TLDR
In this article, three competing hypotheses regarding the relation between pubertal timing and substance initiation in adolescence: the early timing, off-time, and stressful change hypotheses were tested.Abstract:
We tested 3 competing hypotheses regarding the relation between pubertal timing and substance initiation in adolescence: the early timing, off-time, and stressful change hypotheses. We used longitudinal data from the Developmental Pathways Project (N = 521). Youth reported whether they had ever tried alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana at baseline, and then again at 6-, 12-, 18-, 24-, 36-, and 72-month follow-up interviews. We estimated interval censored parametric survival models and tested interactions between pubertal timing and gender and race variables. We found robust support for the early timing hypothesis, but no support for the off-time and the stressful change hypotheses.read more

The Promise of Adolescence: Realizing Opportunity for All Youth
TL;DR: The authors examined the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlined how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish.

Deviant Peers as a Mediator of Pubertal Timing-Substance Use Associations: The Moderating Role of Parental Knowledge.
TL;DR: A significant indirect effect such that peer problem behavior mediated the association between girls' early pubertal timing and SU, and parental knowledge appears to serve as a contextual amplifier of Pubertal risk, independent of peer influences.

Parental knowledge is a contextual amplifier of associations of pubertal maturation and substance use
TL;DR: Interactions between pubertal timing and tempo and parental knowledge (children’s disclosure, parental control, and parental solicitation) for adolescent substance initiation support the hypothesis that lower knowledge is a contextual amplifier of early timing-substance use associations in girls and later timing/slower tempo-Substance Use associations in boys.

Correspondence of Pubertal Neuroendocrine and Tanner Stage Changes in Boys and Associations With Substance Use
TL;DR: In White boys only, early timing of the pubertal rise in testosterone was associated with increased SU involvement, suggesting a physiological rather than psychosocial mechanism of association.

TL;DR: The association between adulthood experience and adolescent cigarette smoking suggests the rite-of-passage effect, which may be strengthened by the minimum legal age law, is strengthened.
