目的：在南美洲哥伦比亚的一个样本中，审查与吸毒有关的联系、文化/生态因素和主要心理社会风险因素。方法：参与者是生活在南美洲哥伦比亚城乡混合社区的1,687名青少年。哥伦比亚的访谈员在青年家中对其进行了单独访谈。所使用的量表是基于项目的相关性分为以下风险类别：（1）青少年的个性，（2）家庭特征，（3）同伴因素，（4）文化/生态变量。结果：皮尔逊相关系数计算每个变量和大麻使用频率。结果表明，每个领域都与青少年大麻使用有关，有一些显着的性别差异。至于各领域的相互关系，一个中介模式是有效的。结论：研究结果支持家庭干预理论。家庭因素、人格因素、同侪因素对青少年吸食大麻有直接影响。对预防的影响也得到了解决。
Objective: To examine the linkages, cultural/ecological factors, and major psychosocial risk factors as they relate to drug use in a sample from Colombia, South America. Method: The participants were 1,687 adolescents living in mixed urban-rural communities in Colombia, South America. An individual interview was administered to youths in their homes by Colombian interviewers. The scales used were based on item intercorrelations grouped into the following risk categories: (1) adolescent personality, (2) family traits, (3) peer factors, and (4) cultural/ecological variables. Results: Pearson correlations were computed for each variable and the frequency of marijuana use. Results show that each of the domains was related to adolescent marijuana use, with some notable gender differences. As regards the interrelation of domains, a mediational model was operative. Conclusions: Findings support a family interactional theory. The domains of family, personality, and peer factors had a direct effect on the adolescents' marijuana use. Implications for prevention are also addressed.
