style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Started in 1985 by David Hawkins and
<st1:PersonName w:st="on">Richard Catalano</st1:PersonName>, SSDP has focused on
understanding childhood, adolescent and young adult risk and protective factors
predictive of substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, delinquency, crime, and
related health and behavior problems; on understanding the consequences of
adolescent and adult drug use; and on the short and long term effects of
preventive intervention in the elementary grades on achievement, bonding,
violence, drug use, risky sexual behavior, sexually transmitted disease, and
other outcomes. SSDP is a gender balanced, community-based sample
over-representing youths from high-crime neighborhoods. The study includes
DSM-IV diagnoses as well as other categorical and quantitative measures of
substance abuse and related phenotypes of demonstrated heritability. The project
is expanding the assessment battery to include DNA to investigate how
gene-environment interplay influences the development of tobacco and alcohol
dependence and related risk behavior from early adolescence through
mid-adulthood. SSDP investigators are joined by members of the Institute for
Behavioral Genetics (<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Colorado</st1:PlaceName>, <st1:City
