“…Characteristics of a harmful family context include having parents who are not responsive to the needs and emotions of their children (Baumrind, 1985(Baumrind, , 1991Jackson, Henriksen, & Foshee, 1998), do not set and enforce clear standards of behavior (Baumrind, 1985(Baumrind, , 1991Jackson et al, 1998), express approval or do not express disapproval of cigarette and alcohol use (Andrews, Hops, Ary, Tildesley, & Harris, 1993;Brook, Whiteman, Gordon, & Cohen, 1986;Kandel & Andrews, 1987), do not actively discourage use (Andrews et al, 1993;Komro et al, 2001), and do not state expectations and consequences related to substance use (Komro et al, 2001). …”

We tested biosocial models that posit interactions between biological variables (testosterone, estradiol, pubertal status, and pubertal timing) and social context variables (family, peer, school, and neighborhood) in predicting adolescent involvement with cigarettes and alcohol in a sample of 409 adolescents in grades 6 and 8. Models including the biological and contextual variables and their interactions explained significantly more variance in adolescent cigarette and alcohol involvement than did models including only the main effects of the biological and contextual variables. Post-hoc analyses of significant interactions suggested that, in most case, moderation occurred in the hypothesized direction. Consistent with dual hazards models of adolescent antisocial behaviors, the relationships between the biological and substance use variables became positive and stronger as the context became more harmful. Considerations of adolescent substance use, and perhaps other problem behaviors, should recognize the possible role of biological variables and how their influence may vary by social context. Keywordshormones; adolescent cigarette use; adolescent alcohol use; biosocial models Research on adolescent problem behaviors has largely been limited to examining the influence of psychological and social factors. However, several theoretical perspectives suggest that biological factors also play a role in the development of adolescent problem behaviors (Flay & Petraitis, 1994;Huba, Wingard, & Bentler, 1980;Jessor, 1991). Collectively, these theories suggest the need to consider biological, psychological, and social factors together to better understand problem behaviors that begin and accelerate during early adolescence. Moreover, they emphasize that individuals are embedded in social contexts and that there is dynamic interaction between the contexts and biological factors. However, most research does not simultaneously consider both contextual and biological variables. In this study, we consider the interaction of biological factors and social contexts as they relate to adolescent involvement with cigarettes and alcohol. The biological variables NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript to be examined include hormonal processes and characteristics of pubertal development. The social contexts considered include family, peers, school, and neighborhood, which are considered key contexts in the lives of adolescents (Bronfenbrenner, 1979;Brooks-Gunn, 1987). Our hypotheses are guided by dual-hazards models of antisocial behavior which propose that a biological propensity for antisocial behavior will be exacerbated in harmful social contexts.The hormones examined are testosterone for both boys and girls, and estradiol for girls. Testosterone and estradiol are sex steroids from two endocrine groups: androgens (testosterone) and estrogens (estradiol). They are responsible for the sexual maturation changes associated with puberty that typically begin around age 11 for girls and age 12 fo...

“…First, we focus on the effects of the child having parents willing to provide alcohol. Previous studies have shown that favourable parental attitudes towards drinking are associated with a tendency for adolescents to both initiate and continue drinking (Kandel & Andrews 1987;Andrews et al . 1993;Ary et al .…”

Aims To analyse the determinants of youth drinking behaviour within an economic-theoretical framework. The paper focuses especially on the effects of (a) having parents willing to supply alcohol, (b) living in a single-parent household, (c) having parents who are currently unemployed and (d) having received education about alcohol, narcotics and tobacco. Design, setting and participants A Swedish cross-sectional survey data on 833 individuals aged 12-18 years was used to analyse the effects of the above variables on participation in drinking, frequency of drinking, intensity of drinking and binge drinking. Separate analyses were conducted for beer, wine and spirits. Care was taken in using appropriate econometric methods for the questions posed (negative binomial regression, censored regression and probit regression). Findings Having parents willing to supply alcohol increased frequency ( P < 0.05) of beer, wine and spirits consumption, intensity ( P < 0.05) of wine, spirits and illicit alcohol consumption, and increased probabilities ( P < 0.10) of binge drinking and participation in drinking ( P < 0.05). No effects were seen from living in a single-parent household. Having received education about alcohol, narcotics and tobacco had a negative association only with intensity ( P < 0.10) of beer consumption. Having a father who was currently unemployed was associated with an increased ( P < 0.05) probability of binge drinking but a reduced ( P < 0.05) frequency of wine consumption. Conclusions The positive effect of having parents willing to supply alcohol could reflect that these individuals face lower acquisition costs or lower psychological costs in consumption. It could also reflect a price effect, if the individual receives the alcohol free from his or her parents.

“…Although cigarette and alcohol use are both considered problem behaviors (Jessor & Jessor, 1977) and hence are often combined into a single construct for the purpose of analyses, they also have unique etiological factors associated with each of them (e.g., Andrews, Hops, Ary, Tildesley, & Harris, 1993;Andrews, Hops & Duncan, 1997) and differ as to their prevalence and acceptability by society. Alcohol use is more normative than is cigarette use, and young children are more likely to try alcohol (Andrews, Tildesley, Hops, Duncan & Severson, 2003).…”

The present study predicts cigarette and alcohol use in adolescence from the development of children's cognitions in the elementary years, beginning in the second through the fifth grade. Using Latent Growth Modeling, we examined a model using data from 712 participants in the Oregon Youth Substance Use Project, who were in the second through fifth grade at the first assessment and followed for six annual or semi-annual assessments over seven years. Growth in children's prototypes and subjective norms in the elementary years (T1 through T4) were related to their substance use in adolescence (T6) through their willingness and intentions (T5) to smoke and drink. Across the sample, for both substances, the intercept and slope of prototypes were either indirectly related to use through willingness or directly related to use. Both the intercept and slope of subjective norms were indirectly related to use of both substances through both willingness and intentions, and directly related to cigarette use. Results suggest that elementary children have measurable cognitions regarding substance use, which develop during the elementary years, and predict use later in adolescence. These findings emphasize the need for prevention programs targeting changing children's social images of substance users and encouraging more accurate perceptions of peers' use.
