Examining the stability of young-adult alcohol and tobacco co-use: A latent transition analysis

Abstract: Although use of both alcohol and tobacco is common among college-attending young adults, little is known about the stability of co-use over time. Difficulties in studying change in these behaviors may reflect inconsistencies in how smoking in particular is categorized. The current study used longitudinal data, gathered at three time points three months apart, to examine cigarette and alcohol use profiles and the stability of profile structure and membership.Undergraduate student smokers' (N=320) past 30-day al… Show more

“…Most ANTP expectancy domains included 1–2 items, and may not reflect the full scope of these constructs. Only recent ANTP use was assessed; given the instability of tobacco use in young adults (Schweizer, Roesch, Khoddam, Doran, & Myers, 2014), the stability of the relationships between expectancies and use are unknown. The study was cross-sectional, precluding examination of the impact of expectancies on ANTP initiation or progression, or the temporal relationship between ANTP and cigarette use.…”

“…Similarly, we only assessed tobacco use over the past 30 days. Given the instability of alcohol and tobacco use in young adults [38], it is possible that the current data do not accurately reflect participants’ general patterns of use.…”
