Abstract

Background: Childhood maltreatment (including sexual abuse, physical abuse, and neglect) is a significant risk factor for substance use and drug-related problems in adolescents and young adulthood. Objective: This study aimed to examine the associations between social support, forms of abuse experienced in childhood, and subsequent alcohol and drug use in young adulthood. Method: Data were drawn from a large-scale, nationally representative longitudinal sample of N=1,497. Hierarchical and logistic regressions were used to estimate the predictive effect of family violence, controlling for several variables such as negative life events, friends, and neighborhood influence. Findings: Emotional abuse and neglect have predicted alcohol and drug use and risk for substance use in the future. The buffering effect of social support is discussed.
