with illegal
drug use.26 — 28 Although these studies provide evidence that most substance abusers come from abusive homes, many of these studies have taken a «categorical» approach to examine the relationship between 1 or 2 forms of these childhood exposures and subsequent
drug abuse; few studies have examined
illicit drug use and abuse in relation to multiple disturbing or stressful childhood exposures.

with behaviors inherent among this age group, 19 — 21 all may contribute to the especially strong graded relationship that we found in this age group.

with externalizing behavior problems (e.g., Timmermans et al. 2008).
