关于非裔美国青少年主观健康状况的预测因子知之甚少。本研究旨在确定选定的人体测量，心理，生活方式行为和结构变量是否预测了310名14-18岁女性非裔美国青少年的横截面非临床样本中自我评价的一般健康状况较差。与居住在较高社会经济水平家庭的青少年相比，来自较低社会经济水平家庭的非裔美国青少年报告自我评估健康状况不佳的几率高出2-3倍，并且与那些更频繁地参加提高精神健康活动的人相比，那些报告很少参加促进精神健康活动的人。研究结果表明，社会经济水平和参与增强健康精神的行为似乎是自我评价健康的最显着预测因素。除了生物多样性因素影响健康状况的看法，以文化为重点的干预措施应整合变量显示，影响非裔美国青少年自我评价的健康。这些包容性可以为更全面地了解这一弱势群体的健康、健康结果和健康差距提供信息。© 2012 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.

Very little is known about predictors of subjective health status among African American adolescents. This study was designed to determine whether selected anthropometric, psychological, lifestyle behavioral, and structural variables predicted poor self‐rated general health in a cross‐sectional nonclinical sample of 310 female African American adolescents, 14–18 years old. The odds of reporting poor self‐rated health were 2–3 times greater for African American teens from lower socioeconomic households when compared to teens residing in higher socioeconomic households and for those reporting infrequent participation in activities that promote spiritual well‐being compared to those who participate more frequently in activities that enhance spiritual health. Findings indicate that socioeconomic level and engagement in behaviors that enhance healthy spirituality appear to be the most salient predictors of self‐rated health. In addition to biodiversity considerations that influence perceptions of health status, culturally focused interventions should integrate variables shown to influence self‐rated health among African American teens. These inclusions may inform a more integrated understanding of health, health outcomes, and health disparities in this vulnerable population. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
