Abstract

This paper contributes new evidence on the association between immigrant status and health by describing and attempting to explain patterns of co-occurring sex and drug use behaviors among Asian and Latino adolescents in the United States. Nine patterns of sex and drug use behaviors were identified from a cluster analysis of data from 3,924 Asian and Latino youth (grades 7-12) who participated in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). The relationship between immigrant status and risk cluster membership was evaluated with multinomial logistic regression. Compared to foreign-born youth, U.S. born Asian and Latino adolescents were more likely to engage in sex and drug risk behaviors. Family and residential characteristics associated with immigrant status partly accounted for this finding. The results indicate that among Asian and Latino adolescents, assimilation to U.S. risk behavior norms occurs rapidly and is evident by the second generation.

摘要

本文通过描述并试图解释美国亚裔和拉丁裔青少年中同时出现的性行为和吸毒行为模式,为移民身份与健康之间的关联提供了新的证据。从对参与青少年健康全国纵向研究(“Add Health”)的3924名亚裔和拉丁裔青少年(7至12年级)的数据进行聚类分析中,识别出了九种性行为和吸毒行为模式。使用多项逻辑回归评估了移民身份与风险聚类成员之间的关系。与外国出生的青少年相比,在美国出生的亚裔和拉丁裔青少年更有可能从事性行为和吸毒风险行为。与移民身份相关的家庭和居住特征部分解释了这一发现。结果表明,在亚裔和拉丁裔青少年中,对美国风险行为规范的同化迅速发生,到第二代时就很明显了。
