OBJECTIVES
The study examined the unique and combined contributions of race/ethnicity, income, and family structure to adolescent cigarette smoking, alcohol use, involvement with violence, suicidal thoughts or attempts, and sexual intercourse.
METHODS
Analyses were based on the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. A nationally representative sample of 7th to 12th graders participated in in-home interviews, as did a resident parent for 85.6% of the adolescent subjects. The final sample included 10,803 White, Black, and Hispanic 7th to 12th graders.
RESULTS
White adolescents were more likely to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, and attempt suicide in the younger years than were Black and Hispanic youths. Black youths were more likely to have had sexual intercourse; both Black and Hispanic youths were more likely than White teens to engage in violence. Controlling for gender, race/ethnicity, income, and family structure together explained no more than 10% of the variance in each of the 5 risk behaviors among younger adolescents and no more than 7% among older youths.
CONCLUSIONS
Findings suggest that when taken together, race/ethnicity, income, and family structure provide only limited understanding of adolescent risk behaviors.
目的
本研究考察了种族/族裔、收入和家庭结构对青少年吸烟、饮酒、暴力行为、自杀念头或自杀企图以及性行为的独特和综合影响。
方法
分析基于青少年健康全国纵向研究。一个具有全国代表性的7至12年级学生样本参加了家庭访谈，85.6%的青少年受试者的一位居住在家的家长也参与了访谈。最终样本包括10803名7至12年级的白人、黑人和西班牙裔学生。
结果
在较年轻时，白人青少年比黑人和西班牙裔青少年更有可能吸烟、饮酒和企图自杀。黑人青少年更有可能有过性行为；黑人和西班牙裔青少年都比白人青少年更有可能参与暴力行为。在控制了性别、种族/族裔、收入和家庭结构后，这些因素共同解释了较年轻青少年中5种风险行为各自不超过10%的变异，以及较年长青少年中不超过7%的变异。
结论
研究结果表明，综合来看，种族/族裔、收入和家庭结构对青少年风险行为的解释有限。
