, & Rolland, 2000), as well as substance use or other behavioral problems in adolescence (Clark & Winters, 2002;Crowley, Mikulich, Ehlers, Whitmore, & MacDonald, 2001), and hence are useful for clinical practice and research. This, together with guaranteed confidentiality to participants, should contribute to the reliability and validity of these data.…”

Most research linking early pubertal development to substance use has focused on the effects of pubertal timing (age at which a certain stage of pubertal development is reached or pubertal status at a particular age-related to the maturation disparity hypothesis), but little research has focused on pubertal tempo (rate of growth through pubertal stages-related to the maturation compression hypothesis). However, both timing and tempo have not only been identified as important components of pubertal development, with different predictors, but have also been shown to be independently associated with other adolescent psychopathologies. Using latent growth-curve modeling, this study examined how pubertal status at age 12 and pubertal tempo (between 11 and 13 years) related to substance use from 15 to 16 years in boys from low socioeconomic backgrounds (N = 871). Results showed that both pubertal status at age 12 and tempo were significant predictors of increased levels of substance use and problems in mid to late adolescence. In an attempt to identify mechanisms that may explain the association between pubertal development and substance use it was found that sensation seeking partially mediated the association between pubertal status at age 12 and substance use behaviors. Impulse control was found to moderate the association sensation seeking had with marijuana use frequency, with high Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Natalie Castellanos-Ryan, Centre de recherche du CHU Ste-Justine, Université de Montréal, 3175 Chemin de la Côte Sainte-Catherine, Montréal, H3T 1C5, Canada. natalie.castellanos.ryan@umontreal.ca.

These findings highlight the importance of considering multiple sources of individual variability in the pubertal development of boys and provide support for both the maturational disparity and compression hypotheses. Keywordsadolescence; puberty; substance use; impulsivity; sensation seekingAdolescence is an important developmental period for the onset of substance use and misuse, with some considering exploratory drug use as normative during this period (e.g., Shedler & Block, 1990). Some Canadian statistics show that 42% of adolescents attending Grades 9 through 11 (or 3-5 of high school) have used cannabis in the last year, and by Grade 11, 86% of them were drinking alcohol (Dubé et al., 2009). Similarly, epidemiologic studies in the United States show that up to 50% of high school students report binge drinking, and around 25% report having tried an illicit substance (Office of National Statistics, 2008; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2007). Youth substance use is also prevalent in Europe, with almost half of all young people in the United Kingdom trying an illegal drug by the age of 16 years and around one third of adolescents ...

Background-One potential site of convergence of the nicotine and alcohol actions is the family of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Our study examines the genetic association between variations in the genomic region containing the CHRNA5, A3 and B4 gene cluster (A5A3B4) and several phenotypes of alcohol and tobacco use in an ethnically diverse young adult sample. Significant results were then replicated in a separate adult population-representative sample.

Cannabis is a major substance of abuse, and the gene encoding for the central cannabinoid receptor (CNR1) is a logical candidate gene for vulnerability toward developing symptoms of cannabis dependence. We studied four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CNR1 gene for association with having one or more symptoms of cannabis dependence in 541 adolescent subjects who had all tried cannabis five or more times. Cases (327) were defined as those who had tried marijuana and developed one or more symptoms, and controls (214) as those who had tried marijuana but developed no dependence symptoms. Cannabis dependence symptoms were assessed in these youth when they were 17 or older with the Composite International Diagnostic Interview-Substance Abuse Module. Univariate (single-marker) association tests demonstrated that SNP rs806380, located in intron 2 of the CNR1 gene, was significantly associated with developing one or more cannabis dependence symptoms, with the G allele having a protective effect (p < 0.02). This was consistent with the results of the global haplotype test (p < 0.01). One of the common haplotypes examined (present in 21% of the subjects) was significantly associated with a lower rate of having one or more cannabis dependence symptoms. Our findings provide evidence suggesting that a common CNR1 haplotype is associated with developing fewer cannabis dependence symptoms among adolescents who have experimented with cannabis.
