What Determines Adolescent Demand For Alcohol and Marijuana? A Comparison of Findings from the NLSY79 and the NLSY97 In: Social Awakening: Adolescent Behavior as Adulthood Approaches. R.T. Michael, ed. New York, NY: Russell Sage Foundation, 2001: pp. 299-338 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Russell Sage Foundation Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Drug Use; Gender Differences; Substance Use Chapter: Analyzed, compared, and contrasted the determinants of adolescent alcohol and drug use using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 Cohort and 1997 Cohort (NLSY79 and NLSY97, respectively). The final sample size from the NLSY79 analyses was 9,366 Ss; the final sample size from the NLSY97 analyses was 8,445 Ss. Results from the NLSY79 and NLSY97 models consistently indicate that demographic characteristics are important determinants of initiating alcohol and marijuana use before age 17 and engaging in frequent marijuana use before age 17. Girls were more likely than boys to report any alcohol or marijuana use. The effects of prices and policies on adolescent substance use are also discussed.
