“…A second promising selective approach is a personalitybased model targeting four personality risk factors for early onset drinking or illicit drug use in early adolescence, including impulse control and sensation seeking. This school-based program has now been shown to prevent adolescent alcohol and substance misuse in three separate trials across Canada (Conrod, Stewart, Comeau, & Maclean, 2006) and the United Kingdom (Conrod, Castellanos, & Mackie, 2008;Conrod, Castellanos-Ryan, & Mackie, 2011;Conrod et al, 2010;O'Leary-Barrett, Mackie, Castellanos-Ryan, Al-Khudhairy, & Conrod, 2010). In this way, implementing targeted clinical interventions prior to initial exposure to drugs prevents or reduces the adverse impact from substance use on the developing brain and other potential harms, as well as reduces some of the huge financial costs of addiction treatment in adulthood.…”

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 ...

“…Indeed, individuals who use to cope with negative affect have a higher rate of negative affect and are more likely to have high levels of anxiety sensitivity and hopelessness (e.g., Conrod et al, 2011;Hecimovic, Barrett, Darredeau, & Stewart, 2013;Johnson, Mullin, Marshall, Bonn-Miller, & Zvolensky, 2010;Mitchell, Zvolensky, Marshall, Bonn-Miller, & Vujanovic, 2007;Woicik, Stewart, Pihl, & Conrod, 2009). The few studies that have examined the predicted relationship with deficient coping strategies have found mixed support Cooper, Russell, & George, 1988;Corbin, Farmer, & Nolen-Hoekesma, 2013;Windle & Windle, 1996).…”

Motives for alcohol use are associated with distinct antecedents and consequences.Drinking alcohol to cope with negative affect is consistently associated with the most problematic patterns of use. Interventions targeting drinking to cope are needed. This randomized controlled treatment trial evaluated the impact of a brief coping motive feedback-based intervention on motives and problematic outcomes associated with drinking. In addition, a more comprehensive model of the antecedents and consequences of drinking to cope was tested. The study randomized 170 participants to receive either a brief Standard Feedback Condition (SFC; n = 83) or a Motives Feedback Condition (MFC; n = 87) that added education and feedback on drinking to cope as well as alternate coping strategies. Significant reductions in drinking to cope with depression were greater in the MFC at the 2-month follow-up, but the intervention's effect on drinking to cope with anxiety did not reach conventional levels of statistical significance.Significant reductions in drinking and negative consequences were observed but did not differ significantly by condition. Change in coping with depression motives mediated the effect of the intervention on outcomes of drinking and negative consequences. Partial support was found for a structural model linking antecedents of use, coping motives, and consequences associated with substance use. This study is a promising new direction in motives research, providing support for brief interventions incorporating motives-related feedback and for furthering our understanding of the origins and consequences of drinking to cope with negative affect.

La SURPS a déjà été utilisée à plusieurs reprises pour des projets d'intervention dans les écoles 8,11,12,[21][22][23][24] , toujours dans un cadre de recherche clinique. Jusqu'ici, elle n'a jamais été utilisée dans un cadre uniquement clinique.…”

Objectif : La Substance Use Risk Profile Scale (SURPS) est un instrument de dépistage des caractéristiques de personnalité qui représentent un risque pour le développement d'une consommation problématique de substances. La SURPS comporte 23 items évaluant 4 dimensions et permet aux intervenants en santé mentale de mieux cibler la prévention. La SURPS a été validée au Canada anglais, au Royaume-Uni, en Chine et au Sri Lanka; l'objectif de cette étude est de valider une traduction française de la SURPS pour des adolescents francophones québécois, en plus d'en tester la sensibilité dans une population clinique.Méthode : Deux cent deux jeunes de 15 ans d'un échantillon communautaire ont répondu à la SURPS et à des mesures de la personnalité et de l'utilisation de substances. La cohérence interne, la solution factorielle et la validité concomitante de l'échelle ont été évaluées. Quarante adolescents (âge moyen de 15,7 ans) présentant un diagnostic psychiatrique ont également répondu à la SURPS et les scores ont été comparés aux normes de l'échantillon communautaire.Résultats : La traduction française de la SURPS démontre une bonne cohérence interne ainsi qu'une solution factorielle à 4 facteurs semblable à la version originale. Ses 4 sous-échelles ont une bonne validité concomitante. De plus, 3 de ses sous-échelles sont corrélées avec des mesures relatives à la consommation de substances psychoactives. Finalement, 95 % des participants de l'échantillon clinique ont été identifiés à risque selon les scores limites de la SURPS. Conclusion :La version française de la SURPS paraît être une mesure valide et sensible pouvant être utilisée auprès d'une population adolescente, québécoise et francophone. W W W
