Developmental Patterns of Substance Use by Gender and Their Relation to Individual, Parental, and Peer Factors

The current study aims to explore developmental pathways of substance use by gender. The influences of various predictors of gendered trajectories of substance use are also assessed. We draw on data from five waves (age 14-18 years old) of Korean Youth Panel Survey (KYPS). Semiparametric group-based...

Zusammenfassung:The current study aims to explore developmental pathways of substance use by gender. The influences of various predictors of gendered trajectories of substance use are also assessed. We draw on data from five waves (age 14-18 years old) of Korean Youth Panel Survey (KYPS). Semiparametric group-based models are estimated to identify heterogeneity in substance use for males and females. Multinomial logistic regression analyses are conducted to examine the association between substance use and predictors. Four alcohol use and tobacco use trajectory groups were identified for males and females. A notable difference between genders is that, unlike females, male substance use trajectories do not show a decreasing pattern. Regarding predictors of trajectory group membership, results indicate mixed findings between males and females.
