This research examines the link between Cannabis Use (CU), adolescent SES, and Mental Health (MH) during the transition to adulthood. By including adolescent SES two different theories emerge fundamental cause (FCT) and stress process. Research on FCT has shown that gaps in health emerge based on differences in SES (Link and Phelan 1995). Stress process research has found that coping skills indirectly minimize poor mental health (Pearlin et al. 1981). Data comes from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. Respondents included those living in America aged 12 to 16 years old in 1997 with an oversample of blacks and Hispanics. Longitudinal fixed effects are used to determine potential causal relationships between CU and MH. Multiple linear and multinomial logistic regression are used to determine selection into CU. Longitudinal multilevel logistic regression examines if adolescent SES moderates the relationship between MH and CU. |
