由生命历程的角度来看，本研究测试了级联模型连接苛刻的，反应迟钝的父母在童年时期的年轻非洲裔美国男子的药物滥用通过早熟的过渡，经济不稳定，和未来的方向。社区劣势和浪漫伴侣的支持上的假设路径的调节作用也进行了研究。在基线时，样本包括来自高度贫困农村社区的505名年龄在19岁至22岁之间的非洲裔美国男性。在基线后18个月收集随访数据。使用结构方程模型，我们确定了苛刻，反应迟钝的父母影响青春期早熟的过渡，这反过来又增加了年轻人的经济不稳定性。经济不稳定与未来方向的减少有关，这对药物滥用的增加产生了近端影响。此外，居住在弱势社区放大了过早转型对经济不稳定的影响以及经济不稳定对未来方向的影响。参与支持性的浪漫伙伴关系表现出保护作用，削弱了早熟的过渡对经济不稳定的影响和经济不稳定对未来方向的影响。这项研究通过展示将药物滥用与儿童期、青春期和青年期的发展因素联系起来的风险和保护过程，扩大了对年轻人药物滥用的理解。
Informed by a life course perspective, this study tested a cascade model linking harsh, unresponsive parenting during childhood to young African American men's substance abuse via precocious transitions, economic instability, and future orientation. The moderating influence of community disadvantage and romantic partner support on the hypothesized pathways was also examined. At the baseline, the sample included 505 African American men between ages 19 and 22years from high-poverty rural communities. Follow-up data were collected 18months after baseline. Using structural equationmodeling, we identified harsh, unresponsive parenting influenced precocious transitions in adolescence, which in turn increased economic instability during young adulthood. Economic instability was associated with a reduction in future orientation, a proximal influence on increases in substance abuse. Also, residence in a disadvantaged community amplified the influence of precocious transitions on economic instability and the influence of economic instability on future orientation. Involvement with supportive romantic partnership evinced a protective effect, attenuating the influence of precocious transitions on economic instability and the influence of economic instability on a future orientation. This study expands understanding of young adults' substance abuse by demonstrating the risk and protective processes linkingsubstance abuse to developmental factors across childhood,adolescence, and young adulthood.
