National studies indicate that alcohol and drug involvement increases during transition from adolescence to young adulthood. The present study evaluated change in alcohol and drug use as youth move from living with their family of origin to independent living environments. Two samples of youth, those who had previously been treated for alcohol and drug problems (n = 102), and a sample of non-abusing youth (n = 70) with comparable socioeconomic backgrounds and family history of alcohol dependence, were compared as they transitioned into their first independent living environment. There was a 35% increase in the number of monthly drinking episodes across this transition to independent living, and a 46% increase in number of drinks per week. Drug involvement was less affected by this developmental transition, however a larger proportion of teens with a history of substance problems reported use of drugs (31% vs. 48%) following transition to independent living. Both level of exposure to substances in the new environment and peer substance use were significant predictors of post-transition substance involvement. Findings highlight significant changes in alcohol involvement in relation to this critical developmental transition of late adolescence and young adulthood. |
