Adolesc And yA Final Flashcards
What makes SUDS use different in adolescent and YA?
Higher rates of natural recovery. Greater experimentation risky practices.
What are the most at risk group for substance abuse?
Higher for persons under age 25 relative to other cohorts.
What are the general pattern of cig, alcohol, flavored drinks, marajuana, illicit drugs trend in use?
Decrease 12-13 cigarettes and etoh bev. Same alcohol and most illicit drugs. Increase marajuana
What is requirement for suds use disorder
Maladaptive pattern of SUDS use leading to clinical significant impairments or distress. 2 sXS past year of a variety of clusters: - impaired control; -social impairment, risky use, pharmacological criteria.
What is the college prevelence of alcohol, marijuana, and illicit drugs?
Alcohol in past year 81%, marijuana in the past year 32%, other illicit drug in the past year 12%
What does the dsm 5 mean by impaired control and social impairment?
Impaired control: use in larger amounts intended, problem cutting down, time spent obtaining and or recovering. Craving. Social Impairment- recurrent failure to fulfill major role obligations. Continued use despite interpersonal problems. Important activities are given up.
What does the dsm mean by risky use and pharmacological criteria?
Risky use: recurrent use in physically hazardous situations. Continued use despite physical or psychological problems. Pharmacological: tolerance (need more for same effect) withdrawal: can include agonist substitution.
Prevelence of problematic suds use in adolescents? College students rate of alcohol and dependence?
8% of adolescents meet criteria for some substance abuse or dependency. 31% meet criteria for alcohol abuse and 6% dependence.
Why are their problems diagnosing adolescents and young adults?
Developmental insensitivity. Over identification. Maturing out. Different patterns.
For developmental insensitivity issues what Alternative criteria (four) were posited by Wagner and Austin (2006)?
Breaking curfew. Lying to parents. Showing reduction in grades. Engaging in truancy
What criteria (three) are overidentified in younger cohorts compared to adults?
Tolerance. Time spent obtaining substances
(ADOLS and YA takes more time to trying to obtain drink.. ) Substance use in hazardous situations.
Adolescents use alcohol and drugs differently from adults (three examples)?
1.Greater incidence of binge drinking; lower incidence of daily drinking. 2.Engage in more polyp harming E.g. Drink and pot. 3.More likely to show comorbid behavior problems, including disruptive and antisocial behaviors
What is alcohol abuse highest comorbidity (4) with?
Polydrug use/abuse. Conduct and ODD, ADHD
What are methods of Classifying “Problem” Use in these Cohorts (3)?
Use DSM-V criteria.Classify based on frequency of use-> Daily = problematic. Use a high risk practice->Most common = “binge”
Discuss the three forms of BAC levels? and their sxs?
At moderate doses (.08 > BAC > .20). Moderate to high (.20 > BAC >.30). Extreme
(BAC >.35 or so)
Discuss sxs associated the three forms of BAC levels?
At moderate doses (Disinhibition, Coordination,
Slurred speech). Moderate to high (Vomiting,
Blackouts). Extreme (Suppression of medullary function, Death)
Secular Trends in Binge Drinking (Hingson & White, 2014)?
Decline in 12th grade drinking since 1982. Trends of binge drinking then that dips and more drug taking.
Dsicribe the other “binge” definitions: Gender-variant, NIH definition, and Extreme Binge?
Gender-variant : 5+ drinks for men/ 4+ drinks for women on at least one occasion in past 2 weeks.
NIH definition: 5+ drinks for men/ 4+ drinks for women over the course of two hours on at least one occasion in past 2 weeks leading to BAC level of .08+
Extreme Binge: 12+ drinks over 2 hours on at least one occasion in past 2 weeks
What are high risk drinking styles (3 explanations)?
Increased levels of alcohol-related problems to the individual or college community. Can be a pattern that students enter into (e.g., pregaming) or can be some behavior that they do that involves drinking. Refers to the way the student drinks, rather than the pure quantity alone.
What is the prevalence of pregaming?
Early work indicated that pregaming was common. Common in high school, but appears to ramp up in during transition to college and immediately upon college entry.
What are possible risk factors (four) related to pregamming?
Younger age (i.e., under 21). Typical quantity and HED status. Social norms of pre game frequency. Pregaming in HS
Consequences of pregamming?
