青春期是预防物质使用开始的关键发育时期，但是仅提供有关物质使用危险的教育信息的预防计划很少改变青少年物质使用行为。最近的研究表明，瑜伽等身心练习可能对多种药物使用风险因素产生有益影响，并且这些练习可能作为预防青少年药物使用的有前途的干预措施。本研究的主要目的是测试瑜伽在减少青春期早期物质使用危险因素方面的功效。一所公立学校的七年级学生被随机分配到教室，要么接受 32 节瑜伽干预（n = 117）来代替常规体育课，要么继续照常进行体育教育（n = 94）。参与者（63.2% 女性；53.6% 白人）完成了干预前后的问卷调查，评估情绪自我调节、感知压力、情绪障碍、冲动、物质使用意愿和实际物质使用。参与者还在干预后 6 个月和 1 年完成了问卷调查。结果显示，与瑜伽条件下的参与者相比，控制条件下的参与者在干预后更愿意立即尝试吸烟。其余结果并未出现干预前后的差异。然而，长期跟踪分析揭示了一种延迟效应模式，即处于瑜伽状态的女性和处于控制状态的男性在情绪自我控制方面表现出改善。研究结果表明，以学校为基础的瑜伽可能对防止男性和女性吸烟的意愿以及改善女性的情绪自我控制产生有益的影响。然而，还需要进行更多的研究，特别是关于学校环境中身心干预的潜在长期影响。本研究通过考察学校瑜伽作为物质使用风险因素的新型预防计划，为青春期文献做出了贡献。
Adolescence is a key developmental period for preventing substance use initiation, however prevention programs solely providing educational information about the dangers of substance use rarely change adolescent substance use behaviors. Recent research suggests that mind–body practices such as yoga may have beneficial effects on several substance use risk factors, and that these practices may serve as promising interventions for preventing adolescent substance use. The primary aim of the present study was to test the efficacy of yoga for reducing substance use risk factors during early adolescence. Seventh-grade students in a public school were randomly assigned by classroom to receive either a 32-session yoga intervention (n = 117) in place of their regular physical education classes or to continue with physical-education-as-usual (n = 94). Participants (63.2 % female; 53.6 % White) completed pre- and post-intervention questionnaires assessing emotional self-regulation, perceived stress, mood impairment, impulsivity, substance use willingness, and actual substance use. Participants also completed questionnaires at 6-months and 1-year post-intervention. Results revealed that participants in the control condition were significantly more willing to try smoking cigarettes immediately post-intervention than participants in the yoga condition. Immediate pre- to post-intervention differences did not emerge for the remaining outcomes. However, long-term follow-up analyses revealed a pattern of delayed effects in which females in the yoga condition, and males in the control condition, demonstrated improvements in emotional self-control. The findings suggest that school-based yoga may have beneficial effects with regard to preventing males' and females' willingness to smoke cigarettes, as well as improving emotional self-control in females. However additional research is required, particularly with regard to the potential long-term effects of mind–body interventions in school settings. The present study contributes to the literature on adolescence by examining school-based yoga as a novel prevention program for substance use risk factors.
