Adolescence and emerging childhood forms an increasing proportion of the lifespan of urbanized individuals. Glycaemic control worsens during adolescence; physiology and psychology contribute. A1C levels peak around 9% (75 mmol/mol) before declining from late teens onwards. However, unchanging glycaemia (tracking) is common. Glycaemia has generally improved in the past 10–15 years, but significant differences between and within countries persist. Microvascular complications are prevalent at this stage, but have probably also decreased with time. During this important period, the stage can be set for premature macrovascular disease (early onset hypertension, arterial stiffening, dyslipidaemia, and smoking). Exercise reduces the risk of microvascular complications. Smoking is as common in young Type 1 patients than in the general population. Efforts at smoking cessation need reinforcing. Glycaemic control during university does not improve. Transition from paediatric to adult diabetes services is often unsatisfactory; clinics should implement simple procedures focusing on accessibility, flexibility, and improved communications.

Identity Exploration

Transition-to-adulthood themes, or thoughts and feelings about emerging adulthood, have been measured by the Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood (IDEA) and found to be associated with substance use among emerging adults. It has been suggested, however, that the IDEA is lengthy and may not include the most unique and theoretically relevant constructs of emerging adulthood. The Revised Inventory of the Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood (IDEA-R) was developed as an alternative instrument, but research has yet to determine the relationship between the IDEA-R and substance use among emerging adults (ages 18–25 years). College students completed surveys indicating their identification with transition-to-adulthood themes and substance use. Logistic regression models examined the associations between transition-to-adulthood themes and marijuana use and binge drinking, respectively. Participants who felt emerging adulthood was a time of identity exploration were less likely to report marijuana use, while feelings of experimentation/possibility were positively associated with marijuana use and binge drinking. The IDEA-R may be useful for identifying correlates of substance use among emerging adults. Future research should evaluate the IDEA-R among representative samples of emerging adults to confirm the findings of this study. Health professionals working in substance use prevention may consider targeting the themes of identity exploration and experimentation/possibility in programs intended for emerging adults.

Poor Outcomes

Over the past several years, there has been growing interest in identifying distinct developmental trajectories of substance use. Using data from the RAND Adolescent/Young Adult Panel Study (N = 6,527), we synthesize our prior findings on patterns of smoking, binge drinking, and marijuana use from early adolescence (age 13) to emerging adulthood (age 23). We also present new data on how these trajectory classes compare on key psychosocial and behavioral outcomes during emerging adulthood. For each type of substance use, we found two periods of vulnerability: early adolescence and the transition to emerging adulthood. As expected, early users were at relatively high risk for poor outcomes at age 23 compared to consistent low-level users and abstainers, even if they reduced their use during adolescence. However, youths who were not early users, but steadily increased their use over time, also tended to be at relatively high risk. Results suggest that multiple prevention approaches might be needed to successfully reach at-risk youths.
