The purpose of this study was to investigate gender-specific variations in the associations between communication with father and mother, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking and marijuana use in male and female adolescents. Cross-sectional data were collected from a national sample of 1308 tenth graders who participated in the 2005/06 U.S. HBSC. Outcome variables were self-reported substances used in the past 30 days. Logistic regression analyses controlling for race/ethnicity, family structure and socioeconomic status showed that the association of mother and father communication with adolescent substance use varied by substance and gender. Among sons, father communication was protective against marijuana use and mother communication was protective against smoking. Neither father nor mother communication was protective against substance use by daughters. Research is needed to understand gender-specific differences in correlates of adolescent substance use and the implications for prevention and intervention.
本研究旨在探究青少年与父母沟通情况与青少年吸烟、饮酒和吸食大麻之间的关联是否存在性别差异。该研究的数据来源于全美范围内 1308 名十年级学生，他们参与了 2005/06 年的 HBSC 调查。研究的因变量是青少年在过去 30 天内使用的物质。通过控制种族/民族、家庭结构和社会经济地位的逻辑回归分析表明，母亲和父亲与青少年物质使用的关联因物质和性别而异。在儿子中，父亲的沟通对大麻使用有保护作用，而母亲的沟通对吸烟有保护作用。父亲和母亲的沟通都不能保护女儿不使用物质。需要进一步研究，以了解青少年物质使用的相关性在性别方面的差异，以及这些差异对预防和干预的意义。
