OBJECTIVE
To examine the association between gang involvement and female adolescents' health.
METHODS
African American adolescent females (N = 522) completed a survey that assessed their history of gang involvement and health behaviors and provided specimens that were analyzed for marijuana use and sexually transmitted diseases.
RESULTS
In logistic regression analyses, adolescents with a history of gang involvement were more likely to have been expelled from school (odds ratio [OR]: 3.6), be a binge drinker (OR: 3.3), have a positive toxicologic test for marijuana (OR: 2.6), have been in 3 or more fights in the past 6 months (OR: 3.8), have a nonmonogamous partner (OR: 2.4), and test positive for Trichomonas vaginalis (OR: 2.2) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (OR: 3.6).
CONCLUSION
This study extends the current research on risk behaviors associated with gang involvement to include biological markers for substance use and sexual health outcomes, namely, marijuana use and sexually transmitted diseases.
目的
探讨帮派涉入与女性青少年健康之间的关联。
方法
非裔美国青少年女性（N = 522）完成了一项调查，该调查评估了她们的帮派涉入史和健康行为，并提供了用于分析大麻使用情况和性传播疾病的样本。
结果
在逻辑回归分析中，有帮派涉入史的青少年更有可能被学校开除（比值比[OR]：3.6）、酗酒（OR：3.3）、大麻毒理学检测呈阳性（OR：2.6）、在过去6个月内参与过3次或更多次打架（OR：3.8）、有非一夫一妻制伴侣（OR：2.4），以及阴道毛滴虫检测呈阳性（OR：2.2）和淋病奈瑟菌检测呈阳性（OR：3.6）。
结论
本研究将目前关于与帮派涉入相关的风险行为的研究扩展到包括物质使用和性健康结果的生物学标志物，即大麻使用和性传播疾病。
