尽管有证据表明压力和青少年饮酒水平之间存在很强的关联，但压力在整个青少年时期饮酒行为变化中的作用尚不清楚。本研究采用线性增长曲线分析，以探讨饮酒频率和酗酒的五波数据从社区样本的青少年谁被跟踪到年轻的成年期内的个人变化的决定因素。饮酒的预测因素包括：压力性生活事件、父母和同伴的社会支持、父母和同伴关系问题。研究结果表明，压力的生活事件和父母的支持和冲突的频率和强度的酒精使用的显着影响。虽然这些变量与年龄相关的变化与饮酒行为的变化相一致，但它们并不能解释这一时期的饮酒变化。从条件模型的结果表明，压力的影响是视年龄而定，并在高中期间证明饮酒和压力之间的强关联大大减弱，个人进入他们的青少年后期和二十出头，讨论中心的复杂动机和促进者的饮酒作为年轻人的成熟和改变环境，在青少年时期。
Despite evidence of a strong association between stress and level of drinking in adolescent populations, the role of stress in accounting for changes in drinking behavior throughout the adolescent years is unclear. This study uses a linear growth curve analysis to examine the determinants of within-individual changes in drinking frequency and binge drinking across five waves of data from a community sample of adolescents who were followed into young adulthood. Predictors of drinking include: stressful life events, parental and peer social support, and parental and peer relationship problems. Findings indicate significant effects of stressful life events and parental support and conflict on both the frequency and intensity of alcohol use. Although age-related changes in these variables coincide with changes in drinking behavior, they do not account for drinking variability over this period. Results from conditional models demonstrate that the impact of the stress is contingent on age, and that the strong associations between drinking and stress evidenced during the high school years weaken considerably as individuals move into their late teens and early twenties, Discussion centers on the complex motivations for and facilitators of drinking as young people mature and change environments over the adolescent years.
