“…Thus, the consequences of AOD use are likely to resonate across the period of emerging adulthood, but we know little about how, if at all, AOD use etiology varies across this important developmental transition. Researchers have shown both that (1) the psychological effects of violence exposure depend on the timing of the exposure (Monahan, King, Shulman, Cauffman, & Chassin, 2015); and that (2) both AOD use (SAMHSA, 2013) and violence exposure (Loeber & Farrington, 2012;Resnick et al, 2004;Stoddard et al, 2015;Sullivan et al, 2006) change with age. Yet, age specificity in the link between violence exposure and AOD use and how this age specificity depends on the type of violence exposure has not been studied.…”
