目标。我们在低收入的市中心人群中研究了青少年饮酒和吸毒与9项青少年资产之间的关系。一项针对1350名青少年和家长的面对面调查评估了青少年的资产和危险行为。数据分析采用卡方检验和Logistic回归分析。当我们控制适当的变量时，几个年轻人的资产与不使用酒精和毒品之间存在显著的正相关关系。此外，与拥有较少青年资产的青年相比，拥有全部统计意义的青年资产的青年报告不使用酒精的可能性是4.44倍，报告不使用毒品的可能性是5.41倍。我们的研究支持这样一种观点，即特定的青年资产可能会保护青年免于酗酒和吸毒。
Objectives. We examined the association between adolescent alcohol and drug use and 9 youth assets in a low-income, inner-city population.Methods. An in-person survey of 1350 adolescents and parents assessed youth assets and risk behaviors. We analyzed data with chi(2) tests and logistic regression analyses.Results. When we controlled for appropriate variables, there were significant positive relationships between several youth assets and nonuse of alcohol and drugs. Furthermore, youths who possessed all of the statistically significant youth assets were 4.44 times more likely to report nonuse of alcohol and 5.41 times more likely to report nonuse of drugs compared with youths who possessed fewer youth assets.Conclusions. Our study supports the view that specific youth assets may protect youths from alcohol and drug use.
