生活在城市环境中的黑人青年及其家庭可能会经历独特的压力源，这些压力源会导致环境背景下的根本问题。这些因素可能会在不知不觉中加剧和促进吸毒和从事危险的性行为。很少有人知道家庭因素，同伴压力，安全套的使用，以及其他相关因素与药物使用和从事性行为，而在城市非洲裔美国青年12-22岁（N = 638）的药物。我们使用回归模型来研究父母关系、父母与青少年性健康沟通、避孕套的使用、同龄人对药物使用的压力以及吸毒期间发生性行为之间的关联。多变量分析结果显示，父母间的亲密关系具有统计学意义，且与药物使用相关（OR：1.36，95%CI：1.36）。我们的研究强调，父母的联系在生活在城市环境中的青少年使用毒品方面起着关键作用。
Black youth and their families living in urban settings may experience unique stressors that contribute to underlying issues due to the environmental context. Such factors may exacerbate and promote drug use and engagement in risky sexual behaviors, unknowingly. Little is known about how family factors, peer pressure, condom use, and other related factors are associated with substance use and engaging in sexual behaviors while on drugs among urban African American youth aged 12-22 (N = 638). We used regression models to examine associations between parental bonding, parent-adolescent sexual health communication, condom use, peer pressure on substance use, and having sex while on drugs. Multivariate results indicated that parental bonding was statistically significant and associated with drug use (OR: 1.36, 95%CI: 1.36). Our study highlights that parental bonding plays a critical role in youth using drugs while living in urban environments.
