Abstract

This study examined the developmental alcohol use trajectories of Caucasian and African American adolescents. Participants were 1,358 adolescents (77.6% Caucasian). Results suggest that not only do patterns of alcohol use differ for Caucasian and African American adolescents, but that there is substantial within group variation as well. Results suggest that using a within-groups developmental approach is one promising way to identify subgroups of adolescents at greatest risk for substance use.

摘要

本研究调查了白种人和非裔美国青少年饮酒行为的发展轨迹。研究参与者为1358名青少年（77.6%为白种人）。结果表明，白种人和非裔美国青少年的饮酒模式不仅不同，而且在群体内部也存在很大差异。结果表明，采用群体内部发展方法是识别物质使用风险最高的青少年亚组的一种有前景的方法。
