横断面研究表明，青少年物质使用和教育动机之间存在联系。本研究的目的是在非裔美国青年的纵向样本中研究这种联系。这项研究调查了酒精和大麻使用和学校动机之间的相互关系，以及它们对681名非洲裔美国青少年（50.8%为女性）毕业的影响。学校的动机被证明与随后在整个高中使用酒精和在高中早期使用大麻有关。学校的动机并不影响毕业状况，但酒精和大麻的使用与高中毕业的可能性较低有关。在第一波尝试过酒精或大麻的人与那些没有尝试过每种物质的人之间发现了一些性别差异和差异。研究结果支持了一个系统模型，即学校经历可以影响物质使用，从而影响高中学业的完成。
Cross-sectional research has shown a link between adolescent substance use and educational motivation. The purpose of the current study was to examine this link in a longitudinal sample of African American youth. The study examined the interrelationships between alcohol and both marijuana use and school motivation over the high school years and their effect on graduation in 681 African American adolescents (50.8% female). School motivation was shown to relate to subsequent alcohol use throughout high school and marijuana use early in high school. School motivation did not affect graduation status, but alcohol and marijuana use were related to a lower likelihood of graduating from high school. Some gender differences and differences among those who had tried alcohol or marijuana at the first wave as opposed to those who had not tried each substance were found. The findings support a systems model where school experiences can affect substance use, which, in turn, can affect the completion of high school.
