The developmental significance of late adolescent substance use for early adult functioning
This study examines the predictive significance of late adolescent substance use groups (i.e., abstainers, experimental users, at-risk users, and abusers) for early adult adaptation. Participants (N = 159) were drawn from a prospective longitudinal study of first-born children of low-income mothers. At 17.5 years of age, participants were assigned to substance use groups on the basis of their level of substance use involvement. At 26 years, early…
Adolescent Substance Use Groups
This study attempted to extend Shedler and Block's ( ) influential study, which found that adolescent drug experimenters had the healthiest personality functioning compared to abstainers and frequent users. Using a prospective design, we examined the relationship between antecedent and concurrent personality and age‐18 substance use in a community sample of 1,298 twins (96% Caucasian, 49% male). Personality measures at ages 11 and 18 assessed pos…
Correlates of Specialty Substance Use Disorder Treatment Among Female Patients in the Veterans Health Administration

Uniform mental health services in VA medical centers and clinics, Washington, DC: Author. [Google Scholar]. Overall, 33% of 15,653 females with SUD received specialty…

The Media and Education for Self‐Help (MESH) Project was an effort to increase interest in health‐related self‐help groups among middle‐ and lower‐income people in two California urban areas with minority–majori…
