Summary of Findings from the 1999

National Household Survey on Drug

Abuse

This report is an overview of the 1999 National Household Survey on Drug

Abuse (NHSDA). The principal findings reveal drug use decreased by 21

percent between 1997-99 among 12 to 17 year olds. Also, marijuana use

dropped by 26 percent during the same period among youth ages 12 to 17.

However, drug use increased by 28 percent over the past two years among 18

to 25 year olds. Incidence and prevalence data are provided for youth 12 years

and older for illicit drug use in addition to alcohol and tobacco. For the first

time, the survey included state-by-state and District of Columbia data; and an

interactive, bilingual, computer-based questionnaire were used which asked

questions and recorded respondents’ answers in both English and Spanish.

Trends in first-time use and perceptions of risk from usage are examined in the

report. Additional data reveal the use of Club Drugs (e.g. MDMA, GHB, LSD)

and methamphetamine are increasing.

National Survey Results on Drug Use

from the Monitoring the Future Study,

1975-1998, Volume I: Secondary School

Students

Results are presented from the 1998 Monitoring the Future study of American

secondary school students. Two of the major topics addressed are the

prevalence of drug use among American secondary school students—

especially 8th, 10th, and 12th graders—and trends in use by those students.

Data based on demographic information, gender, race/ethnicity, population

density, and parents’ education levels are provided. Data are broken out for 11

classes of drugs: marijuana (including hashish), inhalants, hallucinogens,

cocaine, heroin, opiates other than heroin, stimulants, sedatives, tranquilizers,

alcohol, and tobacco. Also, subclasses of drugs are featured which include,

PCP and LSD, barbiturates and methaqualone, amyl and butyl nitrites,

methamphetamine, crack cocaine and others. For both licit and illicit drugs,

the following information is given: grade of first use; the students' own attitudes

and beliefs; related attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of others in their social

environment; and perceived drug availability.

Students and Young Adults

Results are presented of all surveys through 1998 from the Monitoring the

Future study of American secondary school students, college students, and

young adults. Since 1980, the Monitoring the Future studies have provided

very good coverage of the national college student population, including all fulltime students, one to four years post-high school, who are enrolled in a two- or

four-year college in March during the year of the survey. The young adult

sample includes the college students and is comprised of representative

samples from each graduating class from 1984 to 1997, all surveyed in 1998.

Trend data are presented concerning the use of alcohol, marijuana, and other

illicit drugs among college students and young adults aged 19 to 32 years.

Differences between alcohol, tobacco, and drug use by college students as

compared with non-college students are examined, as are male-female

Alcohol, Violence, and Aggression

Alcohol Alert #38

The association among alcohol consumption, violence, and aggression and

the role of the brain in regulating these behaviors is explored in this report. Up

to 86 percent of homicide offenders; 37 percent of assault offenders; 60

percent of sexual offenders; 57 percent of men and 27 percent of women

involved in marital violence; and 13 percent of child abusers had been drinking

before the time of the offense. Alcohol by itself does not cause violence, but

other factors exist that might interact with alcohol to influence the expression

of aggression. Alcohol might promote aggression simply because people

expect it to, or it might bolster the courage of a person who already intends to

engage in a violent act. Childhood sexual abuse or neglect might precede

alcohol abuse in women. Children who only witness family violence might learn

to imitate what they witness. Research indicates that some violent behavior

might be amenable to treatment.

Substance Use/Abuse as a Predictor to

Illegal and Violent Behavior: A Review of

the Relevant Literature

This article reviews the available literature on alcohol and drug use/abuse and

psychopathology as predictors of violent behavior and criminally violent acts.

The relationship of cocaine/crack to violent crime has been established more

clearly for users of crack in inner-city areas than it has for users of other forms

of cocaine. In regard to race/ethnic or socioeconomic status factors, the most

clearly established are a higher proportion of young black males, compared

with other race/ethnic groups, actively involved in dealing cocaine/crack in

inner-city poverty areas. As for gender differences, alcohol abuse as a

predictor to and a precipitant of violent behavior is more clearly established for

males than for females. Drug abuse, as distinct from alcohol abuse, has been

found to predict subsequent violent behavior for both sexes. The combination

of substance use and psychopathology appears more likely to predict later

violent behavior in females. Psychopathology and mental health problems are

less likely to predict occurrence of either violent behavior or criminality in the

Violence and Substance Abuse Disorders:

World Out of Tune

This study suggests that alcohol-dependent persons are those who view

themselves as estranged from the people and situations around them. During

recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous, alcoholics learn about the sharing of

power, the reciprocity in relationships, and the self in the context of the

environment. They develop inner peace as a result. Violence, whether it is

internal or external, is a result of a perception of disconnection from the self

and the environment.

