Selecting, retaining, and socializing friends
Title
Selecting, retaining, and socializing friends: substance use similarity among adolescent friends.
Creator
DeLay, Dawn, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Psychology
Abstract/Description
Friends have been implicated in the acquisition of adolescent substance use, but little attention has been given to how the origins of substance use similarity vary across groups. The first aim of this study is to examine whether friend selection, de-selection, and socialization differ as a function of friendship group's substance use. The second aim of this study is to extend Simulation Investigation for Empirical Network Analyses (SIENA) by demonstrating how group-level interactions can be...
Show moreFriends have been implicated in the acquisition of adolescent substance use, but little attention has been given to how the origins of substance use similarity vary across groups. The first aim of this study is to examine whether friend selection, de-selection, and socialization differ as a function of friendship group's substance use. The second aim of this study is to extend Simulation Investigation for Empirical Network Analyses (SIENA) by demonstrating how group-level interactions can be included in the mode, and to demonstrate a new method to follow-up statistically significant group-level interactions in SIENA. Participants include 1419 Finnish students (729 females, 690 males) from upper secondary schools in Finland. Two waves of data were collected, starting when most participants were between 15 and 17 years of age. Waves of data collection were separated by one year. Results indicate that friends are selected, deselected, and socialized for substance use. Follow-up illustrations indicate that the magnitude of these processes vary as a function of substance use in the friendship group.

Adolescent trauma: Motor vehicle crashes while under the influence
Title
Adolescent trauma: Motor vehicle crashes while under the influence.
Creator
Davis, Nora Beatrice., Florida Atlantic University, Hayes, Janice S.
Abstract/Description
The purpose of this study was to identify and describe the outcome of adolescent trauma victims with positive toxicology screening who were involved in motor vehicle crashes. This was a retrospective study conducted at an urban Level I trauma center. A sample of 134 subjects with positive toxicology screen, ages 15 to 25, for the period January 1993 to December 1996, were included in the study. Outcome, sex, age, injury severity score, length of stay, and hospital cost were analyzed by...

A sample of 134 subjects with positive toxicology screen, ages 15 to 25, for the period January 1993 to December 1996, were included in the study. Outcome, sex, age, injury severity score, length of stay, and hospital cost were analyzed by multiple regression. A significant relationship between sex, age, injury severity, length of stay, and hospital cost was established (p $<$.0001). Subsequently, Spearman's correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between outcome, injury severity, discharge, and hospital cost (p $<$.05).

Pubertal timing as a moderator of the associations between parental restrictiveness and adolescent alcohol abuse
Title
Pubertal timing as a moderator of the associations between parental restrictiveness and adolescent alcohol abuse.
Creator
Dickson, Daniel J., Laursen, Brett, Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Psychology
Abstract/Description
Adolescent alcohol abuse increases across the adolescent years. If left unchecked, alcohol abuse can give rise to delinquency, poor grades, and risky sexual behavior (Stueve & O’Donnell, 2005; Ellickson, Tucker, & Klein, 2003). Past research suggests that minimal parental oversight increases the risk for adolescent alcohol abuse. There is also evidence, however, that parents withdraw from oversight in the face of adolescent problem behaviors (Barber & Olsen, 1997; Hafen & Laursen, 2009). Each...
Show moreAdolescent alcohol abuse increases across the adolescent years. If left unchecked, alcohol abuse can give rise to delinquency, poor grades, and risky sexual behavior (Stueve & O’Donnell, 2005; Ellickson, Tucker, & Klein, 2003). Past research suggests that minimal parental oversight increases the risk for adolescent alcohol abuse. There is also evidence, however, that parents withdraw from oversight in the face of adolescent problem behaviors (Barber & Olsen, 1997; Hafen & Laursen, 2009). Each may vary according to the child’s physical development. Parents may respond to pubertal maturation with reduced supervision and early maturing girls may be sensitive to parent supervision because of the additional pressures and attention they receive from older, possibly deviant, peers (Stattin, Kerr, & Skoog, 2011).
