Abstract

Data from the NLSY79, a U.S. nationally representative longitudinal survey of labor market behavior, sponsored and directed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor, was used to assess the influence of marijuana use on educational attainment (N = 7,724). Multivariate nested OLS models assessed the associations of marijuana use in 1979, 1984, and 1998 with educational attainment in 2002. Adolescent, frequent, and persistent users experienced lower attainment at ages 37 to 45 than nonusers even when use was confined to adolescence. Implications of the findings, limitations of the study, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

摘要

NLSY79 数据来源于美国劳工统计局赞助和指导的一项全美代表性的劳动力市场行为纵向调查，该数据被用来评估大麻使用对教育程度的影响（N=7724）。多元嵌套 OLS 模型评估了 1979 年、1984 年和 1998 年大麻使用与 2002 年教育程度之间的关联。青少年时期、频繁使用和持续使用大麻的人，即使将使用限制在青少年时期，在 37 岁至 45 岁时的受教育程度也比非使用者低。讨论了研究结果的意义、研究的局限性以及对未来研究的建议。
