Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescent alcohol use is a major public health problem in the United States. Few studies have examined the relationship between specific components of mental health (i.e. self-concept) and alcohol use, particularly across the varying developmental years. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the impact of self-concept on recent alcohol use (past 30 days) and recent binge drinking (five or more alcoholic beverages on one occasion) across three developmental ages. This study employed secondary data analysis using the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). All participants were in grades 7-12 (N = 6,504) and completed the computer assisted in-home interview. A total of 17.3% of youth reported recent alcohol use and 11.3% reported recent binge drinking. Overall, recent alcohol use and recent binge drinking increased with increased grade levels. Youth who were male and white were also more likely than their counterparts for recent alcohol use and recent binge drinking. Youth with low self-concept were at increased odds for recent alcohol use. This held true regardless of sex, race and grade. Youth with low self-concept were at increased odds for recent binge drinking among male and female students, white students, and students in grades 7-8 and grades 11-12. Students in grades 7-8 with low self-concept had the highest odds ratios for recent alcohol use and recent binge drinking in comparison to students in grades 9-10 or 11-12 with low self-concept. Results of this study underscore the importance for health educators and preventionists to consider the impact of self-concept on youth substance use at differing grade levels when developing substance abuse prevention efforts. Youth suicide is in the top leading causes of death among adolescents and remains an important public health issue for health professionals today. Few have examined a more intrapersonal form of mental health, an individual's overall self-concept. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the impact of self-concept on suicidal ideation and suicide attempts across three grade levels. A secondary data analysis was conducted using the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). All participants were in grades 7-12 (N = 6,504) and completed a computer assisted in-home interview. A total of 12.8% of youth reported suicidal ideation and 3.5% reported attempting suicide in the past 12 months. Overall, suicidal ideation increased with age whereas suicide attempts were consistent among the three groups. Female youth were significantly more likely than male youth to experience both suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Youth with a low self-concept were at increased odds for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts regardless of sex, race, or grade. Interestingly, the impact of self-concept on suicidal ideation noticeably increased with increased grade level. Odds ratios for suicidal ideation show those with low self-concept were 2.8 (7th/8th grade), 3.5 (9th/10th grade), and 4.4 (11th/12th grade). The impact of self-concept on suicide attempts did not increase but rather remained consistently high among the three age groups. Future research is needed to explain reasons for the pronounced impact of self-concept on suicidal ideation with progressing age. Results from this study support the need for incorporating self-concept into suicide prevention efforts for youth.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between self-esteem, risk taking behavior and parental-involvement on early adolescent drug use. The hypothesis underlying the study is that adolescents with low self-esteem were more likely to start smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. Secondly, those who are higher risk takers are more likely to use alcohol and cigarettes. Finally, the level of parental involvement will determine the amount of risk-taking and self-esteem a child has. The data came from a secondary data analysis from Monitoring the Future: A Continuing Study-of American Youth, conducted by Lloyd D. Johnston, Jerald G. Bachman, Patrick O'Malley, and John Schulenberg, in 1998. In this continuing study, eighth and tenth graders from around the country were administered a survey that asked about a wide range of behaviors. In this analysis, I utilized data from the eighth grade survey. The main hypotheses were supported. Low self-esteem causes an increase in alcohol and cigarette use among adolescents. High risk-taking is associated with more alcohol and cigarette use. Parental-Involvement was associated with self-esteem, which indicates that low parental involvement leads to lower self-esteem. This paper serves to help educators look at drug, alcohol, and cigarette use in adolescents not as a gender or race specific behavior but an individual behavior that stems partly from the way the individual feels about himself or herself, and from their home environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1993, Adolescent Drinking and Family Life portrays teenage drinking, not as a symptom of pathology, but as a perfectly normal developmental phase within the context of the home environment. Drinking is predominantly social behaviour and the family is seen as a major agent of socialization. The authors have therefore explored family dynamics and the influence which the home environment has upon adolescent drinking to come up with a new theoretical model. A major feature of this approach is the interaction of ideas from family life psychology and human geography. The authors present a typology of domestic regimes illustrated by case studies of boundary enforcement and transgression. The general theme of boundary transgression, applied here to both the psychosocial environment and built form, represents an interesting new theoretical perspective. The integration of these two fields is an innovation which should stimulate further interdisciplinary work in adolescence and addiction research. Adolescent Drinking and Family Life will be interesting to researchers and practitioners in adolescence, family dynamics, and alcohol as well as any social scientist with an interest in the link between behaviour and the home environment. This new approach had important implications for health education and for interventions concerned with adolescent alcohol use at the time. Today it can be read in its historical context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The production of this book represents a culmination for me of some 25 years of interest in the field of personality and substance use and abuse. In choosing the field of substanceuse and abuse for the focus of our research, all of the investi- tors collaborating in this research have been sustained by the awareness that the work we are doing has an important purpose. Substance abuse continues to have enormous impacts on individuals and families,and prevention and treatment - proaches developed to date have not always been as successful as we would hope to see. New advances in our fundamental understanding of the causal mec- nisms involved in the development ofaddiction may be necessary to advance our success in developing new forms of prevention and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse. The work in this book builds on the work of numerous previous