Alcohol and Illicit Drug Abuse and the

While acute alcohol and illicit drug use are common in homicide and suicide

with alcohol use or chronic abuse and use of illicit drugs. The risks of

with alcohol use or chronic abuse and use of illicit drugs. The risks of

homicide and suicide associated with alcohol or illicit drug use were elevated,

as were the risks of violent death associated with several indicators of chronic

alcohol abuse. In addition, nondrinkers living in a home with alcohol users

were at increased risk of homicide, and non-drug-using individuals residing in

homes with illicit drug users were at greatly increased risk of homicide.

Alcohol and illicit drug use appears to be associated with an increased risk of

violent death.

A Study of the Prevalence of Substance

Abuse and Violent Behavior Among

African-American Youth

One of the leading causes of substance abuse and violent behavior among

children and adolescents within the lower socio-economic strata of the AfricanAmerican community might be associated with counter-productive methods of

dealing effectively with what is perceived as anxiety-producing stress factors

stemming from the environment. Results of a study of 300 African-American

youth indicated a high correlation among socio-economic status, substance

abuse, and violent behavior. The study concluded that harbored deep within

the psyche of this group are feelings of helplessness regarding racism,

oppression, domestic violence, street violence, and the epidemiological

influences of AIDS that cause an increase in addictive and malicious behavior.

The Impact of Age of Onset of Substance

Use on Delinquency

This article presents a testable model to examine the link between age of

onset of substance use and delinquency. The model predicts that the effect of

early substance use on delinquency is indirect through mediating variables—

continuing alcohol and drug use, association with delinquent peers, and

engaging in deviant activities. The model is tested with use of data from the

Buffalo Longitudinal Survey of Young Men. The data support the model in

general. Early substance use is significantly associated with continuing

substance use, associating with delinquent peers, and engaging in deviant

activities. Association with peers and engaging in deviant activities

significantly mediate the effect of early substance use on all kinds of

delinquency, whereas continuing substance use has modest mediating roles

for the effect only on general and index delinquency.

The Nexus Between Alcohol and Violent

Crime

This study examines the nexus between alcohol and violent crime by

specifying alcohol as a moderating variable that interacts with other major

causes of violent crime. Data came from the first wave of the Buffalo

Longitudinal Survey of Young Men, a 5-year study of adolescent substance

use and delinquency with a random sample of 625 males ages 16 to 19 from

Buffalo, NY. Four major causes of violent crime at the individual level were

identified: deviant motives or attitudes, aggression and hostility, impulsivity,

and problem-solving ability. Analyses were conducted at two levels of

aggravated assault: prevalence of assault and frequency of assault. At the

level of prevalence of assault, data indicate that the usual drinking pattern

does not constitute an independent cause, but has significant interactions with

two of the major causes: deviant attitudes and aggression and hostility.

However, in the analysis of the frequency of assault, the findings indicate a

pattern that both usual drinking and drinking before offending have independent

explanatory power for aggravated assault. No interactions, however, were

explanatory power for aggravated assault. No interactions, however, were

found. The findings suggest that alcohol may have different roles in explaining

different levels of violent offending.

Problem Behaviors in Abused and

Neglected Children Grown Up: Prevalence

and Co-occurrence of Substance Abuse,

Crime, and Violence

This article describes the prevalence and patterns of overlap among alcohol

abuse, drug abuse, non-violent crime, and violence in abused and neglected

children. Using data from a prospective cohort design study, abused and

neglected children ages 11 or younger at time of abuse/neglect were matched

with a control group and followed up into adulthood. After controlling for

parental alcohol and drug problems, parental arrest, childhood poverty, and

ethnicity, researchers found that abused and neglected females, but not

males, were at significantly higher risk than were control group females for

substance abuse/dependence diagnoses and for arrests for violent crimes.

