“…Adolescence is a developmental period that involves a variety of biological, physical, and social-contextual changes that put adolescents at an increased risk for experimenting with cigarettes, alcohol, and other drugs (Schulenberg et al 2014). In response to this issue, numerous school-based substance use prevention programs have been created (O'Connell et al 2009).…”

“…Several biological, physical, and social-contextual factors interact to make adolescence a particularly vulnerable time period for substance use initiation, such as the onset of puberty, increases in unsupervised time with peers, and a reorganization of family relationships (Schulenberg et al 2014). For example, prefrontal neural circuitry, which is responsible for exerting effortful control over behavior in emotional contexts, is not yet fully developed in adolescence, which can result in an increased sensitivity to reward and decreased ability to inhibit responses, and may result in increased risk-seeking behaviors (Whitesell et al 2013).…”

A combination of these neurobiological changes with social-contextual risk factors such as low parental monitoring and/or deviant peer environments, as well as psychological risk factors such as high anxiety or mood impairment may result in increased substance use during adolescence (Schulenberg et al 2014). …”

Adolescence is a key developmental period for preventing substance use initiation, however prevention programs solely providing educational information about the dangers of substance use rarely change adolescent substance use behaviors. Recent research suggests that mind–body practices such as yoga may have beneficial effects on several substance use risk factors, and that these practices may serve as promising interventions for preventing adolescent substance use. The primary aim of the present study was to test the efficacy of yoga for reducing substance use risk factors during early adolescence. Seventh-grade students in a public school were randomly assigned by classroom to receive either a 32-session yoga intervention (n = 117) in place of their regular physical education classes or to continue with physical-education-as-usual (n = 94). Participants (63.2 % female; 53.6 % White) completed pre- and post-intervention questionnaires assessing emotional self-regulation, perceived stress, mood impairment, impulsivity, substance use willingness, and actual substance use. Participants also completed questionnaires at 6-months and 1-year post-intervention. Results revealed that participants in the control condition were significantly more willing to try smoking cigarettes immediately post-intervention than participants in the yoga condition. Immediate pre- to post-intervention differences did not emerge for the remaining outcomes. However, long-term follow-up analyses revealed a pattern of delayed effects in which females in the yoga condition, and males in the control condition, demonstrated improvements in emotional self-control. The findings suggest that school-based yoga may have beneficial effects with regard to preventing males' and females' willingness to smoke cigarettes, as well as improving emotional self-control in females. However additional research is required, particularly with regard to the potential long-term effects of mind–body interventions in school settings. The present study contributes to the literature on adolescence by examining school-based yoga as a novel prevention program for substance use risk factors.

“…One way of classifying organized sports is to distinguish between individual sports (e.g., swimming, speed skating, gymnastics) and team sports (e.g., football, basketball, ice hockey). Among multiple potential mechanisms linking organized sports to alcohol use, the question of peers is central given their importance in the developmental trajectories of alcohol use (Lynne-Landsman, Bradshaw, & Ialongo, 2010;Schulenberg, Patrick, Maslowsky, & Maggs, 2014). While peers are omnipresent in both individual and team sports, the peer dynamics could be different in these two types of sports.…”

“…In this study, we investigated whether these associations remain after controlling for other types of organized activities and important covariates associated with both types of sports (e.g., family income and structure, parental 6 education; Pedersen, 2005) and alcohol use. As for alcohol use, in addition to socio-demographic variables, to be consistent with ecological models of substance use, we also included variables at the family (monitoring), social (deviant peers and peer status), and individual (sex, problems behaviors, prior alcohol use) levels (Lynne-Landsman et al, 2010;Schulenberg et al, 2014).…”

This study examined the longitudinal associations between participation in individual and team sports and indicators of alcohol use during the high school years and beyond. A total of 310 youths were surveyed over six waves of data collection (ages 12, 14 to 17, and 19). Participation in individual and team sports was measured through phone interviews, whereas frequency of alcohol use, frequency of intoxication, and problematic alcohol use were self-reported. Control variables included participation in other types of organized activities, sex, family income and structure, parental education and knowledge, problem behaviors, deviant peers, and peer status. The results of autoregressive latent trajectory models revealed reciprocal associations between time spent in individual sports and frequency of alcohol use and intoxication. The results also revealed that time spent in team sports predicted an increase in frequency of alcohol use in middle adolescence. Lastly, the only significant finding at age 19 suggested that the initial number of hours spent in individual sports predicted lower scores on alcohol intoxication. These findings suggest that team sports act as a risk factor for less severe forms of alcohol use in middle adolescence, whereas individual sports act as a protective factor against more severe forms of alcohol use during adolescence and beyond.

Interpersonal theories enjoy a long and multidisciplinary history in the field of developmental psychopathology. A core theme is that disruption in developmentally salient interpersonal processes interferes with youths' inherent need for relatedness, creating risk for multiple types of disorders. We review major theories of interpersonal risk—focusing on the family, the peer group, and broader stressful interpersonal contexts—and describe how each theory accounts for the emergence of particular disorders. We then discuss the intersection between interpersonal theories and other theories of psychopathology, postulating how multiple interacting and transacting levels and systems of development (e.g., biological, cognitive, emotional, contextual) jointly contribute to risk for psychopathology. Synthesizing across these broad approaches, we discuss specific integrative interpersonal theories of depression, anxiety, and externalizing disorders. We close with a discussion of ways to enrich interpersonal theories and bridge the divide between theory and practice to protect youth against psychopathology and maximize youth potential across development.
