本文通过描述并试图解释美国亚裔和拉丁裔青少年中共存的性行为和吸毒行为的模式，为移民身份和健康之间的联系提供了新的证据。通过对3924名亚裔和拉丁裔青年(7-12年级)的数据进行聚类分析，确定了9种性行为和吸毒行为模式，这些青年参加了国家青少年健康纵向研究(ADD Health)。用多项Logistic回归分析移民身份与危险簇成员的关系。与在外国出生的年轻人相比，在美国出生的亚裔和拉丁裔青少年更有可能从事性行为和毒品危险行为。与移民身份相关的家庭和居住特征在一定程度上解释了这一发现。结果表明，在亚裔和拉丁裔青少年中，对美国危险行为规范的同化发生得很快，并在第二代表现明显。
This paper contributes new evidence on the association between immigrant status and health by describing and attempting to explain patterns of co-occurring sex and drug use behaviors among Asian and Latino adolescents in the United States. Nine patterns of sex and drug use behaviors were identified from a cluster analysis of data from 3,924 Asian and Latino youth (grades 7–12) who participated in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). The relationship between immigrant status and risk cluster membership was evaluated with multinomial logistic regression. Compared to foreign-born youth, U.S. born Asian and Latino adolescents were more likely to engage in sex and drug risk behaviors. Family and residential characteristics associated with immigrant status partly accounted for this finding. The results indicate that among Asian and Latino adolescents, assimilation to U.S. risk behavior norms occurs rapidly and is evident by the second generation.
