An 18-Year Model of Family and Peer Effects on Adolescent Drug Use and Delinquency.
Garnier, Helen E.; Stein, Judith A.
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v31 n1 p45-56 Feb 2002
Studied the interrelationship of family and peer experiences in predicting adolescent problem behaviors in an 18-year longitudinal sample of 198 adolescents from conventional and nonconventional families. The most powerful predictors of teen drug use and delinquent behaviors were similar behaviors by peers, but peer behaviors were in turn predicted by earlier family-related variables and the quality of peer relationships in childhood.
