With the nationally representative samples of school-attending youths from Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic (the PACARDO project), this study provides cross-national evidence of adolescent drug involvement in the context of behavioral repertoire. Overall, about one in two, and one in three adolescents in the study have had using alcohol, and tobacco, respectively. An estimated 10% of the adolescents in the region had tried any illegal drug at least once, including marijuana, inhalants, methamphetamine, crack cocaine, heroin, and MDMA (ecstasy). Some notable between-country variations in these estimates were observed. For example, the cumulative occurrence of alcohol use was found the highest in the Dominican Republic (∼80%). However, for the cumulative occurrence of tobacco and marijuana smoking, the highest rate was found in Costa Rica (47% and 9%, respectively). With incorporation of the Behavioral Repertoire Self-Rating scale (BRSR), developed by Johanson et al. (1996), five primary facets of behavioral repertoire have been identified in this research on Latin American adolescents: religious-, socializing-, sport-, home-based-, and traditional female-role activities. Adolescents with a greater breadth of behavioral repertoire in general were more likely to have had a recent-onset first chance to try drugs, and a recent-onset first use of drugs. The relationship between the breath of behavioral repertoire and drug involvement was found to vary by the feature of behavioral repertoire. There is an inverse association between the levels of religious behavioral repertoire and the occurrence of adolescent drug experiences, mainly seen in relation to first chances to try tobacco, and marijuana, and first use of these two drugs (aORs = 0.6∼0.8). The links between the adolescent religious behavioral repertoire and alcohol experiences are weaker and are not statistically independent of other observed associations. The inverse relationship between religious behavioral repertoire with the first chance to try alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana was varied across subgroups defined by levels of religious devotion. There is a prominent positive association between the levels of the adolescent socializing behavioral repertoire and the occurrence of adolescent drug experiences, not only with respect to tobacco and marijuana, but also with respect to alcohol (aORs = 2∼5). The links between adolescent socializing behavioral repertoire and the occurrence of drug involvement are not altered even when levels of affiliation with deviant peers, conduct problems, social withdrawal, and school maladjustment were taken into account. Notwithstanding several important limitations, this present study shows that the adolescent behavioral repertoire may have an important role in early transitions that ultimately may lead to drug problems. As noted above, prospective research with longitudinal, population-based data conveying at least three points of measurement might be needed to disentangle the reciprocity between behavioral repertoire and drug involvement. In addition, the incorporation of personal attributes (e.g., personality traits), macro-contextual factors (e.g., country or societal composition of religious denomination), and micro-system process factors (i.e., deviant peer affiliation, family drug use) will also be helpful to discern their possible mediation and moderation effects on the relationships between behavioral repertoire and adolescent drug involvement.
