Genetic, personality, and environmental predictors of drug use in adolescents.

Journal of substance abuse treatment - 1 Mar 2010

Conner Bradley T, Hellemann Gerhard S, Ritchie Terry L, Noble Ernest P

Abstract excerpt

During adolescence there is a significant increase in risk-taking behavior, including experimenting with alcohol and drugs, which can lead to drug dependence. A new hypothesis regarding the genetic mechanisms that lead to drug use is tested using adolescent Caucasian children of alcoholics (57 males, 54 females; mean age = 14.5 years) data. Variables included in the study were dopaminergic genes (ANKK1 TaqI A,...
