BACKGROUND
Among adolescents, peers are an important source of drug procurement. However, little is known about factors associated with youths' involvement in drug trade.
OBJECTIVES
The aim of the study is to identify substance use behaviors and contextual factors related to drug dealing among Black and White adolescents.
METHODS
The sample consisted of 13,706 White and Black youths who completed the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Separate backward logistic regression was used to identify substance use behaviors and contextual factors associated with drug dealing among Black and White youths.
RESULTS
Among White youths, drug dealing was associated with use of marijuana, hallucinogens, cocaine, prescription drug misuse, availability of cocaine, and socioeconomic status (SES). Among Black youths, marijuana use and availability of crack and marijuana were associated with drug dealing.
CONCLUSIONS AND SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE
For White youths, substance use seems to be more relevant to drug dealing. Consequently, preventing and treating substance abuse may reduce involvement in the illegal distribution of drugs among White youths. More research is needed to identify risk and protective factors for drug dealing among Black adolescents.
背景
在青少年中，同龄人是获取毒品的重要来源。然而，对于与青少年参与毒品交易相关的因素知之甚少。
目的
本研究旨在确定与黑人和白人青少年毒品交易相关的物质使用行为和背景因素。
方法
该样本由 13706 名完成了《国家毒品使用与健康调查》的白人和黑人青少年组成。分别使用向后逻辑回归来确定与黑人和白人青少年毒品交易相关的物质使用行为和背景因素。
结果
在白人青少年中，毒品交易与大麻、迷幻剂、可卡因、处方药滥用、可卡因的可获得性和社会经济地位（SES）有关。在黑人青少年中，大麻的使用以及可卡因和大麻的可获得性与毒品交易有关。
结论和科学意义
对于白人青少年来说，物质使用似乎与毒品交易更为相关。因此，预防和治疗药物滥用可能会减少白人青少年参与非法毒品分销的可能性。需要进一步研究来确定黑人青少年毒品交易的风险和保护因素。
