同伴环境可能是青少年物质使用的最显著、最有力的预测因素。然而，在以往的研究中，同行的背景往往是定义不清。目前的研究检查了3个模型，以了解如何在最好的友谊，同伴集团和社会人群中使用物质来预测青少年的物质参与。377名高中三年级和四年级学生完成了评估物质使用和同伴关系的调查。结果表明，同伴环境的这三个维度中的每一个都可以独特地预测青少年物质使用。此外，这些同伴的情况下相互作用的青少年的物质使用的预测，使青少年谁是更高度嵌入在物质使用的同伴环境中表现出更大的风险使用物质，而青少年与物质使用最好的朋友表现出降低风险的物质使用，如果他们有其他亲密的朋友谁是较少涉及的物质。
The peer context is perhaps the most salient, robust predictor of an adolescent's substance use. However, in previous studies, the peer context is often poorly defined. The current study examined 3 models to understand how substance use within best friendships, peer cliques, and social crowds predicts adolescents' substance involvement. A sample of 377 high school juniors and seniors completed surveys assessing substance use and peer relationships. Results suggest that each of these 3 dimensions of the peer context uniquely predict adolescent substance use. Moreover, these peer contexts interacted in the prediction of adolescents' substance use such that adolescents who were more highly embedded in substance-using peer contexts showed greater risk for substance use whereas adolescents with substance-using best friends showed a reduced risk for substance use if they had other close friends who were less involved with substances.
