This study explores the extent to which parental and peer behaviors and norms may affect substance use, personal anti-drug norms and intentions to use drugs in a group of Mexican heritage preadolescents in the Southwest, and whether these parental and peer influences differ according to gender. Secondary data from a randomized trial of a drug prevention program was used. The sample consisted of 2,733 adolescents. The outcomes were recent alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use, personal anti-drug norms and intentions to use drugs. In this study, peer variables were more consistently related to the outcomes than parent variables, with the exception of parental injunctive norms which were the most predictive parent factor. Recommendations are provided to further study the protective processes that are maintained through the transition into adolescence and acculturation as a foundation for the design of resiliency-focused prevention interventions.
本研究探讨了父母及同伴的行为和规范在多大程度上可能影响美国西南部一群墨西哥裔青春期前儿童的药物使用、个人禁毒规范及用药意图，以及这些父母和同伴的影响是否因性别而异。研究使用了一项药物预防项目随机试验的二手数据。样本包括2733名青少年。研究结果包括近期酒精、香烟和大麻的使用情况、个人禁毒规范及用药意图。在本研究中，除了父母的指令性规范是最具预测性的父母因素外，同伴变量比父母变量与研究结果的相关性更强。本研究给出了相关建议，以进一步研究在向青春期过渡和文化适应过程中保持的保护过程，为设计以恢复力为重点的预防干预措施奠定基础。
