Inconsistencies in Lifetime Cocaine and Marijuana Use Reports: Impact on Prevalence and Incidence Addiction 90,1 (January 1995): 111-118. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1360-0443.1995.90111114.x/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Addiction; Alcohol Use; Drug Use; Ethnic Differences; Racial Differences; Self-Reporting; Substance Use; Underreporting Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We evaluated inconsistencies in responses to questions about lifetime cocaine and marijuana use asked of nearly 10,000 respondents from the United States in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth in 1984 and 1988. Our analyses showed that 14% of all responses on cocaine use and 17% of all responses on marijuana use were inconsistent in some way. The types of inconsistencies varied according to the substance; cocaine reports yielded more inconsistencies with regard to timing of first use, while for Marconi most of the inconsistencies were with respect to use disclosure. For both substances, lower level users were more likely to be inconsistent in their reports of drug use. Alternative methods for handling inconsistencies affected estimates of incidence and prevalence. Inconsistencies also varied according to respondent race/ethnicity. Implications of these findings for program evaluation are discussed. |

Marijuana Use and Depression Among Adults: Testing for Causal Associations Addiction 101,10 (October 2006): 1463-1472. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1360-0443.2006.01545.x/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Depression (see also CESD); Drug Use; Self-Reporting; Substance Use; Variables, Independent - Covariate Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Aim: To determine whether marijuana use predicts later development of depression after accounting for differences between users and non-users of marijuana. Design: An ongoing longitudinal survey of 12 686 men and women beginning in 1979. Setting: The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth of 1979, a nationally representative sample from the United States. Participants: A total of 8759 adults (age range 29–37 years) interviewed in 1994 had complete data on past-year marijuana use and current depression. Measurements: Self-reported past-year marijuana use was tested as an independent predictor of later adult depression using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies--Depression questionnaire. Individual's propensity to use marijuana was calculated using over 50 baseline covariates. Findings: Before adjusting for group differences, the odds of current depression among past-year marijuana users is 1.4 times higher (95% CI: 1.1, 1.9) than the odds of depression among the non-using comparison group. After adjustment, the odds of current depression among past-year marijuana users is only 1.1 times higher than the comparison group (95% CI: 0.8, 1.7). Similarly, adjustment eliminates significant associations between marijuana use and depression in four additional analyses: heavy marijuana use as the risk factor, stratifying by either gender or age, and using a 4-year lag-time between marijuana use and depression. Conclusions: After adjusting for differences in baseline risk factors of marijuana use and depression, past-year marijuana use does not significantly predict later development of depression. These findings are discussed in terms of their relevance for understanding possible causal effects of marijuana use on depression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

This data note draws upon the National Longitudinal Survey (NLS) of Labor Market Experience in Youth beginning at ages 17-24 to describe the stability and prevalence of alcohol use over a 6-year up to ages 23-30. Approximately 70% of men and 58% of women maintained their drinking status throughout the study. The onset of current and heavier drinking decreased with increasing age while the offset of current and heavier drinking increased with increasing age. The absence of current drinking was unrelated to age for both men and women as was the presence of heavier drinking among men. |

This research note draws upon the US National Longitudinal Survey (NLS) of Labor Market Experience among youths aged 17-24 to report the effects of variation in the ordering of alcohol questions upon the prevalence of heavier drinking. A secondary analysis of the NLS indicated a substantial decrease in the prevalence of heavier drinking between 1984 and 1985 which is attributed to the order of presentation of two differently styled questions regarding heavier drinking.

The Reliability of Self-Reported Age of Onset of Tobacco, Alcohol and Illicit Drug Use Addiction 96,8 (August 2001): 1187-1198. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1360-0443.2001.968118711.x/abstract Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Addiction; Alcohol Use; Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Drug Use; Educational Status; Epidemiology; Gender Differences; Health Factors; Longitudinal Data Sets; Racial Differences; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. AIMS: To examine the reliability of self-reported age of first substance use experiences among national samples of adult and child respondents. DESIGN: Survey responses from seven waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) were examined. PARTICIPANTS: Adult and child NLSY respondents reporting age of first tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and/or crack use during two or more survey interviews. MEASUREMENTS: Four indicators of reliability: intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), mean and absolute mean differences in reported age and reports consistent within 1 year. FINDINGS: The adjusted mean ICC for all comparisons was 0.69. The adjusted mean difference in self-reported age of first substance use was -0.52 years and the adjusted absolute mean difference was 2.00 years. The adjusted percentage of all comparisons reporting ages consistent within 1 year was 55.28%. More consistent reports were provided by adults, and in response to questions posed over 2 years as opposed to longer time intervals. Respondent answers to questions concerned with first use of marijuana were generally found to be most reliable; questions concerned with first use of crack were least reliable and reports of tobacco, alcohol and cocaine were intermediate. Logistic regression analyses also identified age, race, gender, education and poverty status as predictors of consistent reporting. CONCLUSIONS: Self-reports of age of first substance use experiences, as currently collected via survey questionnaires, are of sufficient reliability for most current epidemiological applications. For inquiries where age of substance use onset is itself a research focus, however, researchers should invest additional effort in improving the reliability of measurement. |

