This investigation examined the pathways to nicotine dependence among a sample of inner city African-American and Puerto Rican young adults (mean age = 26.1 years, SD = 1.4 years). Four hundred and seventy-five young adults were interviewed. The findings based on structural equation models showed that family conflicts, parental tobacco use, and weak ethnic identity were associated with vulnerable personality attributes and drug use, which in turn were related to nicotine dependence. Prevention strategies in young adults aimed at family conflicts, parental tobacco use, vulnerable personality attributes, drug use, weak ethnic identity, and socioeconomic status should be effective in reducing risks for nicotine dependence.
这项调查研究了市中心非裔美国人和波多黎各裔年轻成年人样本（平均年龄 = 26.1岁，标准差 = 1.4岁）中尼古丁依赖的途径。对475名年轻成年人进行了访谈。基于结构方程模型的研究结果表明，家庭冲突、父母吸烟以及薄弱的族群认同与易成瘾的人格特质和药物使用有关，而这些又与尼古丁依赖相关。针对年轻成年人的家庭冲突、父母吸烟、易成瘾的人格特质、药物使用、薄弱的族群认同和社会经济地位的预防策略，应能有效降低尼古丁依赖风险。
