- Introduction: Longitudinal reciprocal associations between substance use and delinquency are understudied in general adolescent populations, with previous research showing differing findings. This study aims to assess reciprocal associations between drunkenness, drug use and delinquency in a prospective, age-homogenous cohort study, using an analytical strategy that separates within- from between-person variance. Material and methods: Data comes from the Longitudinal Research on Development in Adolescence (LoRDIA) study in Sweden. Adolescents were surveyed at baseline (age 13, grade 7, N = 1409) and followed-up at grades 8 and 9. Random-intercept cross-lagged panel analysis was undertaken. Results: Between-person variance in the development of drunkenness, drug use, and delinquency were between 26% and 47%. At the within-person level, the links between these behaviors were only weak: delinquency was associated with later drug use across grades 7–9, and with drunkenness between grades 8–9 only; drunkenness was associated with later drug use between grades 7–8. Drug use was not associated with later delinquency or drunkenness at any time point. Discussion: Stable individual factors play a larger than a hitherto known role in within- and over-time relationships between drunkenness, drug use, and delinquency. Longitudinal reciprocal associations between these behaviors are at best weak and such associations may not be of primary importance in practice with general adolescent populations. Moreover, the behaviors appear to follow three distinct developmental pathways, to which intervention design may need to pay attention. Conclusion: Reciprocal associations between drunkenness, drug use, and delinquency were assessed, highlighting the differential developmental pathways of these behaviors in early-mid adolescence.

- Introduction: Teenage drunkenness, drug use and criminal behaviour are traditionally viewed as ‘risk behaviours’. ‘Risk’ though may be understood as both proximal and distal, as well as risk for direct effects, e.g. on health, but also indirect effects on triggering other risk behaviours. The study of healthy adolescent growth needs to include such proximal (i.e. during adolescence) indirect risks. Development life-course theory (e.g. Catalano and Hawkins, 1996), for example, suggests that one ‘risk behaviour’ promotes another, potentially initiating a deleterious developmental ‘cascade’ trajectory. Longitudinal reciprocal associations between behaviours such as substance use and criminal behaviour are however understudied in normal adolescent populations, with previous research showing contradictory findings. Moreover, many studies conflate alcohol use, alcohol intoxication and use of illegal drugs. The aim of this study was to assess the relationships between drunkenness, illegal drug use and criminal behaviour in a prospective, age-homogenous cohort study, using analytical techniques that separate within- from between-person variance. Additionally, the results are discussed in the light of resilience and positive youth development perspectives which challenge our traditional concepts of ‘risk’. Method: Data comes from the Longitudinal Research on Development in Adolescence (LoRDIA) study in Sweden. 1409 adolescents were surveyed via self-report at baseline (age 13, grade 7) and followed-up at grades 8 and 9. Random-intercept cross-lagged panel (RI-CLP) analysis was undertaken. Results: Between-person variance in the development of the drunkenness, drug use and criminal behaviour was between 26% and 47%. At the within-person level, links between these behaviours were only very weak: criminal behaviour was associated with later drug use across grades 7-9, and with drunkenness between grades 8 and 9 only. Drug use was not associated with later criminal behaviour or drunkenness at any time point. Discussion: Stable individual factors play a larger than hitherto known role in within- and over-time relationships between drunkenness, drug use and criminal behaviour. Reciprocal associations between these behaviours are at best weak and may not be of primary importance in practice with normal adolescent populations. Moreover, their development appears to follow three distinct pathways, to which intervention design may need to pay attention. These results challenge the idea that these behaviours are inherently a proximal indirect risk, e.g. for other such behaviours, despite their within-time covariance. Viewing these results through resilience and positive youth development perspectives, the question is raised of when should these behaviours be considered part of normative adolescent development and how ‘risk’ might be better theorised and studied.

”Vem är jag utan cannabis?” En studie om behandling för personer med riskbruk, missbruk eller beroende av cannabis: Behandlares och klienters perspektiv och förändringsprocesser.

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Hur väl fungerar öppenvårdsbehandling för personer som använder cannabis? Hur upplever klienterna behandlingen? Och vilket blir utfallet? H Dessa frågor tas upp i denna slutrapport från en treårig studie av den behandling är saknas det text som Behandlingsgruppen för drogproblem i Göteborg erbjuder personer som använder cannabis. Insikter om hur behandling fungerar i prak ken är en vik g del i e kunskapsbaserat arbete. I synnerhet är klienternas upplevelser av behandlingen av central betydelse, llsammans med själva u allet av behandlingen. Det nns få studier som undersöker klienters perspek v på behandling och behandlarnas perspek v på sin prak k och fak skta resultat av behandling. De a är bakgrunden ll a Social resursförvaltning i Göteborgs Stad gav FoU i Väst/GR i uppdrag a genomföra studien, som är e delprojekt i det na onella projektet Trestad2. Rapporten riktar sig främst ll personal som arbetar inom missbruksvården eller som ger stöd och behandling ll personer som använder cannabis. Målet med rapporten är a förstå vilka typer av klienter som söker sig ll behandling, vilka förändringsprocesser de går igenom och vilket u all behandlingen ger. Avsikten är a iden era de förändringsmekanismer som är av betydelse för olika klienter i olika situa oner. Genom a förstå hur dessa förändringsmekanismer kan fungera hos olika individer kan behandlingen justeras och anpassas för a bä re stödja en person som vill leva e liv som inte är styrt av cannabis.
