酗酒和使用其他毒品在南非城郊青少年中很普遍。我们确定了约翰内斯堡城郊青少年（年龄= 16-18岁; N = 822）中酒精和其他药物使用的性别相关性。访谈者管理的调查评估性活动，酒精和其他药物的使用，以及相关的心理社会因素。在按性别分层的酒精和其他药物使用的单独逻辑回归模型中，暴力暴露和性活动与男性和女性的酒精使用相关。只有女性的抑郁症状与吸毒有关。仅就男性而言，年龄较大和性活跃与吸毒有关。南非青少年的药物使用干预措施应考虑心理健康，性健康和按性别定制。
Alcohol and other drug use is prevalent among peri-urban, South African adolescents. We identified correlates of alcohol and other drug use by gender among adolescents (age = 16–18 years; N = 822) in peri-urban Johannesburg. Interviewer-administered surveys assessed sexual activity, alcohol and other drug use, and relevant psychosocial factors. In separate logistic regression models of alcohol and other drug use stratified by gender, violence exposure and sexual activity were associated with alcohol use for both males and females. For females only, depressive symptoms were associated with drug use. For males only, being older and sexually active were associated with drug use. Substance use interventions for South African adolescents should consider psychological health, sexual health, and tailoring by gender.
