Research increasingly shows that childhood substance use is a substantial public health concern (Donovan, 2007; Hibell et al., 2012; Johnston, O’Malley, Bachman, & Schulenberg, 2012). Early initiation of substance use in childhood is associated with substance use problems later during the life course (Clark, Cornelius, Kirisci, & Tarter, 2005; Fergusson, Lynskey, & Horwood, 1994). Many risks are related across the life course, and having one risk during childhood increases the likelihood that another will develop (Catalano et al., 2012). Thus, these issues indicate a need for early substance use intervention and prevention approaches. The majority of research and prevention efforts, however, target middle-school and high-school students, simply because a larger proportion of adolescents are likely to engage in substance-using behaviors compared to younger children.