Abused and neglected males and females, compared with controls, had higher

rates of comorbidity for substance abuse and nonviolent arrests. Abused and

neglected females, compared with female controls, were at greater risk for

comorbidity for substance abuse and violent arrests as well. Overall, the

results indicate a gender difference in the consequences of childhood

victimization.

Profiles of Violent Youth: Substance Use

and Other Concurrent Problems

This study examines the prevalence of various violent behaviors among highschool age adolescents, the co-occurrence of teenage violence with other

public health problems, and gender differences in violence, using longitudinal

data for more than 4,500 high school seniors and dropouts from California and

Oregon. The results indicate that more than half the sample had engaged in

violence during the past year, and one in four had committed predatory

violence. Boys were more likely than girls to engage in most types of violence,

but both were equally prone to violence within the family. Violent youth were

more likely than their peers to have poor mental health, use drugs, drop out of

school, and be delinquent. Violent boys were more likely than violent girls to

commit non-violent felonies and sell drugs, but less likely to have poor mental

health or become a parent. Prevalence estimates for violence co-occurring with

three or more other problems ranged from 4 to 21 percent. The authors

conclude that teenage violence typically coexists with other emotional and

behavioral problems.

Substance Use Among Runaway and

Homeless Youth in Three National

Samples

This article compares the standardized estimates of the prevalence of

substance use by runaway and homeless youth ages 12 to 21 in various

settings with each other and with estimates for youth in the general

population. Four surveys were used: (1) a nationally representative survey of

runaway and homeless youth residing in federally and non-federally-funded

shelters; (2) a multi-city survey of street youth; (3) a nationally representative

household survey of youth with and without recent runaway and homeless

experiences; and (4) a nationally representative household survey of youth

whose previous runaway/homeless status was unknown. The results reveal

that for almost every substance, the prevalence or use was highest among

street youth. Shelter youth and household youth with recent

runaway/homeless experiences reported similar rates. In the household

surveys, substance use rates were lowest and were generally comparable.

The authors conclude that many homeless and runaway youth use

substances at rates substantially higher than non-runaway and non-homeless

Aggression, Violence, and Substance

Abuse in Adolescents

Adolescent aggression and drug abuse have a complex and significant

relationship. Aggression is a risk factor for the subsequent development of

drug abuse and can modify the course of drug abuse either directly through

pharmacological effects or indirectly by influencing attitudes and environmental

factors. Both aggression and drug abuse consist of several component

behaviors that lie on a continuum. For drug abuse, the essential behavior is

the use of one or more psychoactive substances to achieve a change in mood,

perception, or other cognitive or sensory modality of the brain. Aggression

involves a range of behaviors from ideation, plans, and verbal expression to

overt acts. When viewed from a developmental perspective, chronic aggressive

behavior among adolescents is associated with other concurrent antisocial

behaviors in aggressive conduct disorders. Early-onset conduct disorders

likely increase the risk for early initiation into drug use and later abuse.

Biological factors play a significant role in the development of aggressive

behavior. Multiple risk factors present in adolescents who abuse drugs and

manifest aggressive or violent behavior require a comprehensive assessment of

many areas of potential psychopathology and psychosocial functioning.

Discontinuation of the adolescent’s drug abuse and abstinence are the most

important intervention targets in treating such adolescents. Treatment

strategies include social skills training, behavioral contracting, relapse

prevention, and medication. The article recommends a comprehensive

approach to controlling aggressive behavior and drug abuse that targets

multiple problems and deficits in the adolescent’s psychosocial functioning.

Alcohol Misuse and Juvenile Offending in

Adolescence

The authors investigate the associations between alcohol misuse and juvenile

offending during the period from ages 15 to 16 in a birth cohort of New Zealand

adolescents. This analysis showed that young people who misused alcohol

had significantly higher rates of both violent and property offenses. Further

analysis suggested that a substantial component of the association between

alcohol misuse and juvenile offending arose from shared risk factors that were

common to both outcomes. These risk factors included measures of family social background, family and parental characteristics, individual characteristics,

and adolescents’ peer affiliations. After adjustment for antecedent risk factors,

the authors did not find any significant association between alcohol misuse

and odds of property offenses. However, young people who abused alcohol

had odds of violent offending that were 3.2 times the odds of those offenses for

young people who did not misuse alcohol.

