使用一系列的多元回归程序，本研究探讨了解释方差的物质使用指数的几个操作变量，已被认为是在最近的物质干预和预防计划的战略贡献。从本质上讲，该研究旨在确定是否有根据各种青少年亚群类别（年龄，性别和社会经济地位）进行治疗计划分层的基础。这项对3759名青少年的研究结果表明，虽然人口统计学特征在预测这些青少年的物质参与方面通常很重要，但几乎没有理由制定旨在影响他们的单独计划。除了年轻的青少年谁显示的模式不同于所有其他人，亚组类别似乎歧视小的相对贡献的操作变量（自我形象，父母关系，团体成员和宗教信仰）向解释物质的使用。
Using a series of multiple regression procedures this study explores the contribution toward explained variance of a substance usage index for several operational variables that have been considered in recent substance intervention and prevention program strategies. Essentially, the study seeks to determine whether or not there is a basis for treatment program stratification according to various adolescent subpopulation categories (age, sex and socioeconomic status). Findings from this study of 3759 adolescents reveal that while demographic features are generally important in predicting substance involvement among these youngsters, there is little to argue for development of separate programs designed to affect them. Except for younger adolescents who display a pattern different from all others, subgroup categories appear to discriminate little among the relative contributions of the operational variables (self image, parental relations, group membership and religiosity) toward explaining substance usage.
