Correlates of age at first alcohol use among a US-based sample of autistic underage youth
Background
Recent research has identified risk factors for hazardous alcohol use among autistic individuals, but correlates of age at first alcohol use are unclear.
Methods
This study analyzed 49 U.S.-based autistic youth (ages 16–20) who had ever consumed alcohol. Participants were categorized as being less than 16 years old (n=28) or 16 years or older (n=21) at first alcohol use. The analysis aimed to descriptively compare youth with younger versus older age at first alcohol use.
Results
Younger age at first alcohol use was associated with hazardous alcohol use, higher levels of anxiety, and lower masking of autistic traits
Conclusions
These findings demonstrate that autistic youth are at risk for underage alcohol use. More research is needed on alcohol and substance use in this population to develop tailored prevention and intervention programs.
期刊介绍:
Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders (RASD) publishes high quality empirical articles and reviews that contribute to a better understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) at all levels of description; genetic, neurobiological, cognitive, and behavioral. The primary focus of the journal is to bridge the gap between basic research at these levels, and the practical questions and difficulties that are faced by individuals with ASD and their families, as well as carers, educators and clinicians. In addition, the journal encourages submissions on topics that remain under-researched in the field. We know shamefully little about the causes and consequences of the significant language and general intellectual impairments that characterize half of all individuals with ASD. We know even less about the challenges that women with ASD face and less still about the needs of individuals with ASD as they grow older. Medical and psychological co-morbidities and the complications they bring with them for the diagnosis and treatment of ASD represents another area of relatively little research. At RASD we are committed to promoting high-quality and rigorous research on all of these issues, and we look forward to receiving many excellent submissions.
