尽管围绕青少年饮酒和吸烟 (A&T) 的决定因素进行了数十年的研究，但建筑环境的影响直到最近才被探索。本研究对 205 名拉丁裔青少年进行序数回归，探讨建筑环境（靠近 A&T 零售商）对 A&T 使用的影响，同时控制公认的社会预测因素。样本中 45% 是外国出生的。 A&T 的使用与受访者家到最近的 A&T 零售商的距离 (-)、文化适应 (+)、父母对应急管理的一贯使用 (-)、同伴对 A&T 的使用 (+)、逃学 (+)、在紧邻美国/墨西哥边境的学校上学 (+) 以及到最近零售商的距离与家长对应急管理的一贯使用 (+) 之间的交互作用有关。拉丁裔青少年与最近的 A&T 零售商的距离缩短与 A&T 使用量增加之间的关联揭示了美墨边境地区的另一个风险行为决定因素。
Despite decades of research surrounding determinants of alcohol and tobacco (A&T) use among adolescents, built environment influences have only recently been explored. This study used ordinal regression on 205 Latino adolescents to explore the influence of the built environment (proximity to A&T retailers) on A&T use, while controlling for recognized social predictors. The sample was 45% foreign-born. A&T use was associated with distance from respondents' home to the nearest A&T retailer (-), acculturation (+), parents' consistent use of contingency management (-), peer use of A&T (+), skipping school (+), attending school in immediate proximity to the US/Mexico border (+), and the interaction between the distance to the nearest retailer and parents' consistent use of contingency management (+). The association between decreasing distance to the nearest A&T retailer and increased A&T use in Latino adolescents reveals an additional risk behavior determinant in the US-Mexico border region.
