与就读传统高中的学生相比,另类高中 (AHS) 学生的酒精和其他药物使用情况通常较高。在这一高危人群中,更多地使用海洛因、甲基苯丙胺和可卡因等毒品,部分原因可能是由于人们对一般物质使用的接受程度更大,这可能会加速从入门毒品到硬性毒品的转变。从整个南加州的另类高中招募了 777 名青少年(平均年龄 16.6 岁;56% 为女性)。为了了解可能导致 AHS 学生使用硬性毒品的因素,我们测试了一个模型,以确定 AHS 学生对药物使用的接受程度是否是过去使用入门药物与未来使用硬性毒品之间关系的中介因素。研究发现,接受纬度是入门吸毒者未来硬性毒品使用的统计显着中介因素(b = 0.03,95% 置信区间 = 0.01 至 0.05)。个人对各种吸毒行为的接受程度可能与社会规范一致。然而,在接触或使用入门毒品后,可能会遇到对硬性毒品使用更加宽容的态度,对硬性毒品的接受可能会扩大,并且硬性毒品的使用可能会升级。旨在减少高危青少年使用硬性毒品的干预措施可能会更具说服力,方法是在目标人群的接受范围内制定信息,并防止接受硬性毒品的使用。
Alternative high school (AHS) students typically report higher levels of alcohol and other drug use compared to students attending traditional high schools. Greater use of such drugs as heroin, methamphetamines, and cocaine in this at-risk population may be driven, in part, by a greater latitude of acceptance toward substance use in general, which may accelerate the transition from gateway drugs to hard drugs. 777 adolescents (mean age 16.6; 56% female) were recruited from alternative high schools throughout Southern California. To understand the factors that may lead AHS students to use hard drugs, a model was tested in order to determine if AHS students’ latitude of acceptance towards substance use was a mediator between the relationship of past use of gateway drugs and future use of hard drugs. Latitude of acceptance was found to be a statistically significant mediator of future hard drug use (b = 0.03, 95% Confidence Intervals = 0.01 to 0.05) among gateway drug users. An individual’s latitude of acceptance to various drug use behaviors may be consistent with societal norms. However, after exposure to, or use of, gateway drugs, attitudes that are more permissive toward hard drug use may be encountered, the acceptance of hard drugs may expand, and the use of hard drugs may escalate. Interventions designed to reduce the use of hard drugs among at-risk youth may be more persuasive by crafting messages that are within the latitude of acceptance of the target population and prevent the acceptance of hard drug use.
