Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Norm misperceptions are pervasive across a diversity of students and schools, whereas perceptions of peer norms about tobacco use are highly associated with personal attitude and use, and results suggest that population-wide interventions correcting these misperception may help reduce tobacco use broadly among youth.
Abstract: Objective:This study assesses tobacco use norm misperceptions by distinguishing between perceived and actual peer norms for both tobacco use attitudes and behavior, and examines the association bet...

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Time-varying effect modeling showed variation in reasons for use among adolescent past-year marijuana users from 1976 to 2016, which suggests a move toward riskier (coping-related) use but supports the continued salience of motivation-based approaches for prevention and intervention.
Abstract: Objective:Changes in the legality and prevalence of marijuana raise questions about whether adolescents’ reasons for using marijuana and associations between reasons for use and recent marijuana us...

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is suggested that delayed structural maturation of the nucleus accumbens may be a risk factor for alcohol use in adolescence; however, the mechanism by which the structure of the NAcc confers risk differs by sex.
Abstract: Objective:In adolescence, sensation seeking is associated with earlier onset of alcohol use, which is a risk factor for a variety of negative consequences later in life. Individual differences in s...

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Trends in drug poisoning deaths and estimated costs inform state-specific prevention and intervention efforts in this population of adolescents and young adults based on widely used cost estimates.
Abstract: Objective:Despite the rising toll of drug poisoning deaths in the United States, the extent of the problem among adolescents and young adults ages 15–24 years has received relatively little attenti...
