本研究采用潜在增长模型方法，研究了青少年饮酒、吸烟和大麻使用与危险性行为之间的关系。还研究了物质使用和危险性行为之间的发展和关系的性别差异。参与者是257名青少年（平均年龄= 15.96岁），在18个月的时间内在三个时间点进行评估。大麻与香烟和酒精的截获量，以及这三种物质与危险性行为的截获量均显著相关。这三种物质的发展表现出相似的模式，吸烟的发展与危险性行为的发展存在协变。在这些关系中，男孩和女孩没有显着差异。结果进行了讨论，需要更好地了解非性和性相关的问题行为，并在青春期检查这些行为的发展和变化的分析。
This study examined associations between the development of adolescent alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use and risky sexual behavior over time, using latent growth modeling methodology. Gender differences in the development and relationships between use of substances and risky sexual behavior were also examined. Participants were 257 adolescents (mean age = 15.96 years) assessed at three time points over an 18-month period. The intercepts of marijuana with cigarettes and alcohol, and all three substances with risky sexual behavior were significantly related. Development of the three substances showed similar patterns and development of cigarette use covaried with development of risky sexual behavior There were no significant differences for boys and girls in these relationships. Results are discussed in relation to the need for greater understanding of nonsexual and sex-related problem behaviors and for analyses examining development and change in these behaviors during adolescence.
