To examine perceived discrimination and substance use among Latino high school students.
Latino 9(th) graders (N = 1332) completed self-report measures of perceived discrimination and substance use behavior.
Perceived discrimination was associated with lifetime use measures of smoking (OR = 1.73, P < 0.01), alcohol (OR = 1.53, P < 0.01), marijuana (OR = 1.70, P < 0.01), and inhalants (OR = 1.50, P < 0.05); and past 30 day measures of smoking (OR = 2.54, P < 0.01), alcohol (OR = 1.63, P < 0.01), marijuana (OR = 1.95, P < 0.01), and inhalants (OR = 1.64, P < 0.01), and binge drinking (OR = 1.84, P < 0.01).
Latino adolescents who have higher perceptions of discrimination are at risk for substance use. Interventions to help Latino adolescents cope with feelings of discrimination may be a useful addition to substance use prevention programs.
研究拉丁裔高中生所感受到的歧视与物质使用情况。
1332名九年级拉丁裔学生完成了关于所感受到的歧视和物质使用行为的自我报告测量。
所感受到的歧视与吸烟(比值比[OR]=1.73,P<0.01)、酒精(OR=1.53,P<0.01)、大麻(OR=1.70,P<0.01)和吸入剂(OR=1.50,P<0.05)的终生使用测量值相关;与过去30天内的吸烟(OR=2.54,P<0.01)、酒精(OR=1.63,P<0.01)、大麻(OR=1.95,P<0.01)、吸入剂(OR=1.64,P<0.01)以及暴饮(OR=1.84,P<0.01)测量值相关。
对歧视感受较高的拉丁裔青少年存在物质使用风险。帮助拉丁裔青少年应对歧视感受的干预措施可能是物质使用预防项目的有益补充。
