不使用量表阈值和标准诊断标准，而是使用潜在类别分析来阐明不同的青少年亚群，该分析基于24个青少年自我报告项目的症状特征，评估注意力缺陷多动、对立和行为问题行为。然后，我们调查了在调查评估之前的一个月，被归类为不同类别的破坏性行为与药物消费的关联程度。沿着严重程度的连续体，出现了三种潜在的破坏性行为。被归类为代表多种和更严重行为问题的青少年被发现吸毒率最高，特别是涉及吸入剂和大麻。与我们的假设相反，这个班级中年轻的青春期女性报告说，过去一个月的吸毒率高于同龄男性。研究还发现，在行为问题亚临床水平较高的班级中，吸毒在年轻人中也很常见。表现出多重行为问题的青少年，特别是新出现的行为问题，需要彻底评估最近是否涉及毒品。
Instead of using scale thresholds and standard diagnostic criteria, latent class analysis was used to elucidate distinct subgroups of adolescents based on symptom profiles of the 24 Youth Self-Report items assessing attention-deficit hyperactivity, oppositional and conduct problem behaviors. We then investigated the extent to which being classified into different classes of disruptive behavior was associated with drug consumption in the month prior to the survey assessment. Three latent classes of disruptive behavior emerged along a continuum of severity. Youth classified into a class representing multiple and more serious behavior problems were found to have the highest rates of drug use, particularly involving inhalants and marijuana. Contrary to our hypotheses, younger adolescent females in this class reported a higher rate of past month drug use than similarly aged males. Drug use also was found to be common among youth in a class with a greater proportion of subclinical levels of behavior problems. Adolescents evidencing multiple behavior problems, particularly emerging conduct problems, need to be thoroughly assessed for recent drug involvement.