investi- tors who have been drawn to investigate this topic. As you will notice in the extensive reference list, there have been hundreds of articles published on this topic. Although each of these references has added a small piece to our und- standing of the relationship between personality and alcohol abuse, the majority of these studies have been done on clinical samples and often involved no control groups or poorly matched control groups. Several important previous longitu- nal investigations have been conducted,but these investigations have usually not included general population samples or comprehensivepersonality test batteries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does success in school protect teenagers from drug use? Does drug use impair scholastic success? This book tackles a key issue in adolescent development and health - the education-drug use connection. The authors examine the links and likely causal connections between educational experiences, delinquent behavior, and adolescent use of tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine. The book uses data from the University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future project. It focuses on a large and nationally representative sample of 8th grade students in the United States who were initially surveyed in 1991-1993 and then followed over the vitally important developmental period between ages 14 and 22. The volume uses a variety of statistical analysis techniques, and the findings can be understood by individuals with limited, as well as with extensive, backgrounds in research design. The findings convincingly demonstrate that if young people can be successful in school, it can improve a broad range of outcomes in their lives, not the least of which is their ability to resist pressures to use drugs. The book provides: a summary of the findings and conclusions; a review of relevant literature; a detailed discussion of the survey and analysis methods; the academic attainment of those in the longitudinal panel; the delinquent behaviors of panel members as they relate to measures of educational success; and the patterns of initiation, continuation, and cessation for each substance: cigarettes, marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol. This book is intended for anyone who deals with education and/or substance use, including educational, developmental, and social psychologists; sociologists; epidemiologists; educators; and policy makers. The analysis of panel survey data, using a variety of techniques, will also appeal to survey methodologists and students.

Download or read book A Longitudinal Examination of the Moderating Impact of Family and Peer Factors on the Relationship Between Anxiety and Alcohol Use During Adolescence written by Juliet Rogers Bradley and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research indicates that anxiety and alcohol use are present during adolescence, and are often stable over time. Studies also have found a relationship between anxiety and alcohol use in adolescents, and family and peer factors have been found to buffer adolescents from these two constructs. However, studies have not examined the ways in which family and peer factors moderate the relationship between anxiety and alcohol use in adolescents, and a paucity of studies have explored the impact of gender and race. Utilizing three theories, The Ecological Risk/Protective Theory, The Interactional Theory of Delinquency, and the Stress-Buffering Hypothesis, this study examined the stability of anxiety and alcohol use over time, the bidirectional relationship between anxiety and alcohol use, and whether family (parental communication, family satisfaction, parental limit setting) and/or peer factors (social support from a close friend, social competence) moderate the relationship between anxiety and alcohol use. The impact of gender and race was also investigated. Data for this dissertation were drawn from a five year longitudinal study, The Adolescent Adjustment Project. This study used data collected in Waves 2 and 3 from a sample of 559 Caucasian, African American, and Hispanic adolescents. Results from a correlation matrix and hierarchical regression analyses indicated that anxiety remained stable for the overall sample, both genders, and all three races, alcohol use remained stable for the overall sample, boys, and Caucasians, there was a relationship between anxiety and alcohol use in boys, and parental limit setting predicted future alcohol use in boys. There were no family and peer factors that moderated the relationship between anxiety and alcohol use. Practitioners working with adolescents need to consider the impact of gender and race on anxiety and alcohol use, and future research should continue to explore the moderating impact of family and peer factors on the relationship between these constructs.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Adolescence written by Roger J.R. Levesque and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-05 with total page 3161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Adolescence breaks new ground as an important central resource for the study of adolescence. Comprehensive in breath and textbook in depth, the Encyclopedia of Adolescence – with entries presented in easy-to-access A to Z format – serves as a reference repository of knowledge in the field as well as a frequently updated conduit of new knowledge long before such information trickles down from research to standard textbooks. By making full use of Springer’s print and online flexibility, the Encyclopedia is at the forefront of efforts to advance the field by pushing and creating new boundaries and areas of study that further our understanding of adolescents and their place in society. Substantively, the Encyclopedia draws from four major areas of research relating to adolescence. The first broad area includes research relating to "Self, Identity and Development in Adolescence". This area covers research relating to identity, from early adolescence through emerging adulthood; basic aspects of development (e.g., biological, cognitive, social); and foundational developmental theories. In addition, this area focuses on various types of identity: gender, sexual, civic, moral, political, racial, spiritual, religious, and so forth. The second broad area centers on "Adolescents’ Social and Personal Relationships". This area of research examines the nature and influence of a variety of important relationships, including family, peer, friends, sexual and romantic as well as significant nonparental adults. The third area examines "Adolescents in Social Institutions". This area of research centers on the influence and nature of important institutions that serve as the socializing contexts for adolescents. These major institutions include schools, religious groups, justice systems, medical fields, cultural contexts, media, legal systems, economic structures, and youth organizations. "Adolescent Mental Health" constitutes the last major area of research. This broad area of research focuses on the wide variety of human thoughts, actions, and behaviors relating to mental health, from psychopathology to thriving. Major topic examples include deviance, violence, crime, pathology (DSM), normalcy, risk, victimization, disabilities, flow, and positive youth development.
