  • Pretest measures of substance use and social influence were used to predict posttest use.

    • Main Results:

    • Active (offers) and passive (modeling, overestimation) social pressure uniquely predicted alcohol use.
    • Similar unique predictive effects were found for cigarette smoking.
    • The social influence model demonstrated generalizability across genders and prior user status.

    Conclusions:

    • Differentiating active and passive social influence provides a more nuanced understanding of adolescent substance use.
    • Intervention programs can be refined by targeting specific types of social influence.
    • The findings support the broad applicability of the proposed social influence framework.
