DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The present research proposal is designed to investigate potential mechanisms that may explain why work in adolescence is associated with an increased risk of drug involvement. Although much research has shown associations between work intensity and work quality on drug involvement, very little research has been performed that has investigated the mechanisms that explain why adolescents who work are at greater risk for drug involvement. The mechanisms that will be investigated are: (1) work intensity and poor work quality in adolescence are features of a developmental pathway, termed precocious development, that is also associated with adolescent drug involvement; (2) through work, adolescents are exposed to more opportunities to initiate drug use which is associated with drug involvement; (3) working generates income that adolescents use to procure drugs. Each mechanism will be investigated as acting independently as well as in conjunction with the other theories presented. Data from a prospective, longitudinal study of 678 adolescents in an urban setting, interviewed annually for ten years beginning in the first grade, will be used to investigate these issues.

描述（由申请人提供）： 本研究建议旨在研究潜在的机制，这些机制可能解释了为什么青春期的工作与药物参与风险增加有关。尽管许多研究表明，工作强度与药物参与的工作质量之间的关联，但很少进行研究，这些研究已经研究了一些机制，这些机制解释了为什么工作的青少年对药物参与的风险更大。将要研究的机制是：（1）青春期的工作强度和工作质量差是发育途径的特征，称为早熟发育，也与青少年药物的参与有关； （2）通过工作，青少年接触了更多与药物参与有关的吸毒的机会； （3）工作产生青少年用来采购药物的收入。每种机制都将被调查为独立作用以及与提出的其他理论一起进行的。从一年级开始的每年接受十年访谈的678名青少年对678名青少年进行的前瞻性纵向研究的数据将用于调查这些问题。
