Psychopathology as an Antecedent to, and as a "Consequence" of, Substance Use, in Adolescence.
Friedman, Alfred S.; And Others
Journal of Drug Education, v17 n3 p233-44 1987
Conducted longitudinal study of 232 high school students and found that earlier psychopathology predicted, to a statistically significant degree, substance use 17 months later, and that earlier substance use predicted later psychopathology. Among nine types of psychic symptoms measured, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, hostility, paranoid ideation, and depression were most predictive of later substance use. (Author/NB)
