本文的目的是描述和检查一个途径，青少年药物使用增加在青春期早期和中期。它借鉴了最近对青少年压力，药物使用和家庭过程的研究，以描述生命历程的一个重要阶段。所提出的途径的一个主要原则是，随着时间的推移，紧张的生活经历的累积效应可能导致青少年吸毒的急剧升级。此外，根据以前的压力研究，我们提出，这种影响可能会受到性别，收入，家庭依恋，自尊和掌握等因素的调节。使用4年的面板数据从家庭健康研究（n=651青少年年龄11-14岁，在第1年），我们估计一个分层的增长曲线模型，检查压力的生活事件和同伴关系对药物使用的时变影响。研究结果表明，随着时间的推移，经历大量的生活事件与吸毒的显著“增长”有关，即使在控制了由于年龄或同伴关系造成的“增长”之后。此外，这种关系受到家庭依恋的调节;高水平的依恋有助于显着减少这种增长。
The purpose of this paper is to describe and examine one pathway by which adolescent drug use increases during early and mid-adolescence. It draws upon recent research on adolescent stress, drug use, and family processes to describe an important stage of the life course. A chief principle underlying the proposed pathway is that the cumulative effect of stressful life experiences over time can lead to a steeper escalation of drug use in adolescence. Furthermore, based on previous stress research, we propose that this effect may be moderated by factors such as sex, income, family attachment, self-esteem, and mastery. Using 4 years of panel data from the Family Health Study (n=651 adolescents ages 11-14 during Year 1), we estimate a hierarchical growth curve model that examines the time-varying effects of stressful life events and peer relations on drug use. The results indicate that experiencing a high number of life events over time is related to a significant "growth" of drug use, even after controlling for "growth" due to age or peer relations. In addition, this relationship is moderated by family attachment; high levels of attachment serve to diminish this growth significantly.
