“…Studies that have assessed longitudinal patterns of underage alcohol use have examined time frames as short as 1 or 2 years (e.g., D'Amico et al, 2001;van den Eijnden et al, 2011;van der Vorst et al, 2006van der Vorst et al, , 2009 up to several years (e.g., Barnes et al, 2006;Danielsson et al, 2010;Duan et al, 2009;Hussong et al, 2008;Kelly et al, 2011;King et al, 2011;Martino et al, 2009;White et al, 2011). For example, this work has found that middle-schoolers' problems with selfcontrol predict high levels of alcohol use from Grade 8 to 11 (King et al, 2011), and low parental monitoring and high peer deviance in adolescence may be associated with higher initial levels and steeper increases of alcohol use across time (Barnes et al, 2006).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Past research has associated childhood characteristics and experiences with alcohol use at single time points in adolescence. Other work has focused on drinking trajectories across adolescence but with risk factors typically no earlier than middle or high school. Similarly, although the connection between underage drinking and affi liation with deviant friends is well established, early risk factors for their covariation across adolescence are uncertain. The present study examines the infl uence of early individual and contextual factors on (a) trajectories across high school of per-occasion alcohol use and (b) the covariation of alcohol use and deviant friends over time. Method: In a longitudinal community sample (n = 374; 51% female), temperamental disinhibition, authoritarian and authoritative parenting, and parental alcohol use were assessed during childhood, and adolescents reported on alcohol use and affi liation with deviant friends in the spring of Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. Results: Early parental alcohol use predicted the intercept of adolescent drinking. Subsequent patterns of adolescent alcohol use were predicted by sex and interactions of sex and childhood disinhibition with early authoritarian parenting. Additionally, childhood disinhibition interacted with parental alcohol use to moderate the covariation of drinking and deviant friends. Conclusions: These fi ndings highlight early individual and contextual risk factors for alcohol use across high school, extending previous work and underscoring the importance of developmental approaches and longitudinal techniques for understanding patterns of growth in underage drinking.

“…In their study of adolescents ages 10-16 years at Wave 1 through ages 16-22 years at Wave 3, Skeer et al (2011) found that family confl ict predicted an increased risk of substance use disorder. Finally, based on a sample of 10-year-olds followed through to 16 years of age (n = 854), Kelly et al (2011a) found that preceding family confl ict predicted alcohol consumption in girls.…”

“…The study is unique because of its focus on a compressed developmental period that is clearly linked to the heightened impact of family factors (Nash et al, 2005), the growth of depressed mood for girls in particular (Garber et al, 2002;Mason et al, 2007;Saraceno et al, 2012), and the growth in heavy alcohol use that commonly occurs over this developmental period (Kelly et al, 2011a). The key hypotheses of the present study were that (a) family confl ict at Wave 1 (modal age 12 years for this study) would longitudinally predict depressed mood more strongly for girls relative to boys (Wave 2, modal age 13 years), and (b) depressed mood at Wave 2 would predict heavy alcohol use at Wave 3 (modal age 14 years).…”

“…To further the current research, we sought to test whether this effect is independent of key correlates of alcohol use and depression, including school commitment, and the number of peers who consume alcohol (Kelly et al, 2011a(Kelly et al, , 2012a(Kelly et al, , 2012b. We also controlled for whether parents were living together and a proxy indicator of ethnic background, given research showing that these are modestly related to alcohol use (Dauber et al, 2011).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Heavy alcohol use increases dramatically at age 14, and there is emerging cross-sectional evidence that when girls experience family confl ict at younger ages (11-13 years) the risk of alcohol use and misuse is high. This study evaluated the role of family confl ict and subsequent depressed mood in predicting heavy alcohol use among adolescent girls. Method: This was a three-wave longitudinal study with annual assessments (modal ages 12, 13, and 14 years). The participants (N = 886, 57% female) were from 12 metropolitan schools in Victoria, Australia, and participants completed questionnaires during school class time. The key measures were based on the Communities That Care Youth Survey and included family confl ict (Wave 1), depressed mood (Wave 2), and heavy alcohol use (Wave 3). Control variables included school commitment, number of peers who consumed alcohol, whether parents were living together, and ethnic background. Results: With all controls in the model, depressed mood at Wave 2 was predicted by family confl ict at Wave 1. The interaction of family confl ict with gender was signifi cant, with girls showing a stronger association of family confl ict and depressed mood. Depressed mood at Wave 2 predicted heavy alcohol use at Wave 3. Conclusions: Girls may be especially vulnerable to family confl ict, and subsequent depressed mood increases the risk of heavy alcohol use. The results support the need for gender-sensitive family-oriented prevention programs delivered in late childhood and early adolescence. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 74, 396-405, 2013)

Comorbid alcohol and mental health disorders: a longitudinal analysis of development to young adulthood

Background:Alcohol is the most widely consumed of the psychoactive substances and was responsible in 2012 for nearly 6% of all global deaths. Disorders of alcohol use are highly comorbid with mental health disorders and create a significant health burden: the two are responsible for 183.9 million DALYs annually. The majority of this burden of disease falls on young adults, and despite the poorer prognosis and more frequent relapse that characterise this condition, information on early life factors associated with its development is limited. Data provided by large scale population studies and reports on clinical samples are valuable but are limited by the lack of prospective measures or cannot be generalised due to sample specificity. Although predictors of alcohol use disorders and mental health disorders have separately been widely studied, their application to comorbidity is not straightforward. Aims:This study has three main aims:1. To describe the prevalence, types and onset of comorbidities of mental health and alcohol use disorders in young Australians; 2. To understand factors from different phases of the life span which may predict the onset of comorbidity or be affected by it, and which may present targets for intervention; and 3. To consider the role of alcohol in the context of illicit substance and mental health comorbidities.In this context, this research program aims to explore factors which may distinguish comorbidity from its constituent disorders. Methods:Data from this study were drawn predominantly from the Mater-University of Queensland Study of Pregnancy (MUSP), a pre-birth linked cohort of mothers and children begun in 1981. The baseline sample of 7223 pregnancies comprising the original cohort was followed for twenty-one years, providing prospective measures of health and related factors for both mother and child. At twenty one years, structured psychiatric interviews of the offspring provided lifetime DSM-IV diagnoses of mental health, alcohol and other substance use disorders. The condition of interest, alcohol and mental health disorders which co-occurred within a 12-month period, was examined in light of important developmental factors ranging from pre-birth to late adolescence, using primarily ii multinomial logistic regression analyses. Additional data from the Healthy Neighbourhoods Study were analysed to examine potential markers of early-emerging co-occurring conditions in pre-adolescent students. Key findings:Comorbid alcohol and mental health disorders are highly prevalent at young adulthood, occurring in 12% of this representative sample. Indicators of this comorbidity may be detected in children as young as 10-14 years old. A number of factors distinguish the risk of comorbidity from that of single disorders. Socio-economic disadvantage derived from the family of origin contributes significantly to the risk of comorbidity, with risk increasing in a dose-response manner for multiple dimensions of disadvantage. Maternal smoking during pregnancy is also implicated, indep...
