Abstract
DURING THE LAST 3 decades there has been growing interest and research into the use of tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis among young people. This research has focused on the prevalence of use and abuse of these substances, the risk and protective factors associated with patterns of use, and the consequences of use for other aspects of health and personal adjustment. One component of this research has focused on the issue of the extent to which subjective and physiological reactions to substances are prognostic of longer-term, heavy problem, or dependent use (for reviews see references 1 through 3).Keywords
