感觉寻求，一种人格特质，已经被证明可以预测高风险行为的参与。然而，对于街头青年寻求感觉对物质使用的影响知之甚少。因此，我们试图修改在这一人群中使用的感觉寻求量表（SSS）。来自温哥华风险青年研究的街头青年（n= 226）完成了修改后的SSS。采用探索性和验证性因子分析（EFA/CFA）建立量表的维度和内部效度。采用广义估计方程分析检验SSS评分与注射相关行为的相关性。EFA结果显示量表单维性。比较拟合指数（CFI）为可接受拟合（CFI = 0.914）。在多变量分析中，感觉寻求与注射吸毒、晶体甲基苯丙胺使用、多物质使用和暴用药独立相关（均p< 0.05）。我们的研究结果为在街头青年中使用改良的SSS提供了初步的支持。
Sensation seeking, a personality trait, has been shown to predict engagement in high-risk behaviors. However, little is known regarding the impact of sensation seeking on substance use among street youth. We therefore sought to modify a sensation seeking scale (SSS) for use among this population. Street youth from the Vancouver-based At-Risk Youth Study (n= 226) completed the modified SSS. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA/CFA) were undertaken to establish the scale’s dimensionality and internal validity. The association between SSS score and injection-related behaviors was tested using generalized estimating equation analysis. EFA results indicated scale unidimensionality. The comparative fit index (CFI) suggested acceptable fit (CFI = 0.914). In multivariate analysis, sensation seeking was independently associated with injection drug use, crystal methamphetamine use, polysubstance use, and binge drug use (allp< 0.05). Our findings provide preliminary support for the use of the modified SSS among street youth.
