Abstract
Twin research has demonstrated that genetic and shared environmental factors play relatively different roles in influencing the onset and development of adolescent alcohol use. This study investigates the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences on shaping different developmental trajectories of alcohol use through adolescence using prospective longitudinal data.
