Download or read book The Education drug Use Connection written by Jerald G. Bachman and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 457 pages. 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.

This book was released on 2008-05-13 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists, educators, and parents of teens have long recognized the potency of peer influences on children and youth, but until recently, questions of how and why adolescents emulate their peers were largely overlooked. This book presents a comprehensive framework for understanding the processes by which peers shape each other's attitudes and behavior, and explores implications for intervention and prevention. Leading authorities share compelling findings on such topics as how drug use, risky sexual behavior, and other deviant behaviors "catch on" among certain peer groups or cliques; the social, cognitive, developmental, and contextual factors that strengthen or weaken the power of peer influence; and the nature of positive peer influences and how to support them.

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.
