目的测试美国年轻人婚姻期间各种形式的物质使用与随后离婚之间的关系。设计三波的调查数据收集在大约18岁，23岁和29岁。使用多变量逻辑回归和控制的因素存在于两个早期波，我们测试了物质使用在第二次评估和离婚的第三次之间的前瞻性关系。参与者一个纵向小组以下的青少年在美国西海岸进入青年成年。分析子样本包括454名目前在23岁时结婚的人。测量预测因素是过去一年酒精中毒、大麻使用和香烟使用的频率，以及过去一年中任何硬性毒品的使用。协变量包括婚前使用药物、人口统计学和社会经济因素、婚姻不和和宗教信仰。结果控制其他因素，更频繁的酒精中毒在婚姻中是一个独立的预测后来离婚。使用大麻的频率与离婚有显著的双变量关系，但在多变量模型中并不显著。结论这些数据与酒精中毒与年轻人离婚有因果关系的观点一致。
Aim To test the relationships between various forms of substance use during marriage and subsequent divorce among US young adults. Design Three waves of survey data collected at approximately ages 18, 23 and 29 years were used. Using multivariate logistic regression and controlling for factors present at the two early waves, we tested for prospective relationships between substance use at the second assessment and divorce by the third. Participants A longitudinal panel following adolescents on the west coast of the United States into young adulthood. The analytic subsample consisted of the 454 individuals currently married at the age 23 survey. Measurements Predictors were past-year frequency of alcohol intoxication, marijuana use and cigarette use, as well as any hard drug use in the past year. Covariates included substance use prior to marriage, demographic and socio-economic factors, marital discord and religiosity. Findings Controlling for other factors, more frequent alcohol intoxication during marriage was an independent predictor of later divorce. Frequency of marijuana use had a significant bivariate relationship with divorce that was not significant in the multivariate model. Conclusion These data are consistent with the notion that alcohol intoxication is related causally to divorce among young adults.
