摘要

Following investigations on youth drug use, the teenage population’s substance use is attributable to a number of social, psychological, and environmental causes due to its generation from the root of agriculture. Rehm et al. (Addiction 98:1051–1060, 2003 [1]) emphasize the need to understand teenage drinking cultures in their quest to understand the relationship between these patterns of drinking and the consequences that follow. While Brook et al. (Addict Behav 26:103–116, 2001 [2]) do find that certain cultures affect teenage patterns of marijuana use, family, and socioeconomic status are more decisive factors even with respect to such patterns of substance usage. Pro-drug norms affecting juveniles are the chief thematic concern of Sussman et al. (Subst Use Misuse 37:111–123, 2002 [3]), who demonstrate how such distortions in perspective lead to unprecedented rates of substance abuse among the most at-risk youth populations. Risk factors are also identified by Chen and Kandel (Am J Public Health 85:41–47, 1995 [4]), who provide a longitudinal overview of how drug use order evolves at different life transitions between adolescence and mid-thirties. At the same time, Lundborg (J Health Econ 24:279–299, 2005 [5]) studies the role of economic determinants in the aggressive consumption of alcohol while Hawkins et al. (Psychol Bull 112:64–105, 1992 [6]) review risk and protective factors associated with the prevention of substance abuse. The social learning theory as it pertains to substance abuse and academic achievement is explored by Akers (Social learning and social structure: a general theory of crime and deviance. Northeastern University Press, 1998 [7]), and the connection between drugs and education by Van Gundy (Sociol Spectr 26:117–142, 2006 [8]).
