面对发展的任务和挑战与弥合两种不同的文化，亚裔美国少女面临越来越多的风险使用药物。确定这一人群的风险和保护因素至关重要，特别是当这些因素可以为预防计划提供信息时。在家庭互动理论的指导下，本横断面研究探讨了心理和家庭因素与青少年早期亚裔美国女孩使用酒精，处方药和其他药物的关联。在2007年8月至2008年3月期间，从19个有大量亚裔人口的州招募了135对亚裔美国女孩（平均年龄13.21岁，SD = 0.90）和她们的母亲（平均年龄39.86岁，SD = 6.99）。女孩和母亲各自完成了一项在线调查。相对于女孩谁不使用物质，女孩谁做了抑郁症状，感知同伴物质使用和母亲物质使用的水平较高。多元逻辑回归模型显示，他们的身体满意度，解决问题的能力，父母的监督，母女沟通，家庭参与和家庭规则的物质使用水平也显着较低。家庭组成、文化适应和学业成绩与女孩的物质使用无关。这些发现为亚裔美国女孩的药物滥用预防规划指明了方向。
Confronting developmental tasks and challenges associated with bridging two different cultures, Asian American adolescent girls face increasing risks for substance use. Identifying risk and protective factors in this population is essential, particularly when those factors can inform preventive programs. Guided by family interaction theory, the present cross-sectional study explored the associations of psychological and familial factors with use of alcohol, prescription drugs, and other drugs among early-adolescent Asian American girls. Between August 2007 and March 2008, 135 pairs of Asian American girls (mean age 13.21 years, SD = 0.90) and their mothers (mean age 39.86 years, SD = 6.99) were recruited from 19 states that had significant Asian populations. Girls and mothers each completed an online survey. Relative to girls who did not use substances, girls who did had higher levels of depressive symptoms, perceived peer substance use, and maternal substance use. Multiple logistic regression modeling revealed that they also had significantly lower levels of body satisfaction, problem-solving ability, parental monitoring, mother-daughter communication, family involvement, and family rules about substance use. Household composition, acculturation, and academic achievement were not associated with girls’ substance use. These findings point to directions for substance abuse prevention programming among Asian American girls.
