OBJECTIVE This study sought to examine the prospective effects of early adolescent marijuana use on late adolescent attentional and inhibitory control. Alcohol use, antisocial problems, and gender were included as statistical control variables. METHOD The community sample of 387 adolescents and a caregiver was drawn from a longitudinal study of adolescent substance use that included nine annual assessments. Adolescents were eligible if they were between ages 11 and 12 at recruitment and did not have any disabilities that would preclude them from either understanding or completing the assessment. The sample was evenly split on gender (55% female) and was predominantly non-Hispanic White (83.16%) or African American (9.07%). Attentional and inhibitory control were assessed using parent and adolescent self-reports on the Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised and the Adult Temperament Questionnaire. RESULTS Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. High levels of early marijuana use at ages 12-14 significantly predicted low levels of adolescent attentional control at ages 18-21 (β = -.20, p < .05), above and beyond early attentional control, early alcohol use, and antisocial problems. CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest that marijuana use may adversely affect cognitive development, especially during the sensitive period of early adolescence. Results emphasize the need for further prospective work to investigate relationships between early adolescent marijuana use and the development of executive functioning.

青春期早期使用大麻对注意和抑制控制的长期影响

目的本研究旨在探讨青少年早期使用大麻对青少年晚期注意和抑制控制的前瞻性影响。饮酒,反社会问题和性别均列为统计控制变量。方法387名青少年和照顾者的社区样本来自对青少年药物使用的纵向研究,其中包括9项年度评估。如果青少年在招募时年龄在11至12岁之间,并且没有任何妨碍他们理解或完成评估的残疾,则符合资格。样本按性别平均分配(女性55%),主要为非西班牙裔白人(83.16%)或非裔美国人(9.07%)。使用修订后的《青少年气质问卷》和《成人气质问卷》的父母和青少年自我报告评估注意和抑制控制。结果使用结构方程模型对假设进行了测试。在12至14岁时大量使用早期大麻显着预测了在18至21岁时青少年的注意力控制水平较低(β= -.20,p <.05),超过了早期注意力控制,早期饮酒和反社会问题。结论研究结果表明,使用大麻可能会对认知发展产生不利影响,尤其是在青春期早期的敏感时期。结果强调有必要开展进一步的前瞻性工作,以调查青春期早期大麻使用与执行功能发展之间的关系。
