Abstract: Researchers only recently have begun to examine the environmental and contextual factors that influence adolescent drinking
behavior. The objective of this study was to create and test a comprehensive model of adolescent problem drinking. Items from
the National Education Longitudinal Study: 1988-1994 (NELS:88; National Center for Educational Statistics, 1996) were used to
create measurement modeis for a.1I latent variables in the hypothesized structural model. Results indicated that high levels of
parental support and a positive school climate in the 8th grade influence the formation of relationships with peers with positive
values in the 10th grade that guarded against problem-drinking behavior in the 10th grads.
