“…The findings of the present study document that specific adolescent health risk behaviors are associated significantly with adolescents' own and their perceptions of peers' underage alcohol use as indexed by a brief, developmentally informed 2-item underage alcohol use screening tool. Previous studies have highlighted the role of adolescents' risky patterns of alcohol use in the increased likelihood of DUI or riding with an intoxicated driver (Buckley et al, 2017) as well as other forms of substance use, with increases in both short-and long-term risk for morbidity and mortality (Moss, Chen, & Yi, 2014;Terry-McElrath, O'Malley, & Johnston, 2013). Underage alcohol consumption in the company of peers is also significantly associated with a wide range of sexual and other risk behaviors during adolescence (Hingson & White, 2014;Monahan, Rhew, Hawkins, & Brown, 2014;Stueve & O'Donnell, 2005).…”
