本研究利用Bronfenbrenner的生态模型（1979年），以检查多个和互动的环境（家庭，社会和文化）的青少年酒精滥用/依赖症状的预测。2001年，对401名美国印第安青年进行了分层随机抽样采访。研究结果表明，家庭成员的物质问题，同伴的不良行为，并参与一般的文化活动积极预测青少年酒精症状。相反，文化自豪感/灵性预测较少的酒精症状，而且，重要的是，宗教信仰缓和了有问题的同龄人和家庭成员对青少年酒精症状的影响。研究结果表明，进一步研究干预和预防工作的好处，从考虑多个环境变量之间的复杂关系。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This study utilizes Bronfenbrenner's ecological model (1979) to examine multiple and interactive environmental (familial, social, and cultural) predictors of adolescent alcohol abuse/dependence symptoms. A stratified random sample of 401 American Indian youths was interviewed in 2001. The findings showed that family members' substance problems, peer misbehaviors, and participation in generic cultural activities positively predicted adolescent alcohol symptoms. Conversely, cultural pride/spirituality predicted fewer alcohol symptoms, and, importantly, religious affiliation moderated the effects of problematic peers and family members on adolescent alcohol symptoms. The findings suggest further study of intervention and prevention efforts regarding the benefits from consideration of the complex relationships among multiple environmental variables.
