To examine the relationship between an aggregate risk score (smoking, drinking, and number of sex partners) and measures of youth assets in a sample of 3439 youth aged 14-18 years.
Linear regression models for African American and white males and females predicted an aggregate risk score.
After adjustments, the youth asset most predictive of risk was self/peer values regarding risk behaviors. Perceived school support was also predictive.
Taking an ecological approach to the measurement of adolescent health behaviors contributes to our understanding of these risk behaviors.
在一个由3439名14至18岁青少年组成的样本中,研究综合风险评分(吸烟、饮酒及性伴侣数量)与青少年资产衡量指标之间的关系。
针对非裔美国和白人男性及女性的线性回归模型预测了综合风险评分。
经过调整后,对风险最具预测性的青少年资产是关于风险行为的自我/同伴价值观。感知到的学校支持也具有预测性。
采用生态方法来衡量青少年健康行为有助于我们理解这些风险行为。
