Abstract
Unique and interactive internalizing and externalizing behavior proble ms in adolescence were examined in relationship to drug and alcohol us e in young adulthood. Results indicated that higher externalizing scor es in adolescence predicted more alcohol use in young adulthood for bo th males and females and also predicted more marijuana and hard drug u se for males. Lower internalizing scores were found to predict more ma rijuana and hard drug use in young adulthood for boys, but not for gir ls.