Significantly more problems for pregamers than nonpregamers. Also related to adverse judicial events.
Chugging, Keg stands and Beer bongs are categorized under what term?
Extreme Consumption Games
What three models did Sher (1991) propose to explain adolescent onset substance abuse?
Enhanced Reinforcement Pathway. Negative Affect Pathway. Deviance Prone Pathway.
Sher (1991) Enhancement Reinforcement Pathway?
- Genetic diathesis to substance use. 2. Sensitivity to substance’s effects. 3. Positive expectancies for substance use. 4. Substance use problem.
Evidence Supporting Sher (1991) Enhancement Reinforcement Pathway?
- Parental family history of SUD increases likelihood of teen having substance problem 2x to 9x 2. Boys of alcoholic fathers had less sensitivity to effects of alcohol than FH- boys e.g. less static ataxia. 3. FH+ teens have greater positive alcohol expectancies than FH- teens, even before onset of alcohol initiation
Sher (1991) Negative Affect Pathway?
Idea that teen develops SUD in response to stress and negative affect. (Lacks empirical support overall). Life stresses and daily hassles->Substance use reduces distress
-> Substance use problem
Sher (1991) Deviance Prone Pathway?
1.Adolescent substance use is part of much larger problem with general antisocial behavior. E.g. truency, stealing. 2.Poses that causes of substance use are similar to causes of other disruptive behaviors
Sher (1991) Deviance Prone Pathway’s other disruptive behaviors (4)?
1.Early problems with neurobehavioral disinhibition e.g.Behavioral undercontrol, emotional reactivity and deficits in executive function 2.Cognitive and academic delays 3.Peer rejection, 4.Low parental monitoring
Protective Factors for SUDS use?
1.Good parental monitoring of child’s daily activities. Protective regardless of academic and peer status. 2. Parents sensitive and response to children and who use discipline in a consistent, non-coercive manner
Course of Substance Use over developmental time?
Majority of adolescents initiate alcohol use prior to high school graduation (earlier the greater risk).
What is Notion that individuals transition from “lighter” drugs to “heavier drugs”?
Gateway Drug Hypothesis: Identified a pattern for how problematic use can progress as a function of type of drug. no use->cig-> alcohol..
What was Gateway Theory Contributions (2) and Limitations (2)?
Gave framework for how individuals progressed to different substances. Gave explanation for hard drug use. BUT Decline in tobacco popularity makes gateway from cigarettes to alcohol less likely in today’s culture. Other models have emerged recently.
Prevalence of Substance Use in Emerging Adulthood?
Rates of use for all substances are highest in the 18-25 age range. Young adulthood corresponds to the ages for “traditional” college students.
Risk factors: Binge drinking rates are higher for students who are (5)?
Male; Caucasian; Under age 24; In a fraternity or sorority and Athletes (off season)
School type risk factors (6)?
Higher for schools in rural areas, Co-ed, Have high population of resident students, Located in Northeast or North Central US. weather and Highly competitive schools
STandard way to assess Problematic Use?
Binge drinking has often been convention in assessing whether student has problem. Binge drinking associated with greater number of problems compared to students who drink but do not binge.
What method and conclusion did Dr. Hass’s dissertation on drinking styles come to?
Surveyed students on drinking practices, consequences and beliefs in spring 2000.
Quantity alone is an insufficient metric for predicting problematic drinking in college students
Styles with rapid consumption and pro-intoxication beliefs identified
Style and beliefs are equally, if not more important, in predicting problematic use
What were the findings of the pre-college Pregaming (Haas, Smith, Kagan & Jacob, 2012)
Prevalence rate was 65% with most students pregaming on less than 50% of occasions, and attaining a BAC of .07. Pregaming predicted an additional 7% variance in predicting problems above-and-beyond quantity. Gender, ethnicity and Greek status were NOT moderators in relationship between pregaming and alcohol-related problems
In the pre-college Pregaming what was there over time patterns of Pregaming Trajectories (Haas, Smith & Kagan, 2013)?
Almost 70% of drinkers reported an increase in pregaming frequency during the first 8 weeks of school. Quantity per occasion also rose dramatically over time (baseline entering freshman to fall).
