我们调查了青春期发育、年龄及其相互作用对女性物质使用行为的影响。采用双潜变量的扩展潜过渡模型来反映青少年物质使用对青春期发育和年龄的依赖关系。采用最大似然估计法对7-12年级女生样本进行分析。分析表明，经历青春期与所有年龄组的物质使用增加有关。在12-15岁的女性中，那些经历过青春期的人比那些晚熟的同龄人更有可能使用药物。特别是，在12岁的非药物使用者中，那些经历过青春期的人比那些没有经历过青春期的人更有可能使用药物。此外，在年龄较大的女性中，正在进入青春期的女性比尚未进入青春期的女性更容易滥用药物。版权所有(C) 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd。
We investigate the impact of pubertal development, age, and its interaction on female substance use behaviour. An extended latent transition model with two latent variables is used to reflect the dependency of adolescent substance use on pubertal development and age. A sample of females in grades 7-12 is analysed using maximum-likelihood estimation. Analyses indicate that experiencing puberty is related to increased substance use for all age groups. Among females aged 12-15, those who have experienced puberty are more likely to advance in substance use compared to their late-maturing counterparts. Particularly, among 12-year old non-substance users, those who have experienced puberty are approximately three times more likely to advance towards substance use than those who have not experienced puberty. In addition, among older females, those whose puberty is in progress are more prone to advance in substance use compared to those whose puberty has not occurred.
