Abstract = {<h4>Background</h4>Previous theory and research suggest
links between substance use and externalizing behavior
problems, but links between substance use and internalizing
problems are less clear. The present study sought to
understand concurrent links among diagnoses of substance use
disorders, internalizing disorders, and behavior disorders
at age 18 as well as developmental trajectories of illicit
substance use prior to and after this point.<h4>Methods</h4>Using
data from 585 participants in the Child Development Project,
this study examined comorbidity among substance use,
behavior, and internalizing disorders at age 18 and
trajectories of growth in illicit substance use from age 12
to age 22.<h4>Results</h4>In this community sample, meeting
diagnostic criteria for comorbid internalizing disorders, a
behavioral disorder (conduct disorder or oppositional
defiant disorder) alone, or both internalizing and
behavioral disorders predicted higher concurrent substance
use disorders (abuse, dependence, or withdrawal). Meeting
diagnostic criteria for an anxiety disorder alone or
depression alone did not predict higher concurrent substance
use diagnoses. Over time, youths with behavioral disorders
at age 18 showed a pattern of increasing substance use
across early adolescence and higher levels of substance use
than those with no diagnosis at age 18. Substance use
declines from late adolescence to early adulthood were
observed for all groups.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Substance use
disorders were more highly comorbid with behavior disorders
than with internalizing disorders at age 18, and behavior
disorder and comorbid behavior-internalizing disorders at
age 18 were related to trajectories characterized by steep
increases in illicit substance use during adolescence and
high rates of illicit substance use over
time.},
