目的：社交媒体的使用在年轻人中很普遍，不同的网站有不同的目的，功能和受众。本研究确定了类的年轻人的基础上，他们使用的网站和频率，并比较他们的健康风险因素和behaviors.Methods：潜在的配置文件模型的基础上，使用10个网站的频率从全国样本的年轻人年龄在18 - 24岁（n = 1,062）。双变量分析和多变量回归研究类成员和酒精，烟草和其他药物（ATOD）的使用，抑郁症和焦虑症的症状之间的关系。低用户（7.9%）高使用者（63.1%），专业用户-LinkedIn的高使用率创意用户-大量使用Vine和Tumblr（11.5%），主流用户-大量使用Facebook和YouTube（7.4%）。班级在ATOD使用和抑郁症状上存在显着差异。与高使用者相比，创意使用者使用大多数物质的几率更高，抑郁症状的几率更低，主流使用者社交使用物质（酒精和水烟）的几率更高，专业使用者使用酒精，香烟和雪茄的几率更高，低使用者使用其他药物的几率更高（例如，结论：年轻人的社交媒体网站使用情况与ATOD使用和抑郁症状相关。使用和共同使用某些网站可能会影响ATOD相关内容的数量和性质以及年轻人在社交媒体上的体验。根据与每种健康风险相关的使用模式选择的地点进行针对性干预可能是有效的。(c)2018年青少年健康和医学协会。All rights reserved.
Purpose: Social media use is pervasive among young adults, and different sites have different purposes, features, and audiences. This study identified classes of young adults based on what combination of sites they use and how frequently, and compared their health risk factors and behaviors.Methods: Latent profile models were developed based on frequency of using 10 sites from a national sample of young adults aged 18 - 24 years (n = 1,062). Bivariate analyses and multivariable regressions examined the relationship between class membership and alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) use, and symptoms of depression and anxiety.Results: The optimal model identified five classes: Low Users (7.9%), High Users (63.1%), Professional Users - high use of LinkedIn (10.1%), Creative Users - high use of Vine and Tumblr (11.5%), and Mainstream Users - high use of Facebook and YouTube (7.4%). Classes differed significantly on ATOD use and depressive symptoms. Compared to High Users, Creative Users had higher odds of using most substances and lower odds of depressive symptoms, Mainstream Users had higher odds of substances used socially (alcohol and hookah), Professional Users had higher odds of using alcohol, cigarettes, and cigars, and Low Users had higher odds of using other drugs (e.g., cocaine and heroin).Conclusions: A young adult's social media site use profile is associated with ATOD use and depressive symptoms. Use and co-use of certain sites may influence the volume and nature of ATOD-related content and norms young adults experience in social media. Targeting interventions to sites selected based on use patterns associated with each health risk may be effective. (c) 2018 Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine. All rights reserved.
