Developmental trajectories into substance use in adolescenceMcAloon, Thomas John, Psychology, Faculty of Science, UNSW January 2006 (has links)
The present study examined cross-sectional and longitudinal developmental characteristics of the association between mental health and substance use. N=1182 adolescents aged between 11 and 20 years were recruited from schools in Australia. Participants completed the Youth Self Report (YSR) (Achenbach, 1991a) and reported on their use of alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana, their social ability, their motivation for using substances, their ability to regulate emotion, and the influences of their parents and peers on their substance use. N=561 of time one participants were retained for testing one year later to assess the potential to predict substance use at time two from mental health at time one. Results indicated a clear and consistent cross-sectional association between externalising scores on the YSR and use of the three substances, regardless of gender. The relation between internalising scores and substance use was non-significant. When the relation between externalising scores and substance use was assessed for mediation, only the influence of parents and peers was found to be significant. A cross-sectional structural model developed to account for this association was demonstrated to be invariant across the three substances of interest, and across gender, but not age category. There was no evidence that social skills, emotion regulation, or substance use motives, had roles in mediating the relationship between mental health and substance use. A model was developed to assess the potential to predict substance use at time two from externalising scores at time one. Results showed that externalising scores predicted increases in alcohol use via parent and peer attitudes. Thus, externalising disposition, in the context of a facilitative social environment, was predictive of an increase in alcohol use over time. Structural models developed to account for the predictive relation between externalising scores and use of cigarettes and marijuana proved unstable and could not be tested. Substance use at time one was not predictive of externalising scores at time two. The results of the present research are discussed in relation to their potential to inform the developmental substance use literature, and efforts directed against the development of substance use problems. Limitations of the present research are noted.

Drug and alcohol use by freshman at Siuslaw High School and their opinions regarding potentially effective drug and alcohol education programsByrd, Marcia J. 02 May 1995 (has links)
This study addressed the incidence of drug use by
freshmen at Siuslaw High School in Florence, Oregon, and
sought their opinions about effective drug and alcohol
prevention programs. The purpose was to provide basic data
which would ultimately assist in specific drug and alcohol
programs for this population.
In phase one, 83 students from four of seven freshmen
Health Education randomly selected classes were given the
Washington State Survey of Adolescent Health Behavior.
This survey consisted of 81 questions about student demographics, students' drug use, and their opinions of drug prevention programs. During phase two, the students were
asked open-ended questions about their suggestions for more
effective drug prevention programs and curriculum.
The survey revealed an average amount of drug use and
that the students did not think the drug prevention program at Siuslaw was working. The survey also revealed that teenagers are influenced to drink and use drugs by the
media, their friends, and by a lack of activities offered
by the community.
The study conclusions showed that Florence does have
teenage drug use and the community should consider a
variety of approaches. Data suggest that more youth
support groups, more affordable counseling, and more
recreational activities may help reduce drug use. The
school needs to develop a more comprehensive drug
prevention curriculum and implement it at the younger grade
levels. The school combined with the community, should
offer more drug-free alternatives and target those youths
who are not using drugs and promote their positive
behavior. / Graduation date: 1995
