The links between adolescent substance abuse and adult alcohol and drug misuse and dependence are now well established. The vast majority of adult substance misusers start in their adolescent years. This, and the emotive nature of adolescent substance abuse generated an increased and justifiable interest in substance abuse in adolescent populations, that began in the early 1970s. This paper reviews the most relevant recent literature relating to the subject especially that which had a longitudinal design. It covers epidemiology, antecedents, course and outcome, psychopathology, treatment and prevention. Ideas for further longitudinal research are suggested.
青少年药物滥用与成年代酒精及药物滥用和依赖之间的联系现已得到充分证实。绝大多数成年药物滥用者始于青少年时期。这一点，以及青少年药物滥用的情感本质，引发了人们对青少年群体药物滥用问题与日俱增且合理的关注，这种关注始于20世纪70年代初。本文回顾了与该主题最相关的近期文献，尤其是那些采用纵向设计的文献。内容涵盖流行病学、先兆因素、病程与转归、精神病理学、治疗与预防。文中还提出了进一步开展纵向研究的思路。
