There are stage-specific characteristics and common characteristics (delinquent participation, peer drug use) throughout the developmental sequence of drug use despite declines over the last two decades in the prevalence of the use of different drugs.
Abstract
There are stage-specific characteristics and common characteristics (delinquent participation, peer drug use) throughout the developmental sequence of drug use. Despite declines over the last two decades in the prevalence of the use of different drugs, young people who use drugs display characteristics over historical time similar to those of young drug users 20 years ago.

The developmental pattern of drug involvement identified in the early 1970s still characterizes adolescent pathways of drug involved in the late 1980s and the results confirm the more important role of alcohol among males and cigarettes among females in the progression into various drug classes.

Two prospective longitudinal surveys based on New York State high school students indicate well-defined steps underlying adolescent progression and regression in drug use and the identification of stages in drug behavior has implications regarding the optimum strategy for studying factors that predict, differentiate, or result from drug use.

Drug usage in early adolescence (age 14) was related to concurrent and preschool personality characteristics for a sample of 54 girls and 51 boys and the personality concomitants and antecedents of drug use differed somewhat as a function of gender and the drug used.
