目的：青少年饮酒的危险因素通常被概念化为个人和人际层面的因素；然而，这些因素并不能完全解释青少年饮酒行为。我们使用社会生态学模型来检验社区因素在青少年饮酒风险和促进模型中的作用(N=711；女性52%；非裔美国人82%；男性=18岁)。方法：使用多水平模型，在考虑了风险(如同伴和父母物质使用)和促进因素(如社会支持和参与亲社会活动)后，我们考虑了邻里劣势对青少年饮酒的作用。结果：同伴饮酒和同伴支持与更多饮酒有关，母亲支持与饮酒负相关。尽管在社区层面上存在显著差异，但社区劣势与青少年饮酒没有直接联系。结论：我们的研究提供了关于社会背景和青少年健康的混合文献。尽管我们的研究强调了人际关系的重要性，但我们没有发现邻居的影响。我们总结了未来研究的方向，以检验青少年饮酒和邻里环境之间的联系。(J.Stud.酒精类毒品，2011年，72,651-659)
Objective: Risk factors for adolescent alcohol use are typically conceptualized as individual and interpersonal level factors; however, these factors do not fully explain adolescent drinking behavior. We used a socioecological model to examine the contribution of neighborhood factors in a risk and promotive model of adolescent alcohol use among urban high school youth (N = 711; 52% female; 82% African American; M = 18 years old). Method: Using a multilevel model, we considered the role of neighborhood disadvantage on youth alcohol use, after accounting for risk (e.g., peer and parental substance use) and promotive factors (e.g., social support and participation in prosocial activities). Results: Peer alcohol use and peer support were associated with more alcohol use, and maternal support was negatively associated with alcohol use. Despite significant variation at the neighborhood level, neighborhood disadvantage was not directly associated with adolescent drinking. Conclusions: Our study contributes to a mixed body of literature on social context and adolescent health. Although our research highlights the importance of interpersonal relationships, we found no support for neighborhood influences. We conclude with future directions for research examining the link between adolescent drinking and neighborhood contexts. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 72, 651-659, 2011)
