This book presents new and important information about adolescent
drug use. The book is intended for human service professionals,
teachers, researchers, and students interested in the issue of
early adolescent drug use and its causes and pervasiveness in a
multiethnic population. Today, the field of adolescent drug use
research relies on integrative models that permit competing
explanations of drug use. This approach promotes flexibility in
testing hypotheses pertinent to adol- cents of very different
social and cultural backgrounds or personal characteristics.
Longitudinal studies, including the one presented in these pages,
have identified many risk and protective factors or processes that
are linked to adolescent drug use. We review these throughout this
book and present new information from our own research. Our point
of departure is to extend and elaborate descriptive research and
models of adolescent drug research to cover the unique and diverse
experiences of adolescents who are Hispanic, African American, and
White non-Hispanic.
