2. Honors Thesis: "The Effects of External Psychopathological Behaviors and Adolescents' Future Orientation on Adolescent Substance Use Trajectories 

 • The objective of this honors thesis is for me to delve more deeply into the time course for adolescent substance use. More specifically, I anticipate looking at whether and what externalizing psychopathological symptoms and psychosocial variables influence persisting/increased, resisting, or minimal/low substance use and risk behavior among adolescents who have different trajectories or patterns of use across adolescence and emerging adulthood.
