参与酒精和/或香烟，大麻，其他非法药物和医学处方精神活性物质的顺序阶段。在15至35岁的纵向队列中研究了从青春期到成年期的药物。替代模型的进展进行了测试，他们的拟合优度。确定了四个阶段：法律的药物、酒精或香烟;大麻;大麻以外的非法药物;以及医疗处方药物。男子发展为非法药物取决于先前饮酒，而妇女则是发展为大麻的充分条件，无论是吸烟还是饮酒。发病年龄和在较低阶段使用药物的频率是进一步进展的强有力的预测因素。
Sequential stages of involvement in alcohol and/or cigarettes, marijuana, other illicit drugs and medically prescribed psychoactive. drugs from adolescence to adulthood are investigated in a longitudinal cohort that has been followed from ages 15 to 35. Alternative models of progression are tested for their goodness of fit. Four stages are identified: that of legal drugs, alcohol or cigarettes; marijuana; illicit drugs other than marijuana: and medically prescribed drugs. Whereas progression to illicit drugs among men is dependent upon prior use of alcohol, among women either cigarettes or alcohol is a sufficient condition for progression to marijuana. Age of onset and frequency of use at a lower stage of drug use are strong predictors of further progression.
