%X Using data from a cohort study of students at risk for high school dropout, we examined associations between violence exposure and past 30-day alcohol and marijuana use. We used varying-coefficient regression with person-level fixed effects to estimate how those associations changed within-person across ages approximately 14-23. Generally, violence perpetration was most strongly associated with substance use, within-person. Substance use became increasingly associated with both observed violence and violence perpetration during early/middle adolescence; this increase continued longer into development (age 18+) for alcohol use. Across most of the age range studied here, violence victimization was minimally associated with within-person changes in substance use. <br><br>RESULTS indicate age-specific associations between violence exposure and alcohol and other drug use, which may be useful for informing prevention strategies.<br><br>© 2018 Society for Research on Adolescence.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
