目的：为了确定父母的社会影响是否与健康风险行为比同龄人的社会影响，在年轻的少数民族adolescents.Methods：我们进行了一项横断面调查的七年级学生在公立城市磁铁中学使用的调查工具，改编自疾病控制和预防中心的青年危险行为调查。样本包括所有七年级的学生在学校，调查的一部分，以学校为基础的健康教育计划的需求评估。我们测量了四种健康风险行为：（a）吸烟，（B）饮酒，（c）开始性活动，和（d）大麻使用;和五种社会影响：（a）父母不赞成健康风险行为，（B）父母对健康风险行为的建模，（c）父母对健康风险的监测，（d）同伴不赞成健康风险，和（e）同伴对健康风险行为的建模。分析包括健康风险行为患病率的测量、评估健康风险行为与社会影响之间关系的双变量分析以及确定社会影响与四种健康风险行为的独立关联的回归分析。结果如下：20%的受访者报告使用烟草，超过50%的人在过去一年中使用酒精，13.3%的人性活跃，12%的人报告使用大麻。父母的影响与饮酒的差异有关，而同伴的影响与所有测量的健康风险行为的差异有关：烟草和酒精的使用，性活动和大麻的使用。回归分析表明，同伴社会影响是唯一与戒烟（p <0.05）、戒酒（p <0.01）、性活动（p <0.05）和大麻使用（p <0.05）独立相关的指标。在所有的分析中，同龄人出现了最一致的社会影响健康风险behaviors.Conclusion：这项研究表明，同龄人和同龄人群体的行为可能是更好的预测青少年健康风险行为比父母的社会影响年轻的青少年。(C)青少年医学协会，2001年。
Purpose: To determine whether parent social influences are associated with health-risk behaviors more than peer social influences among young minority adolescents.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of seventh-grade students in a public urban magnet middle school using a survey instrument adapted from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Youth Risk Behavior Survey. The sample consisted of all seventh-grade students in the school, and the survey was part of a needs assessment for a school-based health education program. We measured four health-risk behaviors: use of (a) tobacco, (b) alcohol, (c) onset of sexual activity, and (d) marijuana use; and five social influences: (a) parent disapproval of health-risk behaviors, (b) parent modeling of health-risk behaviors, (c) parent monitoring of health-risks, (d) peer disapproval of health risks, and (e) peer modeling of health-risk behaviors. The analyses included measures of the prevalence of health-risk behaviors, bivariate analyses to evaluate relationships between health-risk behaviors and social influences, and regressions analyses to determine the independent associations of thesocial influences with the four health-risk behaviors. Results: Twenty percent of respondents reported using tobacco, over 50% used alcohol in the past year, 13.3% were sexually active, and 12% reported marijuana use. Parent influences were associated with differences in alcohol use, whereas peer influences were associated with differences in all measured health-risk behaviors: tobacco and alcohol use, sexual activity, and marijuana use. Regression analyses demonstrated that peer social influences were the only measures independently associated with abstinence from tobacco (p < .05), alcohol (p < .01), sexual activity (p < .05), and marijuana use (p < .05). In all analyses, peers emerged as the most consistent social influence on health-risk behavior.Conclusion: This study suggests peers and peer group behavior may be better predictors of adolescent health-risk behaviors than parental social influences among young adolescents.
