this cross-sectional study identified a number of factors that were correlated with drug-use severity among homeless youth.
to examine a commonly used measure of substance-use severity, the TCU Drug Screen II, in a convenience sample of 156 homeless youth, ages 15-25 from a drop-in site in Santa Monica, California.
higher drug-use severity scores were independently related to low levels of perceived health and maladaptive coping strategies.
the findings from this study are particularly relevant in that they support previous results showing that psychosocial variables are related to substance use behavior among young populations.
这项横断面研究确定了一些与无家可归青少年药物使用严重程度相关的因素。
为了检验一种常用的物质使用严重程度测量方法——德克萨斯基督教大学药物筛查II，在加利福尼亚州圣莫尼卡一个救助点选取了156名年龄在15至25岁之间的无家可归青少年作为便利样本进行研究。
较高的药物使用严重程度得分与较低的健康感知水平和适应不良的应对策略独立相关。
本研究结果尤为重要，因为它们支持了先前的研究结果，即社会心理变量与年轻人群的物质使用行为有关。
