Whiteman S. D., Jensen A. C., Maggs J. L. (2013). Similarities in adolescent siblings’ substance use: Testing competing pathways of influence. Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, 74, 104–113. doi:10.15288/jsad.2013.74.104
This article introduces Shawn Whiteman, a professor from the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at Purdue University, and Jennifer Maggs, a professor in the College of Health and Human Development at Penn State University. This study informs us of the role of siblings in their younger brother’s and sister’s decisions to engage with substances. Furthermore, the study concludes that the substance use of younger siblings was also influenced by sharing friends with their older siblings who used substances. This article can also assist in the curation of questions surrounding behaviors that siblings may have picked up from each other. If participants are comfortable with sharing their substance use, it would also be interesting to see when and how they started these behaviors.
