The Impact of Incarceration and Treatment on Substance Use in High-Risk Longitudinal Samples: Persistent and Interrupted Users Public Deposited
- Abstract
The present research was conducted to examine the association between environmental context and cannabis use in a high-risk, selected sample of adolescents that were participants in a multi-wave longitudinal study: Genetics of Antisocial Drug Dependence (GADD) (n = 1,165). The following study assessed whether certain restrictive conditions, such as incarceration and treatment, interrupted patterns of regular cannabis users that were separated into specific use trajectory classes. Results indicate a statistically significant difference between trajectory classes regarding the context of incarceration. The mean values for each restrictive condition also support the trajectory shapes of each class. These results suggest that environmental context is imperative to accurately understand and assess an individual’s substance use behavior.
