“…For example, violence is associated with substance use, particularly among those residing in socio-economically disadvantaged communities (Goldstick et al, 2015; Goldstick et al, 2016; Walton et al, 2009; White et al, 2009), likely due to shared risk and promotive factors for some substances (e.g., marijuana), and/or acute pharmacological effects of substances (e.g., alcohol) (Chermack and Giancola, 1997; White et al, 2009). Although parental influences are important during younger ages, peers are the most robust influence for substance use during the transition to adulthood (Abadi et al, 2011; Allen et al, 2012; Brechwald and Prinstein, 2011; Burk et al, 2012; Chein et al, 2011; Dziak et al, 2014; Simons-Morton and Farhat, 2010; Wolfe et al, 2012), increasing exposure to deviant social contexts and distancing youth from protective influences.…”
