摘要

The issue of co-occurrence of problem behaviors among juveniles is of vital importance to all who are concerned with identifying and evaluating these behaviors, making decisions about placement and treatment, and delivering services. Because substance-related behaviors such as drinking alcohol, using marijuana, and selling drugs can have such serious consequences for youth, understanding how these behaviors co-occur is especially important. Based on self-report data from the first two waves of the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this Bulletin answers co-occurrence questions such as 'If a youth has recently used alcohol, what is the likelihood that he has also used marijuana.' or 'If a youth has sold drugs, what are the chances that she also drinks alcohol and uses marijuana.' It also compares co-occurrence findings by age group, gender, and race/ethnicity. The analysis shows that a youth who engages in one substance-related behavior is much more likely to engage in another. For example, the percentages of youth who used marijuana or sold drugs were much greater among youth who drank alcohol than those who did not. These and other findings reported in this Bulletin contribute to our understanding of substance-related behaviors among youth and provide useful input for prevention and treatment efforts.