Aims to investigate the reliability and validity of retrospectively reported information on smoking. Design: Nationally representative retrospective data from longitudinal surveys and contemporaneous data from repeated cross-sectional surveys were used. Participants: Adult respondents to three of the four samples of the National Longitudinal Surveys Original Cohort 1966-68; the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979; and various waves of the US National Health Interview Survey. Measurements: Reliability was investigated by calculating kappa statistics for repeated measures of ever-smoking and annual-smoking status. Validity was investigated by comparing smoking prevalence rates generated by retrospective data with contemporaneously measured rates. Findings: Kappa statistics indicated the repeated measures of ever-smoking status show substantial agreement; repeated measures of annual-smoking status show moderate agreement. Retrospective reports on smoking behavior produced prevalence rates that match reasonably well with those from contemporaneous reports of smoking behavior. Conclusions: Retrospective data on smoking can be an important resource for tobacco addiction research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Smoking Trajectories from Adolescence to Early Adulthood as a Longitudinal Predictor of Mental Health in Adulthood: Evidence from 21 Years of Nationally Representative Cohort Addiction published online (24 November 2021): DOI: 10.1111/add.15758. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/add.15758 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Drug Use; Health, Mental/Psychological; Smoking (see Cigarette Use) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Aims: To measure the prospective relationship between smoking trajectories from adolescence to young adulthood and mental health in later adulthood and test whether this relationship was mediated by concurrent co-use of alcohol and marijuana. Design: Longitudinal study using data drawn from Round 1 to Round 18 of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), a nationally representative cohort study spanning 21 years. Measurements: Mental health in adulthood was measured using the five-item Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5; range 0-100) at Round 18. Seven trajectories of smoking from adolescence to young adulthood were identified by group-based multi-trajectory modeling, using data over 11 years from Round 1 to Round 11. Findings: Late-onset moderate smokers..., late-onset accelerated smokers..., early-onset heavy smokers..., and early-onset moderate smokers...showed poorer regression-adjusted mean MHI-5 scores in later adulthood than stable abstainers, even after controlling for baseline mental health and covariates. Whether or not a difference in MHI-5 scores was present between quitters and stable abstainers was inconclusive. The concurrent co-use of alcohol and marijuana in young adulthood significantly mediated the relationship between smoking trajectory and mental health. |

Education Matters: Longitudinal Pathways to Midlife Heavy Drinking in a National Cohort of Black Americans Addiction 117,8 (August 2022): 2225-2234. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/add.15882 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Black Studies; Educational Attainment; Life Course; Racial Differences; Socioeconomic Background Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Aims: To estimate longitudinal pathways from childhood socioeconomic position (SEP) to educational attainment and midlife heavy drinking in Black Americans in order to identify potential points of early intervention to reduce risk for alcohol-related problems in adulthood. Design, Setting, Participants: Data are from 1,299 Black Americans in the US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, followed from 1979 (ages 15-19) through 2012. Given gender differences in factors related to education and alcohol outcomes, gender-stratified path models were analyzed. Measurements: Youth socioeconomic indicators included parental education (approximating childhood SEP) and adolescent poverty duration. Education-related measures included high-poverty school, perceived school safety, academic problems, suspension from school, educational expectations, and educational attainment. Adulthood measures included repeated unemployment, poverty duration, and mean frequency of heavy drinking (6+ drinks/day) in young adulthood and midlife. Covariates included age, dual-parent household, marital status, early drinking onset, and family history of alcohol problems. Findings: For both genders, two main pathways originating from low childhood SEP flowed to educational attainment through (1) educational expectations and (2) suspension, and from educational attainment to midlife heavy drinking (total indirect effect = 0.131 (95% confidence interval [CI]: .072-.197) for women, and 0.080 (.035-.139) for men). For both genders, adolescent poverty (standardized βs >.135), academic problems (βs >.220), and school suspension (βs >.165) were significantly (ps <.05) related to lower educational expectations. In adulthood, educational attainment was indirectly protective against midlife heavy drinking through its significant effects (ps <.05) on young adult heavy drinking for both genders (βs < -.200) and economic hardships for women (βs < -.290). Conclusions: Low childhood socio-economic position among black Americans appears to be associated with subsequent, adverse socio-economic and school experiences that lead to lower educational attainment and, ultimately, greater heavy drinking at mid-life. Interventions that mitigate these earlier, adverse experiences might have indirect effects on mid-life heavy drinking. |

Drinking Patterns, Drinking Contexts and Alcohol-Related Aggression Among Late Adolescent and Young Adult Drinkers Addiction 100, 7 (July 2005): 933-945. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1360-0443.2005.001121.x/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Behavior, Antisocial; Behavior, Violent; Gender Differences; Peers/Peer influence/Peer relations Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The main objectives of this study were to determine: (1) the relative roles of heavy episodic drinking (HED), drinking frequency and drinking volume in explaining alcohol-related aggression and (2) whether drinking context variables (i.e. usual drinking locations, typical drinking companions and extent of peer drinking) confound or modify the relationship between HED and alcohol-related aggression or whether they predict alcohol-related aggression independently. A secondary analysis of the US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth was conducted. Alcohol-related aggression (denoted fights after drinking) was measured based on self-reports of arguments or fights that occurred during or after drinking in the previous 12 months. A composite sample of drinkers, ages 17-21, from the 1994, 1996 and 1998 Young Adult surveys ( n = 738) was used. Frequency of drinking and drinking volume largely confounded the association between HED and fights after drinking. Usually drinking in public locations away from home versus private locations was found to be significantly associated with a greater likelihood of fights after drinking among females. Among males, usual drinking location modified the relationship between drinking frequency and alcohol-related aggression, with the greatest risk of aggression for males who drank frequently and usually drank in public locations away from home. Programs designed to reduce drinking frequency in this population and to increase the safety of drinking locations in public places away from home may prove to be beneficial in reducing alcohol-related aggression.
