目的：这项研究的目的是研究当代大麻使用模式和态度随时间的变化。鉴于各州大麻立法的变化，我们有理由相信，从2010年到2016年，高中生使用大麻的行为和态度的模式已经发生了变化。方法：数据来自2010-2016年间监测未来浪潮的高中生，这是一项具有全国代表性的横断面调查。潜在类别分析被用来确定大麻使用的潜在模式和相关态度。结果：确定了5个潜在类别：不耐受非吸毒者(49%)、容忍非吸毒者(12%)、不赞成吸毒者(7%)、实验者(6%)和大麻爱好者(26%)。从2010年到2013年，阶级流行率保持相对稳定；从2014年开始，不耐受的非吸毒者的流行率显著下降，而耐受的非吸食者和大麻爱好者的流行率显著上升。男性始终更有可能成为大麻爱好者阶层的成员；西班牙裔和黑人青少年更有可能成为不赞成大麻的人。结论：当代大麻使用模式和态度随着时间的推移保持一致，然而，阶层流行率在2014年出现了显著变化。研究结果还表明，相当一部分青少年将受益于针对大麻使用和态度的预防和干预努力。(C)2018年青少年健康与医学学会。版权所有。
Purpose: The goal of this study was to examine changes in contemporary patterns of marijuana use and attitudes over time. Given shifts in state-by-state marijuana legislation, there is a reason to believe that the patterns of high school seniors' marijuana use behavior and attitudes about use have changed from 2010 to 2016.Methods: Data are from high school seniors in the 2010-2016 waves of Monitoring the Future, a nationally representative, cross-sectional survey in the United States. Latent class analysis was used to determine underlying patterns of marijuana use and related attitudes. Differences in latent class membership were examined across years, and gender and race/ethnicity were also examined.Results: Five latent classes were identified: Intolerant Nonusers (49% of the sample), Tolerant Nonusers (12%), Disapproving Users (7%), Experimenters (6%), and Marijuana Enthusiasts (26%). Class prevalences remained relatively stable from 2010 to 2013; beginning in 2014 a significant decrease in prevalence was observed for Intolerant Nonusers and significant increases in prevalence were observed for Tolerant Nonusers and Marijuana Enthusiasts. Membership in the Marijuana Enthusiasts class was consistently more likely for males; Hispanic and black adolescents were more likely to be Disapproving Users.Conclusions: Contemporary patterns of marijuana use and attitudes have remained consistent over time, however, significant shifts in class prevalence emerged in 2014. Findings also suggest that a substantial subgroup of adolescents would benefit from prevention and intervention efforts targeting marijuana use and attitudes.
