目的：本研究考察了种族对社区样本中白人、黑人和西班牙裔青年酒精使用行为影响因素的影响（N = 323）。行为问题、积极的酒精预期和社会经济地位有望调节消极情感和父亲物质依赖史对开始定期饮酒的年龄和饮酒频率的影响。方法：14-21岁的受试者（57.9%为女性，60.7%为白人）与父亲在基线（时间1）时进行访谈，5年后再进行访谈（时间2）。使用结构方程模型来检验预测饮酒行为的偏差倾向模型，并评估不同种族模型路径的差异。结果：种族群体成员调节了与开始定期饮酒有关的中介途径，但与饮酒频率无关。儿童行为问题数量的增加预示着黑人开始定期饮酒的年龄更早，而更积极的酒精预期与白人和西班牙裔人更早开始定期饮酒有关。结论：本研究的结果提供了证据，表明青少年和年轻人饮酒的危险因素因种族而异。(j .螺栓。酒精药物70:337-345,2009)
Objective: This study examined the influence of ethnicity on factors affecting alcohol-use behaviors in a community sample of white, black, and Hispanic youth (N = 323). Conduct problems, positive alcohol expectancies, and socioeconomic status were expected to mediate the effect of negative affectivity and a paternal history of substance dependence on the age at onset of regular drinking and the frequency of drinking. Method: Subjects ages 14-21 (57.9% female; 60.7% white) were interviewed along with their fathers at baseline (Time 1), and subjects only were interviewed again 5 years later (Time 2). A structural equation model was used to test a deviance proneness model for predicting drinking behaviors and to evaluate differences on model paths by ethnicity. Results: Ethnic group membership moderated mediational pathways linked to the onset of regular alcohol use but not to drinking frequency An increase in the number of childhood conduct problems predicted an earlier age at onset of regular drinking for blacks, whereas more positive alcohol expectancies were associated with an earlier initiation of regular drinking for whites and Hispanics. Conclusions: Findings from this Study provide evidence that risk factors for alcohol use in adolescents and young adults vary according to ethnic group. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs 70: 337-345, 2009)
