感觉寻求被认为是赌博和赌博问题的风险因素；然而，现有的证据表明，感觉寻求和赌博行为之间的关系是不确定的，并且缺乏关于新兴成年人和种族和少数民族的数据。在这项纵向研究中，我们探讨了波多黎各裔儿童和青少年时期感觉寻求的发展轨迹与成年早期赌博和赌博问题之间的关系。赌博数据是在2014-2018年期间从Boricua青年研究参与者的子样本中收集的，这些参与者是在纽约市南布朗克斯以及波多黎各圣胡安和卡瓜斯招募的。感觉寻求是用一种由Russo等人创建的用于5岁儿童的量表修改的10项工具来测量的。使用生长混合模型创建年龄调整感觉寻求的发展轨迹。赌博和赌博问题的评估基于加拿大青少年赌博清单（CAGI） 1.09版。数据分析采用描述性方法和多变量逻辑回归。高度寻求刺激的人在过去一年的赌博中调整后的赔率较低（OR=）。36个;95%置信区间[。14日。[92])比标准感觉寻求班的人表现得更好，而在低感觉寻求班和加速感觉寻求班的个体之间没有观察到差异。没有发现寻求刺激和过去一年的赌博问题之间的关系。鉴于早期开始赌博和赌博问题的严重后果，应该探索其他早期生活风险因素和青年和种族和少数民族人口中赌博问题高发的其他假设。
Sensation seeking has been proposed as a risk factor for gambling and gambling problems; however, existing evidence for a relationship between sensation seeking and gambling behaviors is inconclusive and data are lacking for emerging adults and racial and ethnic minorities. In this longitudinal study, we explored the association between developmental trajectories of sensation seeking in childhood and adolescence and gambling and gambling problems in early adulthood in individuals of Puerto Rican origin. Gambling data were collected during 2014–2018 from a subsample of participants in the Boricua Youth Study who were recruited in the South Bronx of New York City and in San Juan and Caguas, Puerto Rico. Sensation seeking was measured using a 10-item instrument modified from the scale created by Russo et al. for use in children as young as 5 years old. Developmental trajectories of age-adjusted sensation seeking were created using growth mixture models. Gambling and gambling problems were assessed based on the Canadian Adolescent Gambling Inventory (CAGI) Version 1.09. Data were analyzed using descriptive methods and multivariable logistic regression. Individuals in the high sensation-seeking class had lower adjusted odds of past-year gambling (OR=. 36; 95% confidence interval [. 14,. 92]) than did those in the normative sensation-seeking class, whereas no differences were observed for individuals in the low and accelerated classes. No relationship was found between sensation seeking and past-year gambling problems. Given the severe consequences of early initiation of gambling and gambling problems, other early life risk factors and alternative hypotheses for the elevated prevalence of gambling problems in young adults and racial and ethnic minority populations should be explored.
