To examine relationships between a wide range of socioeconomic factors, race/ethnicity, and adolescent risk behaviors.
The Youth Asset Study (N = 1111) was used to examine multivariate relationships between sexual initiation, alcohol use, tobacco use, and drug use and 8 socioeconomic factors.
Socioeconomic factors beyond income and parental education (eg, wealth) were associated with some health behaviors depending upon gender. However, we did not find that a wider range of factors helped us better understand racial/ethnic disparities.
Even the more comprehensive set of socioeconomic factors considered may not accurately capture the underlying construct of adolescent SES.
研究一系列社会经济因素、种族/民族与青少年风险行为之间的关系。
采用青少年资产研究(N = 1111)来检验首次性行为、饮酒、吸烟和吸毒与8种社会经济因素之间的多变量关系。
除收入和父母教育程度(如财富)之外的社会经济因素与某些健康行为相关,具体取决于性别。然而,我们并未发现更广泛的因素有助于我们更好地理解种族/民族差异。
即使考虑了更全面的社会经济因素集,也可能无法准确把握青少年社会经济地位的潜在构成。
