From the Paper:

"Between the ages of 18-23, young adults go through what could arguably be defined as the most significant changes in their adult lives. It is an era in which high school is completed, and adult life begins. That life may include college, trade school, entering the job market, getting married and having children. Unfortunately, that life could also include drug use, underachievement, depression and lack of motivation as well. It is during this five year window that that the pattern is set to will govern the rest of that person's life. While it is possible to change behaviors and outcomes at any age, the first five years of being launched into the adult world can be crucial to setting one up for success."
