| 영문 초록 | I. INTRODUCTION High rates of substance use have been reported among adolescents or at risk for exposure in Korea and other OECD countries. The prevalence of alcohol drink during adolescence was 68.8% for boys and 58.1% each (Ministry of Gender Equality & Family, 2013:195), whereas estimated at 78.2% in the US (Swendsen et al, 2012). In a case of US, by late adolescence, it is reported that the opportunity to use illicit drugs was reported by 81.4% of the oldest adolescents, drug use by 42.5%, and drug abuse by 16.4%. Although it is not the case of Korea yet, exposure to alcohol increases the risk of using illicit drugs and consequent delinquent behaviors. Many studies have examined the short and long-term effects on developmental and behavioral outcomes of varying levels of adolescent exposure to alcohol. Studies have shown that adolescent alcohol consumption was significantly related to mental health disturbances and delinquent behaviors, almost doubled risk of those problems (Shoal et al., 2007; Paus et al., 2008; Johnston et al., 2009; Trucco et al., 2011). Important to consider is the relationship between the substance use and neuro-psychological development of young people. The relationship of adolescent substance use and physical development of them can be seen in cognitive disturbance such as IQ growth retardation (Spear, 2000, 2002; Galvan et al., 2007Clark et al., 2008; Bava & Tapert, 2010), rendering youth more vulnerable to risky behaviors such as seeking and risky choices during this phase of life, Adolescents’ proclivity toward risk-taking behavior and susceptibility to poor decision-making may be related to unique neural characteristics that increase their sensitivity to rewarding outcomes (Somerville et al., 2010; Van Leijenhorst et al., 2010). At young ages, thus, behavioral problems are also more apparent when exposed to substance misuse. alcohol consumption and comorbid marijuana use are common among adolescents, and are associated with neural consequences. The increased prevalence of substance use among adolescents suggests how to vest intervene which exposed adolescents to maximize development remains an important question. For example, it may be that better supervision skills (Ryan et al. 2010) or enrolling at risk adolescents in enrichment programs may mitigate the negative effects of exposure to substance use in this population. If it is possible, early interventions may a best option in buffering the negative outcomes associated with exposure to substance muse such as alcohol. |
