AITKEN, SHERRIE S. DESANTIS, JAMES HARFORD, THOMAS C. CACES, M. FE Marijuana Use among Adults: A Longitudinal Study of Current and Former Users Journal of Substance Abuse 12,3 (Autumn 2000): 213-226 Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 566 Publisher: Elsevier This study examines the pattern of marijuana use among respondents who have passed the age of risk of onset, as well as some of the correlates related to the initiation and current use of marijuana. The data for this study included 8885 respondents drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience of Youth (NLSY). Based on cross-tabulations of lifetime marijuana use in 1984 and 1994, the following outcomes were examined: incidence of lifetime marijuana use, inconsistent reports of lifetime marijuana use, and current compared with former use. Controlling for the effects of all variables studied, significant and independent effects were noted for sociodemographic factors, former patterns of use, and the use of other substances.

This study examines changes in the lifetime prevalence of prescription and non-prescription drug use in a national longitudinal sample of young adults. Cohort data used in this study are from the National Longitudinal Survey, Youth Cohort (NLSY) who responded to questions on use of prescription drugs for the years 1984 and 1992 (N = 8,771). Results reveal increases in the lifetime prevalence of prescription use of sedatives, tranquilizers, and stimulants. Prescription use was higher among women while non-prescription use was higher among men. Non-prescription drug use in 1984 was significantly related to prescription use in 1992.
