Title of project:
Risk factors for substance use in early adolescence: Is there a protective role of organised activities?
Proposal summary:
Aims: To identify factors that are major predictors of adolescent substance use and develope propensity scores based on these risk factors. Additionally it is of interest if involvement in organised activities is related to propensity scores and adolescent substance use. Another aim is to establish if psychological theory can explain this relationship by examining whether measures of cognitive development vary by those who have a high or low score of risk.
Hypotheses: 1. Organised activities have differential effects on risky behaviour by vulnerability to risk. 2. Psychological factors underpin the relationship between organised activities and their effects on risky behaviour.
