“…Although only a small proportion of the youngsters who experiment with substance use in adolescence develop SUD, longitudinal studies show that early onset of substance use is a strong predictor of later dependence and persistent dysfunction (Rohde et al, 2007).…”

“…Although there is limited research on the long-term consequences of adolescent PDM, adolescent substance use, in general, is associated with adverse outcomes, including lower academic achievement (Ellickson et al, 2004), delinquency (D'Amico et al, 2008), unprotected sexual inter-course and unplanned pregnancy (Stueve and O'Donnell, 2005), and suicide risk (Cho et al, 2007). Longitudinal research suggests that adolescent substance use also increases risk for criminality (Stenbacka and Stattin, 2007), unemployment (Rohde et al, 2007), and substance-use disorders and psychiatric dysfunction (Brook et al, 2002) in adulthood.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and correlates of nonmedical prescription drug misuse (PDM) in a state population of youths in residential care for antisocial behavior. Method: Interviews assessing substance use, psychiatric symptoms, antisocial traits/behavior, and traumatic life experiences were conducted with 723 Missouri youths. Participants were predominantly male (87.0%), averaged 15.5 (SD = 1.2) years of age, and constituted 97.7% of the service population sampled. Results: Overall, 314 youths (43.4%) reported lifetime PDM; 33.7%, 32.0%, and 11.2% had misused prescription opioids, tranquilizers, and barbiturates, respectively. Prescription drug misusers were signifi cantly older, and larger proportions were girls, were White, and resided in small towns, compared with non-prescription drug misusers. Prescription drug misusers evidenced signifi cantly more varied, frequent, and problematic psychoactive drug use; evidenced higher levels of distressing psychiatric symptoms; and were nearly twice as likely to have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, compared with non-prescription drug misusers. Traumatic life events, experiences of criminal victimization, and suicidal ideation were signifi cantly more prevalent in the histories of prescription drug misusers, compared with non-prescription drug misusers. In multiple logistic regression models, older age; White racial status; prior inhalant, marijuana, and LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) use; residence in a small town; and impulsivity were associated with increased risk for PDM. Conclusions: Adolescents in residential care for antisocial behavior have high rates of PDM, as well as comorbid psychiatric and behavioral problems. Youths served in institutional settings should be routinely screened and treated for PDM and co-occurring disorders. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 71, 917-924, 2010)

“…Approximately 17% of youth sustained an injury or an assault prior to their ED presentation, and the majority (60%) required emergent physician assessment (CTAS 1 or 2). This, coupled with the fact that youth substance use is known to predict problematic substance use and poor psychosocial functioning as an adult, [19][20][21] suggests that early identification and treatment, which is beyond the acute medical management for youth presenting to the ED with a substance use disorder, are urgently needed.…”

Objectives: Goals for this study were to characterize the substances being used by youth who presented to an emergency department (ED), their demographic descriptors, and to describe the associated acute morbidity and mortality. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of all youth, ages 10-16 years, who presented to a pediatric ED with complaints related to recreational drug use (n = 641) for 2 years ending on December 31, 2009. Results: The median age of patients was 15 years; 56% were female. Six percent of patients were homeless, and 21% were wards of the state. The most frequent ingestions included ethanol (74%), marijuana (20%), ecstasy (19%), and medications (15%). Over one third of patients had ingested two or more substances. Ninety percent of patients were brought to the ED by the emergency medical services; 63% of these activations were by non-acquaintances. Of the 47% of youth who presented with a decreased level of consciousness, half had a Glasgow Coma Scale less than 13. The Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale score was 1 or 2 for 44% of patients. Sixtyeight percent received IV fluids, 42% received medication, and 4% were intubated. The admission rate was 9%. Conclusions: Youth who presented to the ED for substance use represented a socially vulnerable population whose use of recreational substances resulted in high medical acuity and significant morbidity. Improved clinical identification of such high-risk youth and subsequent design of interventions to address problematic substance use and social issues are urgently needed to complement the acute medical care that youth receive. RÉSUMÉObjectifs: L'étude décrite ici avait pour buts de caractériser les drogues utilisées par les jeunes traités dans un service des urgences (SU), de relever les descripteurs démographiques et de décrire la morbidité et la mortalité aiguës, associées à cette utilisation. Méthode: Les auteurs ont procédé à un examen rétrospectif des dossiers médicaux de tous les jeunes âgés de 10 à 16 ans, qui ont été traités dans un service des urgences pédiatriques pour des troubles liés à la consommation de drogues à usage récréatif (n = 641), sur une période de 2 ans, se terminant le 31 décembre 2009. Résultats: L'âge médian était de 15 ans, et 56% des malades étaient de jeunes filles. Dans 6% des cas, il s'agissait de sansabris, et 21% des patients étaient sous la tutelle de l'État. Les drogues le plus souvent consommées étaient l'alcool éthylique (74%), la marijuana (20%), l'ecstasy (19%) et les médicaments (15%). Dans plus du tiers des cas, les personnes avaient fait usage d'au moins deux drogues. Quatre-vingt-dix pour cent des jeunes ont été transportés au SU par les services médicaux d'urgence et, dans 63% des cas, les appels avaient été faits par des inconnus. Parmi les 47% de jeunes souffrant d'une altération de l'état de conscience, la moitié avait une cote inférieure à 13 sur l'échelle de Glasgow. Par ailleurs, 44% des patients ont obtenu une cote de 1 ou 2 sur l'Échelle canadienne de triage et de gravité. Enfin, i...