Illicit Substance Use, Gender, and the

Risk of Violent Behavior Among

Adolescents

This article investigates the relationship between substance use and violent

behavior among adolescents and examines this relationship in both male and

female adolescents, using a cross-sectional analysis of the 1991 Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention's Youth Risk Behavior Survey. The results

indicate that a significant increase in the number of male and female

adolescents carrying weapons and physically fighting was associated with all

forms of substance use. The prevalence of physical fighting was also

significantly higher among adolescents who used illicit substances than

among adolescents who denied drug use. The risk of violent behavior

increased significantly, and was of equal magnitude for adolescent females

and males who were illicit substance users. The authors conclude that alcohol

and illicit substance use are highly associated with an increased risk of violent

behavior. The data also demonstrate that the risk of violence by adolescent

females who are substance users is substantial.

Significance of Alcohol for Violence and

Accidents

For almost all types of accidents and violence, there is a causal relationship

with alcohol intoxication or alcohol abuse. Alcohol may have significance as a

risk factor for the perpetrator, and for the victim. Younger males are overrepresented in much of the data that show causal relationship. Factors such

as drug abuse, unemployment, and other socio-demographic factors must be

Adolescent Self-Reported Behaviors and

Their Association with Marijuana Use

The health, social and psychological problems associated with drug use by

adolescents are discussed. The association between adolescent self-reported

problems and marijuana use is examined. Among those aged 12 to 17 years,

past year marijuana users were more likely than nonusers to report problem

behaviors in the past 6 months. A strong relationship was found between the

frequency of marijuana use and self-reported problems, particularly delinquent

behaviors, like running away from home and cutting classes or skipping

schools, and aggressive and/or illegal behavior, like destroying other people’s

property, physically attacking another person, or stealing. The more frequent

users were more likely to be the older youths, white, male, and to live in a

metropolitan area and in the West. Frequent users also were less likely to live

in a two-parent family and more likely to have moved in the past year.

Drug Use and Street Crime in Miami: An

(Almost) Twenty-Year Retrospective

This article reviews studies conducted in Miami to examine the drug-crime

relationship for street drug users. Early studies tested mechanisms for

accessing street populations of heroin users and assessing the nature and

extent of their drug use and criminality. Subsequent studies targeted a variety

of crime-involved heroin and cocaine users, including both women and men,

serious delinquents, adolescent and adult crack users, and cocaine users in

treatment and on the street. Major findings included the low risk of arrest for

income-generating crimes committed by heroin users and the prevalence of

HIV risk behaviors between both serious delinquents and female crack users.

Analyses consistently showed the critical importance of sample

characteristics in research on drug use, including age, cohort, and street

versus treatment status. Drug use was not the primary cause of criminality

because most drug users had already embarked on criminal careers before

the onset of drug use.

Frequency and Impact of Violent Trauma

Among Pregnant Substance Abusers

This report examines the prevalence of exposure to violent trauma by studying

96 low-income pregnant women enrolled in a residential substance abuse

treatment program. Results indicate that the sample had high rates of

exposure to violent trauma—72 percent had experienced sexual assault, 67

percent had experienced physical assault, and 68 percent displayed

symptoms consistent with posttraumatic stress disorder. Findings suggest

that treatment providers need to assess trauma histories and traumatic stress

symptoms.

Male Drinking and Violence-Related

Injury in the Emergency Room

This study measures the associations among violence-related injuries

(assaults and fights), alcohol consumption prior to the event, and drinking

patterns among males occupying hospital emergency rooms (ER’s) in Mexico

City. All patients were interviewed and breath-tested for alcohol consumption.

The control group was comprised of patients admitted to the ER because of

accidents that are less frequently reported as alcohol-related (for example,

workplace accidents, animal bites, or recreational accidents excluding neardrowning). Alcohol consumption prior to injury was found to be an important

risk factor for injuries resulting from violence. The study also shows that

quantity of usual alcohol consumption is more predictive of violence-related

injuries than frequency of drinking.
