Risk factors for young adult substance use among women who were teenage mothers
2009, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :Moreover, many biological measures can only assess substance use within a short window of time, whereas questionnaire data can elicit patterns of substance use over time. Additionally, there is support for the validity of self-reports of substance use in the literature (Cornelius, Goldschmidt, & Dempsey, 2003; Fendrich, Mackesy-Amiti, Johnson, Hubbell, & Wislar, 2004; Hancock et al., 1991; Martin, Wilkinson, & Kapur, 1988; Pedersen, 1990; Rouse, Kozel, & Richards, 1985). Future research may also specifically examine concurrent or conjoint drug use, because there is evidence that polysubstance use is common, may be influenced by similar developmental trajectories, and may be more problematic (Jackson, Sher, & Schulenberg, 2008; Schmid et al., 2007).
