In addition, clear differences between the predictor profiles confirmed that, compared to the abstainers and late onset groups,
the early onset substance use group appeared to be at much higher risk for adverse childhood predictors (revealing a problematic profile), including lower levels of parental knowledge about adolescents» activities and self - esteem and higher levels of novelty seeking and conduct disorder (Flory et al. 2004; Wanner et al. 2006).

The relationship between

onset of initial
substance use and engaging in multiple health risk behaviors among young adolescents
Alcohol expectancies play an important role in adolescent
substance use: positive alcohol expectancies are quite common in this age group, and are linked to
earlier onset and problematic drinking.21, 22 Thus, this lesson focuses on personal expectancies, risks and norms associated with (hazardous) alcohol use.
This is unfortunate, considering that
early onset is one of the strongest identified risk factors for
substance use problems in later life (Breslau et al. 1993; Chen et al. 2005; De Wit et al. 2000) and these personality predispositions may play a particularly important role in explaining risk behavior and receptivity for
substance use during the period of adolescence (e.g., Carver et al. 2009; Malmberg et al. 2010b).
Although the SURPS personality dimensions demonstrated their usefulness in samples that already were using
substances (Conrod et al. 1998; Jackson and Sher 2003; Pulkkinen and Pitkänen 1994; Shall et al. 1992; Sher et al. 2000; Stewart et al. 1995), little attention has been paid to the role of these personality dimensions with regard to the
