Résumé : |
ENGLISH : This book focuses on transitions into young adulthood - a critically important portion of the life cycle. Here we examine key roles and experiences of young adulthood - involving a wide range of new freedoms and new responsibilities - and how they are related to changes in drug use. Our findings are based on the nationwide Monitoring the Future project, and represent the majority of individuals who entered young adulthood in the United States during the past two decades (i.e., the high-school classes of 1976 through l994). We have tracked large samples of these young people from high school onward, surveying them throughout their twenties and into their thirties; more than 33,000 of them have contributed data for the present volume. We have asked our respondents about their schooling, employment, living arrangements, marriages, pregnancies, parenthood, and even their divorces. Each of these important aspects of adulthood has been examined for possible links with the use of two licit drugs, tobacco and alcohol, and two illicit drugs, marijuana and cocaine. No survey research project, no matter how large or ambitious, could encompass all or even most of the "drug problem" in the United States. Any single study is necessarily limited in terms of the topics included, the survey methodology used, and the samples obtained. We mention limitations of the present study where relevant, and discuss them in some detail in chapter 3 and in the Appendix. We have tried to strike a balance in this book between providing too much and too little detail, but we recognize that some readers may have different preferences concerning what to analyze, what to emphasize, or both. We note, however, that some of the topics introduced in this book will be the subjects of further analyses and new reports; analysis of the Monitoring the Future data is an ongoing process.
