Prior research shows parental monitoring is associated with less substance use, but these studies have some limitations. Many examine older adolescents from White, Euro-American heritage, and cross-sectional studies are unable to test if parental monitoring decreases substance use over time. We address these limitations with longitudinal data of 2,034 primarily Latino preadolescents in Phoenix, Arizona, USA in 2004-2005. We use multilevel regression with multiple imputation of missing data. We find parental monitoring has beneficial, longitudinal effects on youth's substance use and related intentions, norms, and attitudes. Effects are invariant to gender or Latino ethnicity, except in the case of marijuana.
先前的研究表明,父母监督与较少的物质使用有关,但这些研究存在一些局限性。许多研究都针对来自白人、欧洲裔美国人背景的青少年进行,且横断面研究无法检验父母监督是否会随着时间的推移减少物质使用。我们利用 2004-2005 年美国亚利桑那州凤凰城 2034 名主要为拉丁裔的青春期前儿童的纵向数据来解决这些局限性。我们使用具有缺失数据多重插补的多层次回归。我们发现,父母监督对青少年的物质使用及其相关意图、规范和态度具有有益的纵向影响。这些影响对性别或拉丁裔种族没有差异,除了大麻的情况。
