Adolescent Risk Factors for Binge Drinking during the Transition to Young Adulthood: Variable- and Pattern-Centered Approaches to Change.

Schulenberg, John; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v32 n4 p659-74 Jul 1996

Examined the extent to which risk factors for concurrent binge drinking in adolescence can predict changes during transition to young adulthood. Found that being male, possessing low self-efficacy, and drinking primarily "to get drunk" were unconditional risk factors for increased binge drinking over time. Other adolescent risk factors were conditional on initial level of binge drinking. (AA)
