HARFORD, THOMAS C. PARKER, DOUGLAS A. Antisocial Behavior, Family History, and Alcohol Dependence Symptoms Alcoholism Clinical and Experimental Research 18,2 (April 1994): 265-268 Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 894 Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Drawing on data from the National Longitudinal Survey of young adults, this study examines the effects of antisocial behavior on alcohol dependence among young men and women in the United States. An analysis of the data from the study indicates that there are effects of antisocial behavior and that these effects cannot be attributed to a lower social class family of origin or to a positive family history of alcoholism. The analysis also indicates that the strongest effects are found among young adults with both antisocial behavior and a positive family history. HARFORD, THOMAS C. PARKER, DOUGLAS A. GRANT, BRIDGET F. Family History, Alcohol Use and Dependence Symptoms Among Young Adults in the United States Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research 16,6 (December 1992): 1042-1046 Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 895 Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Drawing upon data from the National Longitudinal Survey of young adults, this paper examines the effects of family history of alcoholism and current alcohol use by the young adults. A multivariate analysis of the data from the study indicates that there are both main and interaction effects of family history and current alcohol use on dependence symptoms among the young adults. VEAZIE, MARK A. SMITH, GORDON S. Heavy Drinking, Alcohol Dependence, and Injuries at Work among Young Workers in the United States Labor Force Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research 24,12 (December 2000): 1811-1819 Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 3627 Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Background: To determine whether heavily drinking and alcohol-dependent workers are at higher risk of occupational injury, we analyzed the nationally representative cohort of people enrolled in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth since 1979. Methods: This anlaysis was restricted to the 8569 respondents in the 1989 annual interview (age 24-32) who were employed during the 6 months before the interview. We studied occupational injuries (excluding sprains or strains) reported within 6 months of the interview in 1989 (cross-sectional analysis) and 1990 (prospective analysis). Results: Among current drinkers, significant two-fold increases in the odds of injury for one or more episodes of heavy drinking were reduced to an odds ratio (OR) of 1.2 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.7,2.1) in the cross-sectional analysis and an OR of 1.6 (CI 1.0, 2.8) in the prospective analysis after adjustment for confounding. No dose-response relationship with the frequency of heavy drinking was found. Alcohol-dpendent responsents were not at higher risk of injury in the cross-sectional (OR =1.1, CI 0.7, 1.8) or prospective (OR = 1.3, CI 0.8, 2.2) analysis after adjustment for confounding. Conclusions: For young U.S. workers, common occupational injuries (excluding sprains or strains) may not be strongly associated with alcohol dependence. Confounding by other risk factors may explain much of the association between being a heavy drinker and occupational injuries in the population. WINDLE, MICHAEL T. BLANE, HOWARD T. Cognitive Ability and Drinking Behavior in a National Sample of Young Adults Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research 13,1 (January-February 1989): 43-48 Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 2498 Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This research explored the relationship of verbal intelligence to alcohol-related problems using data from the NLSY. It was found that while lower verbal intelligence was associated with a lower risk of drinking, it was also associated, amongst those who drink, with a higher risk for alcohol-related problems.
