“What the NIAAA task force called a culture of drinking leads many students to harm themselves or others and clearly is antithetical to academic success. The task force is right that we will need a concerted and coordinated effort if we are to change this culture…sadly and tragically, the serious problem of alcohol abuse and misuse on college campuses persists with students often coming to our campuses with histories of excessive drinking.”

(Susan Resneck Pierce, former President U of Puget Sound).”

Often a factor in physical and sexual assault and unintended sexual activity.

Contributes to academic problems.Exposure of the developing brain to alcohol might have long-lasting effects.

Half of all persons who die in traffic crashes involving drinking drivers under age 21 are persons other than the drinking driver.

Among college students under age 21 alone, 50,000 experience alcohol-related date rape, and 430,000 are injured by another student who has been drinking.

m Adolescence (in Humans): The period between sexual

maturation and the attainment of adult roles and responsibilities.

Many body systems are restructured.

Number, types, and connectivity of brain cells is changed.

With Puberty, Adolescents (in many species) Increase : sexual interest, romantic motivation,

emotional intensity, sleep/arousal regulation, appetite.

risk-taking, novelty-seeking, sensation seeking.

In Contemporary Society (U.S.): Average age of menarche is now age 12;

average age of first marriage for females is 26.

Many adult social roles--starting careers, owning a home, becoming parents--are now occurring a decade or more after puberty.

Adolescence has expanded from a 2-4 year interval to an 8-15 year interval in contemporary society.

Health Paradox of Adolescence:

Adolescence is the healthiest and most resilient period of the lifespan.

YET:

Overall morbidity and mortality rates increase 200-300% between middle childhood and late adolescence/early adulthood.

Morbidity and Mortality Due to:

Problems with control of behavior and emotion.

Increase in risk-taking, sensation-seeking, and erratic (emotionally-influenced) behavior.

Early onset of co-occurring illnesses including depression, eating disorders, alcohol and other substance use disorders.

Are adolescents particularly vulnerable to alcohol-induced organ damage?

Prenatal or early postnatal alcohol exposure increases alcohol preference during infancy and adolescence.

Under separation stress, adolescent nonhuman primates double their rates of alcohol consumption--related to changes in corticotrophin and cortisol levels or serotonin.

Adolescent rats show an attenuated corticosterone response to ethanol, with gender differences.

Binge-like episodes produce long-lasting changes in memory, and damage to frontal-anterior cortical regions.

Prolonged ethanol exposure enhances withdrawal-related behavior and produces long-lasting neurophysiological changes in cortex and hippocampus.

•Develop on average before age 9 and sometimes before age 5.

•Can be found in children before drinking begins.

•Shift from primarily negative at about age 9 to primarily positive by age 13.

Cognitive Development and Adolescent Decision-Making:• Immaturity of cognitive processing leads to risky decisions.

• Or… reason-based decision-making overridden in social-emotional contexts.

• Or… adolescent decision-making is configured for adolescent transitions—without intervention (scaffolding), there will be casualties.

Parents, Peers, and Community Influences:

•Warm, loving parents are protective; child-parent conflict increases risk (not well supported).

•Involvement with problem peers increases risk (better supported).

•Supportive communities may be protective (e.g., availability of after school programs).

Minimum legal drinking age and zero tolerance laws have reduced death and injuries due to alcohol-impaired driving. But:

*enforcement is inconsistent.

*youth have been found to be unaware of zero tolerance

laws.

*enforcement can have unintended adverse impact.

Intervening Is Complicated

Because adolescence is complicated.

Because multiple systems are involved in complex behaviors.

Because what resonates with kids changes frequently and is different for different kids.

Because we want enduring effects.
