Increasing the Age of Initiation is Key
Adolescents who begin drinking before the age of 15 are four times more likelyto develop alcohol dependence. Each additional year of delayed drinking onsetreduces the probability of alcohol dependence by 14%.1
Of youth who began drinking before age 15, 40% were classified as dependentlater in life. 2
Children who first smoke marijuana under the age of 14 are more than fivetimes as likely to abuse drugs as adults, than those who first use marijuana atage 18.3

Peer Drug Use and Lower TestScores
Kids Count StudyState of WA1Findings link lower test scores to peer substance abuse - not to individual studentuse as one might expect.
Students whose peers had little or no involvement with drinking or drugs scoredhigher onstandardized tests, while those whose peers were involved with drinkingor drugs failed to meet the requirements of the standardized tests.
On average, students whose peers avoided substance use had test scores(measured by the Washington Assessment of Student Learning reading and mathscores) that were 18 points higher for reading, and 45 points higher for math
