Abstract
This study examined trajectories of alcohol-related problems among adolescents transitioning into young adulthood. Predictors of trajectory class included demographics, psychosocial, and other substance use factors. Although prior studies have examined trajectories of alcohol use frequency, studying associated problems helps identify youth who may be more at risk for negative outcomes.
