作为国家药物滥用研究所资助的研究的一部分，对 278 名参与司法的青少年进行了潜在成长模型分析，对青少年中自我报告的酗酒和吸食大麻以及自我报告的犯罪行为的连续性进行了检查，这些青少年至少完成了三项后续访谈中的一项。分析潜在增长模型，检查（a）重度酒精和大麻使用随时间的变化，（b）犯罪随时间的变化，以及（c）物质使用和犯罪随时间变化的同时、平行过程。结果表明，物质使用随着时间的推移而增加，而犯罪行为则随着时间的推移而减少。然而，研究犯罪对物质使用同时影响的增长模型表明，随着时间的推移，犯罪加剧了物质使用。讨论了对政策和干预服务需求的影响。
The continuity of self-reported heavy alcohol and marijuana use and self-reported delinquency among adolescents is examined using latent growth model analyses in a sample of 278 justice-involved juveniles completing at least one of three follow-up interviews as part of a National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded study. Latent growth models are analyzed examining (a) changes in heavy alcohol and marijuana use over time, (b) changes in delinquency over time, and (c) the contemporaneous, parallel processes of changes in substance use and delinquency over time. Results indicate that substance use increased over time, whereas delinquency decreased over time. However, the growth model examining the simultaneous influence of delinquency on substance use suggests that delinquency exacerbated substance use over time. Implications for policy and intervention service needs are discussed.
