Because of the negative impact on health of drug and alcohol use, this study examined adolescent needs and substance use.
Subjects (N = 191) were adolescents aged 14 to 19 in a rural and an urban high school. A modified version of the Need Subscale from the Addiction Research Center Maturation Scale measured a feeling of satisfaction related to meeting basic needs, and an investigator's prepared questionnaire elicited current use of alcohol, nicotine, and marijuana.
Individuals with feelings of unmet needs were more likely to be current drinkers. Rural/urban residence was not a significant predictor in a multivariate analysis, but religiosity was.
A feeling of unmet needs seems to be an important factor in adolescent substance use.
由于药物和酒精使用对健康有负面影响，本研究调查了青少年的需求和物质使用情况。
研究对象（N = 191）为一所农村高中和一所城市高中的14至19岁青少年。成瘾研究中心成熟量表需求分量表的修订版用于测量与满足基本需求相关的满意度，一份由研究者编制的问卷用于了解酒精、尼古丁和大麻的当前使用情况。
需求未得到满足的个体更有可能是当前饮酒者。在多变量分析中，农村/城市居住情况不是一个显著的预测因素，但宗教信仰是。
需求未得到满足的感觉似乎是青少年物质使用的一个重要因素。
