Abstract
The aim of this exploratory study was to identify developmental patterns of adolescent concurrent alcohol, cannabis, and other illicit drug use and their preadolescent individual, familial, and social risk factors in a population-representative cohort from the province of Quebec, Canada (N = 1,593; 48.4% male). Age 12-17 years self-reports of alcohol, cannabis, and other illicit drug use were collected. Latent growth modeling was used to analyze developmental patterns of single- or polysubstance use (SU/PSU), and multinomial regression examined their association with risk factors assessed at age 10-12 years. Five developmental patterns were revealed, including nonusers (12.8% sample) and four classes reflecting different levels of SU/PSU (5.8%-37.5%), varying in severity based on onset, frequency, and type of substances used. Boys and girls were similarly represented throughout SU/PSU patterns. In comparisons with nonusers, several preadolescent risk factors were associated with increasing severity of SU/PSU. Possibly indexing fearlessness/disinhibition, low internalizing symptoms were common to all adolescent users. An earlier onset of substance use and increasing use of substances throughout adolescence were linked with having deviant peers for all user classes but later-onset users. Preadolescents manifesting externalizing problems and exposed to family adversity in addition to the above risk factors showed the earliest onset and most frequent adolescent SU/PSU, especially those also exposed to less appropriate parenting. Consistent with the developmental model of substance use, the nature, number, and severity of preadolescent risk factors distinguished between the type and severity of SU/PSU patterns in adolescence and call for a consistent strategy of universal, selective, and indicated preventive interventions.

期刊介绍:
Developmental Psychology ® publishes articles that significantly advance knowledge and theory about development across the life span. The journal focuses on seminal empirical contributions. The journal occasionally publishes exceptionally strong scholarly reviews and theoretical or methodological articles. Studies of any aspect of psychological development are appropriate, as are studies of the biological, social, and cultural factors that affect development. The journal welcomes not only laboratory-based experimental studies but studies employing other rigorous methodologies, such as ethnographies, field research, and secondary analyses of large data sets. We especially seek submissions in new areas of inquiry and submissions that will address contradictory findings or controversies in the field as well as the generalizability of extant findings in new populations. Although most articles in this journal address human development, studies of other species are appropriate if they have important implications for human development. Submissions can consist of single manuscripts, proposed sections, or short reports.
