    • Understanding contributing factors is crucial for intervention strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and synthesize existing literature on adolescent marijuana use.
    • To identify demographic, familial, and psychosocial correlates of use.
    • To examine behavioral outcomes associated with adolescent marijuana consumption.

  • Review of personality traits and behavioral outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Marijuana use prevalence is low in elementary schools, variable in high schools, and generally increases with age.
    • Female use is increasing at a higher rate than male use.
    • Parental permissiveness shows mixed support, but lower warmth/support and higher parental drug use are noted.
    • Peer and sibling use are strong predictors; personality traits include alienation, external locus of control, and higher anxiety.
    • Associated behaviors include increased alcohol/drug use and poorer school performance.

    Conclusions:

    • Adolescent marijuana use is influenced by a complex interplay of age, peer behavior, family dynamics, and socioeconomic factors.
    • Personality traits and attitudes toward marijuana are associated with use.
    • The findings highlight the need for comprehensive prevention and intervention programs targeting adolescents.
