A Public Health Model of Alcohol Use and Related Problems: Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse 10,3 (2001): 21-41.

Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Modeling; Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) (see Self-Esteem); Youth Problems Using data from the 1994 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this paper presents a public health model of alcohol intensity and attendant consequences among adolescents. We use path analyses to examine the influence of agent (beverage of choice), host (individual characteristics), and environment (contexts of drinking) on an index of alcohol intensity and three factor-based indexes of alcohol-related consequences. Our analyses suggest that males, adolescents who begin drinking at a younger age, and older adolescents drink with more intensity. Similarly, teenagers that drink in private contexts, perceive the majority of their friends to be drinkers, and prefer beer over other beverages tend to drink more intensely. Drinking in private contexts is also a contributing facto to Loss of Control and School/Work problems regardless of other predictors. Implications for prevention practice and future research are offered. |
