过去的研究广泛关注青少年饮酒，特别是同伴影响和这种行为的其他预测因素。这项研究通过研究青春期饮酒与其他个人轨迹的关系以及这些关联如何因同伴背景而变化，从而转移了焦点。根据国家青少年健康纵向研究，我们发现青少年饮酒预示着学业成绩下降和情绪困扰加剧。然而，这些关联因同龄人的饮酒程度而异。一般来说，人与环境的不匹配会加剧饮酒的风险或削弱不饮酒的保护性质。微观层面和宏观层面的同伴环境（例如朋友、学校饮酒率）对于成就都很重要，而宏观层面的环境对于情绪困扰也很重要。这项研究提出了思考同龄人在青少年问题行为中的作用的新方法。
Past research has focused extensively on adolescent drinking, particularly on peer influences and other predictors of this behavior. This study shifts the focus by examining how drinking is associated with other individual trajectories during adolescence and how these associations vary by peer context. Drawing on the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we found that adolescent engagement in drinking predicted declining academic achievement and escalating emotional distress. These associations, however, varied by level of drinking in the peer context. In general, person-context mismatches exacerbated the risk of drinking or weakened the protective nature of not drinking. Both the micro-level and macro-level peer context (e.g., friends, school drinking rates) were important for achievement, while the macro-level context was important for emotional distress. This research suggests new ways of thinking about the role of peers in adolescent problem behavior.
