Smoking Trajectories from Adolescence to Early Adulthood as a Longitudinal Predictor of Mental Health in Adulthood: Evidence from 21 Years of Nationally Representative Cohort Addiction published online (24 November 2021): DOI: 10.1111/add.15758. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/add.15758 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Drug Use; Health, Mental/Psychological; Smoking (see Cigarette Use) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Aims: To measure the prospective relationship between smoking trajectories from adolescence to young adulthood and mental health in later adulthood and test whether this relationship was mediated by concurrent co-use of alcohol and marijuana. Design: Longitudinal study using data drawn from Round 1 to Round 18 of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), a nationally representative cohort study spanning 21 years. Measurements: Mental health in adulthood was measured using the five-item Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5; range 0-100) at Round 18. Seven trajectories of smoking from adolescence to young adulthood were identified by group-based multi-trajectory modeling, using data over 11 years from Round 1 to Round 11. Findings: Late-onset moderate smokers..., late-onset accelerated smokers..., early-onset heavy smokers..., and early-onset moderate smokers...showed poorer regression-adjusted mean MHI-5 scores in later adulthood than stable abstainers, even after controlling for baseline mental health and covariates. Whether or not a difference in MHI-5 scores was present between quitters and stable abstainers was inconclusive. The concurrent co-use of alcohol and marijuana in young adulthood significantly mediated the relationship between smoking trajectory and mental health. |