Please describe Sher’s deviance prone pathway?
Genetic diathesis to substance use-> (Behavioral Undercontrol, Emotional Reactivity, Executive Functioning Deficits)-> (Disruptive Behavior Problems, Academic and School-Related Problems
)-> Peer Rejection and Association with Deviant Peers-> Substance Use Problem
What are the assumptions of the deviance prone pathway hypothesis?
Substance use is one behavioral manifestation of deviance. Other forms of deviant behavior exist and have common etiologies
Behavioral undercontrol Emotional reactivity
Executive deficits
What is problem behavior theory and what are its three systems?
Initial model described alcohol abuse in minority communities (B4 deviance prone). Psychosocial model of behavioral outcomes as a function of 3 systems:
personality (e.g. personal value), perceived environment(family and peer expectations), behavior system (problem and conventional behavioral structures and that work in opposition to each other)
Origins of problem behavior theory?
Social-psychological conceptual framework . Fundamental premise of theory reflects field perspective: All behavior is the result of person-environment interaction
What is a definition of problem behavior?
Problem behavior is behavior that is socially defined as a problem, as a source of concern, or as undesirable by the social and/or legal norms of conventional society and its institutions of authority. Usually elicits some form of social control response. Minimal = statement of disapproval. Extreme = incarceration
How do instigators or controls have an impact on Problem Behavior Theory?
Each system composed of variables that serve either as instigators or controls against involvement in problem behavior. <risk and protective factors. Balance between instigations and controls determine the degree of proneness for problem behavior within each system
Overall level of proneness for problem behavior, across all three systems (Personality, perceive environment and bx system), reflects the degree of psychosocial conventionality unconventionality characterizing each adolescent
What is the definition of Perceived Environment System and an example in Problem Behavior Theory?
Variables distinguished by conceptual closeness to problem behavior. Proximal variables directly implicate a particular behavior (e.g., peer models) Distal variables:
more remote in the causal chain, requiring theoretical linkage to behavior (e.g., parental support. Examples: Low parental disapproval for delinquent acts. Low compatibility between parent & peer expectations.
What is the definition of Personality System and an example in Problem Behavior Theory?
Include patterned and interrelated set of relatively enduring, sociocognitive variables—values, expectations, beliefs, attitudes, and orientations toward self and society—that reflect social learning and developmental experience. Problem behavior proneness includes: lower value on academic achievement, higher value on independence & greater social criticism, higher alienation,
What is the definition of Behavioral System in Problem Behavior Theory?
Includes both problem behaviors (includes high involvement in other problem behaviors and low involvement in conventional behaviors) and conventional behavior (Behaviors that are socially approved, normatively expected, and codified and institutionalized as appropriate for adolescents). Involvement in any one problem behavior increases the likelihood of involvement in other problem behaviors
What is the two forms of Behavioral System and examples in Problem Behavior Theory?
Problem behaviors include: Substance use, general deviant behavior (delinquent behaviors and norm-violative acts), risky driving. Behaviors that are socially approved, normatively expected, and codified and institutionalized as appropriate for adolescents
Examples: church attendance, and involvement with academic course work and achievement
What are protective factors and their function (four)?
Theoretical role of protective factors is to decrease the likelihood of engaging in problem behavior.1.Provide models for positive, prosocial behavior (e.g., peer models for school achievement)2.Give personal and social controls against problem behavior (e.g., attitudinal intolerance of deviance, or predictable parental sanctions)3.Support prosocial commitment (e.g., parental interest in and support of school activities).4.Play an additional, indirect role as well
What are protective factors and their outcomes (three)?
Theoretical role of risk factors is to increase the likelihood of engaging in problem behavior
Provide models for problem behavior (e.g., peer models for alcohol use), Increased opportunity (greater availability of marijuana and other illicit drugs), Personal and contextual vulnerability for its occurrence (e.g., limited perceived chances for success in life, or peer pressure to use drugs)
What is a Behavioral Addiction?
Any activity, substance, object, or behavior that becomes the major focus of a person’s life, during which they withdraw from other activities. Often other signs of having an addiction either physically, mentally, or socially. Includes a compulsion to repeatedly engage in an action until said action causes serious negative consequences to the person’s physical, mental, social, and/or financial well-being
