We performed a secondary analysis of Adolescent Health Risk Behavior Survey data (N=937), examining associations between lifetime alcohol and marijuana use with intrapersonal (i.e., risk perceptions) and interpersonal (e.g., peer approval and behavior) factors. Multinomial and binary logistic regression analyses contend students reporting lifetime…

In this paper, we examined the extent to which one's own religiosity, as well as that of her or his peers, has on alcohol and substance use among undergraduate students at a medium-sized public university in the south-eastern United States. Findings indicate that though peer religiosity significantly affects substance use, one's own religiosity is…

Non-Alcohol…

Gimbert, Belinda G.; Kapa, Ryan – Leadership and Research in Education, 2021
Despite the common perception of a decline over recent decades of adolescents' use of illicit drugs and alcohol, the recent exponential rise in teenage vaping has spotlighted how local and school communities must address this endemic public problem. Since use of illicit substance adversely affects adolescent development, it is imperative that…

College students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at higher than average risk for alcohol and substance use; however, it is unclear whether having ADHD, either alone or in combination with other factors, increases this risk. Further, no prior studies have systematically examined factors that correlate with alcohol and…

Robers, Simone; Zhang, Anlan; Morgan, Rachel E. – National Center for Education Statistics, 2015
Our nation's schools should be safe havens for teaching and learning, free of crime and violence.
