“…Generally, youth have their first encounters with alcohol in early or middle adolescence (Patrick and Schulenberg 2010), and the current research demonstrated that parents can have a substantial impact on their children’s alcohol use at this time. Consequently, a well-designed prevention campaign might profitably focus on educating parents about the importance of responsiveness (Donaldson et al 2015) and democratic rule setting (Ennett et al 2013) in addition to the influence of their own drinking behaviors (Van Der Vorst et al 2006) and expectancies (Lamb and Crano 2014).…”

Binge drinking is associated with many health and financial costs and is linked to risks of legal consequences. As alcohol use typically is initiated during adolescence, the current study assessed the relationship between parental behaviors and strategies in forecasting adolescents’ likelihood of binge drinking and later arrest. Restricted data from waves I–IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health were used to assess hypotheses. A weighted path analytic model (N = 9421) provided a multifaceted picture of variables linked to later antisocial behavior. Low parental monitoring, low parental warmth, parent alcohol use, and parent expectancies regarding their children’s alcohol use were associated with higher incidence of adolescent binge drinking. In turn, low monitoring, low warmth, parent alcohol use, parent expectancies, and underage consumption were associated with binge drinking in early adulthood. Binge drinking during both adolescence and young adulthood were predictive of respondents’ likelihood of arrest 8–14 years later. Findings demonstrated the substantial, enduring effects of parental behaviors on child alcohol-related actions and have implications for parent-targeted interventions designed to reduce excessive alcohol consumption. They suggest campaigns that focus on parenting strategies that involve setting effective and strict alcohol-related rules and guidelines, while maintaining a warm and supportive family environment.

“…Interestingly, girls were more likely than boys to use alcohol and marijuana on the weekends. Girls' weekend use likely occurs during unsupervised time with friends (Patrick and Schulenberg, 2010). Particularly, male friends (Velazquez et al, 2011) and dating partners (Collins et al, 2009) represent strong infl uences on girls' substance use (Mrug et al, 2011;Poulin et al, 2011).…”

“…Although afternoons are a risky time for younger adolescents, older adolescents engage in greater use in the evenings (Connolly et al, 1992;Sussman et al, 1998). Further, adolescents who spend evenings and weekends with their friends have increased odds of heavy alcohol use (Patrick and Schulenberg, 2010).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: This study examined the location and time of adolescent use of cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana. Age, gender, and racial differences in location and time of use were studied for each substance. Method: Using cross-sectional data collected through the schoolwide Pride Survey, 20,055 students between the ages of 10 and 19 years (53.6% female, 55.1% Black, 44.9% White) in one metropolitan area reported on their frequency of cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use, as well as the location and time of use of each substance. Chi-square tests compared the rates, locations, and times for each substance across boys and girls; Black and White students; and early, middle, and late adolescents. Results: Older adolescents reported higher rates of substance use at friends' homes, at school, and in cars and lower rates of alcohol use at home compared with younger youth. Males were more likely to report alcohol and marijuana use at school and on weeknights and alcohol use in cars, whereas females were more likely to report alcohol and marijuana use on the weekends. No gender differences emerged for times and locations of cigarette use. Compared with Black youth, White adolescents were more likely to use all substances at friends' homes and on weekends; to smoke cigarettes at school, in the car, and on weeknights; and to use alcohol at home. Black adolescents were more likely to report using alcohol at home, at school, in cars, during and after school, and on weeknights and were more likely to report using marijuana at school. Conclusions: The location and time of adolescent substance use vary substantially by age, gender, and race. These differences may help tailor substance use prevention and intervention programs to specifi c subgroups of youth to improve program effectiveness. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 74, 288-300, 2013)

“…In the Monitoring the Future Study (Johnston et al, 2008), 39% of eighth graders reported lifetime alcohol use, with 18% drinking to intoxication. Although just 16% consumed alcohol in the past month, 9.5% endorsed heavy episodic use within the past 2 weeks (Johnston et al, 2008), with 61.1% of those having done so more than one time (Patrick and Schulenberg, 2010). Evidence linking age at fi rst use to the development of problematic alcohol use has encouraged research on the emergence of drinking-related behaviors and attitudes in childhood (Dubow et al, 2008;Maggs et al, 2008;Zucker, 2008;Zucker et al, 2009).…”

Objective:The relation between social anxiety and alcohol consumption suggests aspects of both risk and protection, but most research has focused on late adolescents and emerging adults. Method: We investigated the synergistic impact of social anxiety, a need for affi liation with others, and perceived peer alcohol use on drinking in a sample of more than 1,500 early adolescents from southern California (48% girls). Via school-wide surveys, middle school students completed the Social Anxiety Scale for Children-Revised, a modifi ed version of the Interpersonal Orientation Scale, as well as measures of perceived peer drinking and self-reported lifetime and current drinking. Results: For socially anxious youths, high levels of perceived peer use in conjunction with high levels of affi liation need was associated with greater alcohol use on average and more frequent episodic drinking. Specifi c to heavy episodic drinking, the interaction of social anxiety and perceived peer drinking seemed to affect girls and boys differentially. Sex differences emerged for the moderation of social anxiety's infl uence on drinking initiation by perceived peer infl uence. Conclusions: These fi ndings suggest that alcohol-related risks associated with social anxiety might be gender specifi c and more important in earlier stages of alcohol use than previously believed.
