Teens' Love of Loud Music Tied to Drinking, Drug Abuse
Date:5/21/2012

hose who listened to levels of music on MP3 players that the researchers considered risky -- about 30 percent of those who replied to the survey -- were more likely to smoke pot.

Why? The study authors have a theory: "The combination of cannabis use and risky MP3-player listening could be related to the existential period in life that constitutes adolescence and emerging adulthood, not only because of the positive feeling to be alive and the experience of existential meaning, but also as something that can fill existential emptiness."

Those who listened to loud music at concerts and clubs -- about 48 percent of the total -- were more likely to binge drink and inconsistently use condoms during intercourse.

Overall, a third said they smoked, a third said they'd engaged in binge drinking within the past month, 13 percent said they'd recently smoked pot and about 38 percent said they hadn't always used condoms during sex.

Study co-author Alex Burdorf, a professor of determinants of population health at Erasmus MC University Medical Center Rotterdam, said the findings offer insight into how the things that young people do are interconnected. "From a prevention point of view, we would focus on general strategies on how to cope with temptations and try to teach these risk groups how to achieve this," Burdorf said.

The study appears in the June issue of the journal Pediatrics.
