Sustainability of State-Level Substance Abuse Prevention Infrastructure After the Completion of the SPF SIG
Effects of the Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentives Grant (SPF SIG) on State Prevention Infrastructure in 26 States
Perpetration of intimate partner violence by young adult males
Alcohol Outlet Density and Young Women’s Perpetration of Violence Toward Male Intimate Partners
Reducing Youth Access to Alcohol
Underage drinking continues to be an important public health problem and a challenge to the substance abuse prevention field. Community‐based interventions designed to more rigorously control underage access to alcohol through retailer education and greater enforcement of underage drinking laws have been advocated as potentially effective strategies to help address this problem, but studies designed to evaluate such interventions are sparse. To a…
Data-Driven Decision Making in the Prevention of Substance-Related Harm
The Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant Program (SPF SIG) is a national public-health initiative in the United States to prevent and reduce substance-related harm. The model promotes data-driven decision making (DDDM), with an emphasis on using epidemiological data to help select prevention priorities and to allocate prevention resources. This article examines how well the first two cohorts of SPF SIG states (N = 26) implemented …
Developing a Data Resource to Support State Substance Abuse Prevention Planning
A number of data collection systems designed to monitor selected substance abuse behaviors and consequences are in place in the United States. Some of these systems provide only national-level data, while others provide data disaggregated by state and in some cases by sub-state units such as counties or communities. Less progress has been made in identifying a key set of epidemiologic indicators across the three major substance categories (i.e., …
Implementing research‐based substance abuse prevention in communities
Despite the popularity and perceived potential effectiveness of community‐based coalitions in helping to prevent and reduce adolescent substance use, empirical evidence supporting this approach is sparse. Many reasons have been suggested for why coalition‐based prevention initiatives, and community‐level interventions in general, have not demonstrated stronger and more consistent results. Among these explanations are lack of uniformity and contro…
School and Neighborhood Characteristics Associated with School Rates of Alcohol, Cigarette, and Marijuana Use
Previous research has noted that schools vary in substance use prevalence rates, but explanations for school differences have received little empirical attention. We assess variability across elementary schools (N = 36) in rates of early adolescent alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use. Characteristics of neighborhoods and schools potentially related to school prevalence rates are examined, as well as whether these characteristics have independen…

First-year impact of the 1989 California cigarette tax increase on cigarette consumption
We employed a time series design to evaluate the impact of the 1989 California cigarette tax increase on cigarette consumption in California. Adult per capita consumption data from 1980 to 1990 were analyzed for California and the United States. Trend data indicated a sharp drop in California cigarette consumption coincident with the tax increase. Time-series regression analyses support this observation, and suggest that a 5% to 7% decline in con…
Predicting Continued Use of Marijuana Among Adolescents
Most research on the determinants of adolescent drug use has focused on predictors of either initiation or current use. Little attention has been given to the determinants of continued use of drugs after initiation, even though some researchers have found that the consequences of continued use are more serious than those associated with experimental or occasional use. In this study, a longitudinal sample of 456 secondary and high school students …
Family Structure as a Predictor of Initial Substance Use and Sexual Intercourse in Early Adolescence
Robert L. Flewelling, Karl E. Bauman, Family Structure as a Predictor of Initial Substance Use and Sexual Intercourse in Early Adolescence, Journal of Marriage and Family, Vol. 52, No. 1 (Feb., 1990), pp. 171-181
The Social Production of Criminal Homicide
The growing research on comparative studies of homicide in the United States reveals significant methodological advances but inconsistent findings. A major goal is to identify sources of inconsistency and accumulate more valid and reliable results. This analysis empirically examines a major problem with most previous comparative studies-the failure to disaggregate the overall homicide rate into more refined and conceptually meaningful categories …
Family, Acquaintance, and Stranger Homicide
This paper describes the extent of missing data within the Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR), collected as part of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program of the FBI. The yearly SHR provides coded information on the victim, the offender, and the circumstances of all reported homicides in the United States. Thus, the data allow the computation of specific kinds of homicide rates, such as those involving family members, acquaintances, and strangers. …
