Résumé :
This paper compares the potential for twelve psychosocial variables to act as change agents (mediators) in substance use prevention programs. A sample (N=4,412) of students in grades six through eleven were surveyed during two consecutive years of a longitudinal study. A five-factor model of psychosocial influences was used to predict subsequent alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use. Structural equation modeling revealed that a factor labeled Drug Attitudes most consistently related to decreased future use of all three substances. The four variables composing this factor were beliefs about consequences, non-native beliefs, lifestyle incongruence, and commitment. In several cases, current use mediated the relationship between a mediator factor and future use. Relationships between psychosocial factors and substance use varied little across age groups (middle school vs. high school students). Some effects were substance-specific. Implications for substance use prevention programming are discussed. (Editor's abstract.)
