Adolescent Alcohol Use Self-Report Stability: A Decade of Panel Study Data Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse 20,1 (January 2011): 63-81. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1067828X.2011.534366 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Alcohol Use; Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Gender Differences; Life Course; Racial Differences; Self-Reporting This study analyzed six waves of panel data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). These analyses were conducted to test the stability of self-reported lifetime use and age of onset. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) indicated that the stability of age of onset reports decreased with longer time frames between follow-ups. The percentage of youths who had discrepancies in self-reported ever use of alcohol at two-year follow-up ranged from 15% to 35%. Higher discrepancy rates were found for males and younger respondents. Differences in report stability as a function of race/ethnicity were minimal. Questions related to lifetime use and age of onset have implications for the study of lifetime trajectories of use and the timing of prevention programs.

Testing the Length of Time Theory of Recall Decay: Examining Substance Use Report Stability With 10 Years of National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Data Substance Use and Misuse 46,9 (July 2011):1105-1112.

Aim: This article examines whether the proportion of recanters increases (or decreases) as a function of time o [sic] test length of time theory. Sample: 2,221 US respondents in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth child data. Bivariate and logistic regression analyses were used. Results: Among recanters, 50% of cigarette and alcohol users recanted use by 4 years, and 50% of marijuana users recanted by 3 years. Predictors of recanting was being Black or Hispanic and younger age. The theory was not supported. Further research is needed to identify potential reasons why adolescents recant their use is such a short time span. The study's limitations are noted.

Typologies of Recanting of Lifetime Cigarette, Alcohol And Marijuana Use During a Six-Year Longitudinal Panel Study Drug and Alcohol Dependence 118,2-3 (1 November 2011): 134-140. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0376871611001359 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Drug Use; Modeling, Growth Curve/Latent Trajectory Analysis; Self-Reporting AIM: To identify if there are different typologies for adolescent self-reporters and recanters for alcohol, cigarette and marijuana use. METHODS: This study is a secondary data analysis and utilized four waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth child panel data. The study included adolescents aged ten and older who self-reported ever use of cigarettes (n=872), marijuana (n=854) or alcohol (n=837). Consistent responders were those who reported lifetime use of a specific substance and continued to report such use at each latter wave of data collection. Latent class analyses were utilized to investigate if there are different types of self-reporters for each substance class. RESULTS: Three unique groups for each substance was identified. The first group of users, who had a late age of onset, tended to be consistent self-reporters across waves. Those who were early onset users of cigarettes and marijuana tended to recant their use while early onset alcohol users were consistent reporters. Those with moderate ages of onset had no consistent recanting patterns. The highest degree of recanting was found among the early onset marijuana users. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that youth who begin their use at an earlier age may not be as reliable reporters as youth who initiate use at later ages. Our results suggest that the veracity of prevalence estimates for licit and illicit substances could be different depending on the age of the respondent. Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Self-Reported Age of Onset and Telescoping for Cigarettes, Alcohol, and Marijuana: Across Eight Years of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse 21,4 (September 2012): 333-348. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1067828X.2012.710026 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Age and Ageing; Alcohol Use; Drug Use; Smoking (see Cigarette Use) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Smoking, drinking, and illicit drug use are leading causes of morbidity and mortality, both during adolescence as well as later in life. The determination of how well national and local policy and intervention efforts address teen substance use depends largely on the collection of valid and accurate data. Assessments of substance use rely heavily on retrospective self-report measures, but the reliability and validity, however, may be limited by various sources of measurement error. This study utilizes four waves of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth spanning eight years. Results from multiple linear regression analyses showed that the single most consistent variable associated with telescoping was the number of years since the substance was first reported. Time since first report was the single consistent variable and was strongly associated with telescoping in each wave-to-wave comparison for all three substances under study. Implications for policy and research are discussed. |
