""...the overall patterns of relationships reported in this book are impressive in their consistency across time and in their general similarity for men and women."" —Adolescence ""The research in this book is strong and would serve as a great example for students hoping to learn more about how to use panel data, how to break down complex models into more manageable components, and how to draw conclusions about relationships based on the analyses of cross-sectional and longitudinal data. In addition, the book also offers good information and solid substantive findings for those interested in changes in substance use over the life course....a valuable resource and is worthy of a spot on library shelves."" —Journal of Marriage and Family
