N2  - AIMS: (1) To classify Australian adolescents according to their alcohol consumption trajectories; and (2) to assess the direct and interactive effects of perceived peer drinking (PPD) and personality on adolescent drinking. <br><br>DESIGN: Prospective cohort study comprising secondary analysis of six waves of prospective data (collected between 2014 and 2016) from the control arm of the Climate Schools Combined Study. SETTING: Nineteen schools across three Australian states. PARTICIPANTS: 1,492 socio-demographically diverse students (Mean age at baseline: 13.47; 68% female; 82% born in Australia). MEASUREMENTS: Alcohol consumption trajectories were assessed using self-reported sipping of alcohol, full standard drink consumption, binge drinking, and quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption. PPD and personality were assessed using the Substance Use Risk Profile Scale. <br><br>FINDINGS: 864 (58%) adolescents consumed alcohol across the study period. Four drinking trajectories were identified: abstaining (n = 628; reference group); onset (n = 328; initiated after baseline); persistent (n = 495; initiated prior to baseline); and decreasing (n = 41; consumed alcohol at baseline but ceased or decreased thereafter). A significant PPD by anxiety sensitivity (AS) interaction affected probability of belonging to the onset (p <.001) and persistent (p =.003) trajectories. The effect of PPD on probability of belonging to the onset trajectory was only significant when adolescents reported low (95% CI [1.464- 2.646], p <.001), but not high AS. The effect of PPD on probability of belonging to the persistent drinking trajectory was stronger at low ([2.144- 3.283], p <.001), compared with high ([1.440- 2.308], p <.001) AS. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: In Australian adolescents, self-reported drinking onset and persistent drinking appear to be more strongly associated with perceived peer drinking in those with low anxiety sensitivity than those with high anxiety sensitivity.<br><br>This article is protected by copyright.
