Social‐Ecological Influences on Patterns of Substance Use Among Non‐Metropolitan High School Students

Abstract: Patterns of substance use are examined in a sample of over 1200 youth in a non-metropolitan region of New England. Self-reported history and frequency of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, inhalants, pain medications, and other hard drug use was assessed for 9th and 10th grade students. Latent class analyses identified four patterns of substance use: non-users (22%), alcohol experimenters (38%), occasional polysubstance users (29%), and frequent polysubstance users (10%). Contextual risk and protective factors in th… Show more

“…In previous analyses of the baseline of the longitudinal data analyzed in the current study, Conway and colleagues (2013) used a nationally representative sample of 10th-grade students and found four patterns ("classes") of users: majority nonusers, alcohol users, marijuana users, and polysubstance users (e.g., alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and other illicit drug use). Four other studies using national and local samples found four or five classes of substance users, with a consistent finding of a polysubstance-user class using alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and/or other drugs (Connell et al, 2010;Cranford et al, 2013;Dierker et al, 2007;Lamont et al, 2014;Whitesell et al, 2006). These studies were limited to cross-sectional analysis.…”

“…R ISK FACTORS AND CONSEQUENCES OF substance use have long been studied in relation to individual substances (e.g., tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and other illicit drugs). However, many adolescents use multiple substances (Connell et al, 2009(Connell et al, , 2010Conway et al, 2013;Dierker et al, 2007;Whitesell et al, 2006). Measuring contemporaneous multiple-substance use is important because it accurately represents the experiences of many substance users and may be an important focus for risk factor identification and programmatic attention.…”

“…The questionnaire consisted of 20 items on a four-point scale Likert type scale, ranging from 0 = rarely or none of the time (less than 1 day), to 3 = most or all of the time (5-7 days). For items 4,8,12, and 16, the scoring is exactly the same except but it is reversed. Total score was calculated by summing the score of each item.…”
