Background and aims
Most studies of the association between child maltreatment and subsequent problem alcohol use are retrospective. We studied the association of prospectively substantiated child maltreatment with problem alcohol use in adulthood.
Design
We used a prospective cohort record linkage correlational design using data from a statutory child protection agency of prospectively substantiated...
Background and Aims
Studies have linked adolescent alcohol use with adverse consequences in adulthood, yet it is unclear how strong the associations are and to what extent they may be due to confounding. Our aim was to estimate the strength of association between different patterns of adolescent drinking and longer‐term psychosocial harms taking into account individual, family and peer factors.

Aims
To investigate whether: (1) child maltreatment is associated with life‐time cannabis use, early‐onset cannabis use, daily cannabis use and DSM‐IV cannabis abuse in young adulthood; and (2) behaviour problems, tobacco use and alcohol use at age 14 are associated with cannabis use.
Design
Birth cohort using linked government agency child protection data to define exposure to child maltreatment...
Background and AimsCo‐occurring mental health and alcohol problems appear to be associated with greater health burdens than either single disorder. This study compares familial and individual contributions to development of comorbid alcohol/mental problems and tests whether these differ from single disorders.
DesignWomen (n = 6703) were recruited during pregnancy to the longitudinal Mater‐University...
AimsTo determine whether violent behaviour increases during periods of methamphetamine use and whether this is due to methamphetamine‐induced psychotic symptoms.
DesignA fixed‐effects (within‐subject) analysis of four non‐contiguous 1‐month observation periods from a longitudinal prospective cohort study.
SettingSydney and Brisbane, Australia.
ParticipantsA total of 278 participants aged 16 years...
AimsThis study examines whether child maltreatment experience predicts adolescent tobacco and alcohol use.
MethodsThe subjects were participants in the Mater‐University Study of Pregnancy (MUSP), a birth cohort of 7223, of whom 5158 (71.4%) were available for analysis at the 14‐year follow‐up. Child protection history was obtained from the state's child protection agency and confidentially linked...
AimsTo examine prospectively the contribution of the recreational social environment to ecstasy initiation.
DesignPopulation‐based retrospective/prospective cohort study.
SettingData from screening an Australian young adult population to obtain samples of users and non‐users of ecstasy.
ParticipantsA sample of 204 ecstasy‐naive participants aged 19–23 years was obtained, and a 6‐month follow‐up...
AimsTo evaluate the impact of community‐based drug treatment on methamphetamine use using inverse probability of treatment‐weighted (IPTW) estimators to derive treatment effects.
DesignA longitudinal prospective cohort study with follow‐ups at 3 months, 1 year and 3 years. Treatment effects were derived by comparing groups at follow‐up. IPTW estimators were used to adjust for pre‐treatment differences...
Objective This study examines whether a mother's style of parenting at child age 5 years predicts problematic patterns of drinking in adolescence, after controlling for relevant individual, maternal and social risk factors.
Methods Data were used from the Mater‐University Study of Pregnancy, an Australian longitudinal study of mothers and their children from pregnancy to when the children were 14...
