在 163 名城市六年级、七年级和八年级学生的样本中，研究了网络地位（孤立、成员、联络）、同侪群体物质使用及其相互作用，作为吸烟、饮酒和大麻使用的预测因素。比较了同伴物质使用的两种衡量标准：一种基于社交网络分析（SNA），另一种基于对使用的看法。结果因物质而异。对于香烟，网络位置以及位置和同侪群体使用之间的相互作用预测了使用 SNA 来衡量同侪使用的模型中的使用情况。联络人最有可能吸烟，但孤立者和成员的吸烟与同伴吸烟显着相关。对于酒精，对同龄人饮酒的看法可以预测个人的饮酒情况。对于大麻来说，无论衡量标准如何，同伴群体的使用以及职位和同伴使用之间的相互作用都可以预测大麻的使用。联络员的大麻使用与同伴的大麻使用显着相关。讨论了 SNA 对于了解青少年物质使用中同伴因素的重要性。
Network position (isolate, member, liaison), peer-group substance use, and their interaction were examined as predictors of cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use in a sample of 163 urban sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. Two measures of peer substance use were compared: one based on social network analysis (SNA), the other on perceptions of use. Results varied by substance. For cigarettes, network position and the interaction between position and peer-group use predicted use in the model using SNA to measure peer use. Liaisons were most likely to smoke, but isolates' and members' smoking was significantly associated with peer smoking. For alcohol, perceptions of peer-group alcohol use predicted individual use. For marijuana, peer-group use and the interaction between position and peer use predicted use, regardless of measure. Liaisons' marijuana use was significantly associated with peer use. The importance of SNA for understanding peer factors in adolescent substance use is discussed.
