这项研究调查了非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔和白色参与者在个人和社会风险因素对饮酒行为轨迹的影响方面的种族差异。数据来自全国青少年健康纵向研究，从七年级到九年级（N = 4，372）。参与者报告了四个波的饮酒频率和第一波的风险因素。生长混合物模型揭示了四个轨迹的酒精使用，包括戒酒者，早期启动者，晚启动者，和去扶梯。社会和个人的风险指标不同的预测组成员的问题饮酒轨迹。种族群体之间的差异表明，缺乏未来的方向可能是非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔青年饮酒的一个显着的风险因素，同龄人饮酒可能是白色青年饮酒的一个显着的风险因素。这项研究的结果表明，可能存在风险因素的个体差异，为预防工作提供了见解。
This study examined racial differences across African-American, Hispanic, and White participants in the impact that individual and social risk factors have on drinking behavior trajectories. Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health from seventh through ninth graders (N = 4,372) were used. Participants reported on frequency of drinking across the four waves and risk factors at Wave 1. Growth mixture modeling revealed four trajectories for alcohol use that included Abstainers, Early Starters, Late Starters, and De-Escalators. Social and individual indicators of risk were differently predictive of group membership to the problematic drinking trajectories. Differences across racial groups suggested that a lack of future orientation may be a salient risk factor for African-American and Hispanic youths' alcohol use, and peer alcohol use may be a salient risk factor for White youths' alcohol use. The findings of this study suggest that there may be individual differences in risk factors that provide insight for prevention efforts.
