吸毒是一个令人不安的问题，在不断增长的美国西班牙裔青少年人口。本研究在507名西班牙裔青少年样本中检查了与药物使用相关的风险和保护因素。数据是在2014年和2015年从美国各地的年轻人中收集的。样本的平均年龄为14.1岁，男性占37.3%。青年人回答了关于其吸毒情况以及与吸毒有关的风险和保护因素的在线调查问卷。消极的自我形象、较高的压力、较弱的应对技能、同伴吸毒、较低的自我控制、目标设定、解决问题技能和自我效能感以及未来吸毒的较高意图都与过去一个月吸毒的可能性增加有关。与在家主要说西班牙语的自我形象较高的年轻人相比，在家主要说英语的自我形象较高的年轻人使用毒品的可能性较小。研究结果对于更好地了解美国不断增长的西班牙裔青少年人口中的毒品使用风险和保护因素具有重要意义。努力更好地检查和提高西班牙裔年轻人的认知行为技能似乎是一个明智的投资。
Drug use is a disquieting problem among the growing population of U.S. Hispanic adolescents. This study examined risk and protective factors associated with drug use in a sample of 507 Hispanic adolescents. Data were collected in 2014 and 2015 from youths across the United States. The sample had a mean age of 14.1 years and was 37.3% male. Youths responded to an online questionnaire about their drug use and risk and protective factors associated with drug use. Negative self-image, higher levels of stress, weaker coping skills, peer drug use, lower levels of self-control, goal-setting, problem-solving skills, and self-efficacy, and higher intentions to use drugs in the future were associated with increased odds of past-month drug use. Youths with higher self-images who spoke mostly English at home were less likely to use drugs than youths with higher self-images who spoke mostly Spanish at home.Study results have implications for gaining a better understanding of drug use risk and protective factors among America's growing population of Hispanic adolescents. Efforts to better examine and enhance Hispanic youths' cognitive-behavioral skills seem a wise investment.
