The Lasting Effects of Marijuana Use on Educational Attainment in Midlife Substance Use and Misuse 45,4 (March 2010): 554-597. Also: http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.3109/10826080802490238 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Marcel Dekker Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Drug Use; Educational Attainment; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Data from the NLSY79, a U.S. nationally representative longitudinal survey of labor market behavior, sponsored and directed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor, was used to assess the influence of marijuana use on educational attainment (N = 7,724). Multivariate nested OLS models assessed the associations of marijuana use in 1979, 1984, and 1998 with educational attainment in 2002. Adolescent, frequent, and persistent users experienced lower attainment at ages 37 to 45 than nonusers even when use was confined to adolescence. Implications of the findings, limitations of the study, and suggestions for future research are discussed. |
