“…Among behavioral problems we considered externalizing behavior, such as aggressiveness and symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), i.e. hyperactivity -impulsivity and inattention (Brook et al, 1996;Monshouwer et al, 2006;White et al, 2001). As internalizing behavior we tested emotional problems, such as depressive symptoms and social anxiety (Buckner et al, 2008;Henry et al, 1993;Jane-Llopis and Matytsina, 2006;Wittchen et al, 2007).…”

“…Characteristics related broadly to externalizing behaviors, such as impulsivity (Conway et al, 2003), early behavior problems (Kreek et al, 2005), as well as behavioral and emotional symptoms (Brook et al, 1996;Buckner et al, 2008;Jane-Llopis and Matytsina, 2006;Monshouwer et al, 2006;White et al, 2001;Wittchen et al, 2007) have been identified as risk factors for drug use. Further, influences of peers (Agrawal et al, 2007;Guxens et al, 2007aGuxens et al, , 2007b and parents (Chen et al, 2005;Hayatbakhsh et al, 2007), as well as unfavorable socio-economic circumstances (Compton et al, 2005) have been documented as determinants for cannabis use.…”

“…Although the majority of youth who initiate alcohol do not become problem drinkers, early initiation of alcohol use is one of the strongest predictors of subsequent alcohol abuse and alcohol-related problems, including drinking and driving, school or work absenteeism, and injuries (Brook et al, 1996;DeWitt et al, 2000;Gruber et al, 1996;Peterson et al, 1995). Use during adolescence also directly increases risk for other adverse outcomes, including accidents, homicides and sexually transmitted diseases (Gillmore et al, 1991;Peterson et al, 1995), and may interfere with the development of social, coping, and related skills needed for effective social functioning in late adolescence and early adulthood (Brook et al, 1996;Wechsler et al, 2002).…”

This study examined alcohol use from pre-adolescence to mid-adolescence and determined the influence of hypothesized covariates on changes in alcohol use rates during this developmental period. The sample comprised 405 randomly recruited youth from three age cohorts (9, 11, and 13 years), assessed annually for 4 years. Youth were 48.4% female, 50.4% African-American, and 49.6% White. A cohort-sequential latent growth model was employed which modeled alcohol use (use vs. non-use) from ages 9-16 years, accounting for demographic variables of gender, race, parent marital status, and family economic status. Covariates of alcohol use included parent alcohol use, family alcohol problems, family cohesion, parent supervision, peer deviance, peer alcohol use, and peer encouragement of alcohol use. Results showed that proportions of alcohol users increased steadily from ages 9-16 years. Significant covariates were found on the intercept and slope. Being female and higher levels of parent alcohol use were associated with higher initial rates of alcohol use whereas greater friends' encouragement of alcohol use was related to lower initial rates of alcohol use (intercept). Alternatively, more peer deviance and friends' encouragement of alcohol use was related to an increase in alcohol use rates from ages 9-16 years (slope), as was being White and from a single-parent family.

“…Previous research has documented that internalizing symptoms in childhood predict depression during adolescence (Rose, Rose, and Feldman, 1989). Externalizing behaviors (i.e., aggression, delinquency) predict later problem behaviors including drug use and antisocial behavior (Brook, Whiteman, Finch, and Cohen, 1996), as well as psychiatric disorders (Brook, Richter, and Rubenstone, 2000). Therefore, it is important to identify the predictors of internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors among children.…”

Exposure to Parental Cigarette Smoking and Child Problem Behaviors: A Longitudinal Study

This study examined exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). A major public health problem, ETS has been found to be associated with an increased risk of adverse health effects in children. This study utilizes data from a community-based, longitudinal investigation examining the relation between children's exposure to ETS and later internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors. Interviews were administered to a representative community sample of participants from two New York State counties in 1983, with subsequent interviews in 1985-1986, 1992, 1997, and 2002-2003 (when the participants' mean age was 32). Data was collected on various personality and behavioral characteristics of the participants, and on internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors demonstrated by their children. Results indicated that children's exposure to ETS was associated with an increased risk for both internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors. This relationship was maintained despite control on a number of parental psychosocial risk factors (e.g., demographic variables, personality and behavioral attributes) that have been found to be associated with both parental cigarette smoking and behavior problems among children. These data, which indicate an association between exposure to ETS and internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors among children, support public health policies to further restrict children's exposure to ETS. KeywordsParental cigarette smoking; Child-rearing practices; Environmental tobacco smoke; ETS; Effects of parental cigarette smoking on children; Effects of ETS on children; Internalizing behaviors; Externalizing behaviorsInternalizing symptoms refer to overlapping symptoms of depression and anxiety and somatic complaints (Achenbach, 1991). Previous research has documented that internalizing symptoms in childhood predict depression during adolescence (Rose, Rose, and Feldman, 1989). Externalizing behaviors (i.e., aggression, delinquency) predict later problem behaviors including drug use and antisocial behavior (Brook, Whiteman, Finch, and Cohen, 1996), as well as psychiatric disorders (Brook, Richter, and Rubenstone, 2000). Therefore, it is important to identify the predictors of internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors among children. The present longitudinal study focuses on one important predictor of internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors, namely, children's exposure to ETS (Environmental Tobacco Smoke). The present research is unique in that both short-term and NIH Public Access (Cook, Strachan, and Carey, 1999), and sudden infant death syndrome (USDHHS, 2004). Most of the literature on child exposure to ETS has concentrated on the effects of maternal smoking (Bauman, Flewelling, and La Prelle, 1991). The majority of studies have linked maternal smoking during pregnancy with behavioral disturbances in children (Brook, Brook, and Whiteman, 2000;Weitzman, Gortmaker, and Sobol, 1992). A growing body of literature has also looked at the effects of post...
