The co-occurrence of gambling with substance use and conduct disorder was examined in a representative U.S. household sample of 2,274 youth 14-21 years old. The findings show that problem gambling occurs within a problem-behavior syndrome with other substance-use behaviors and conduct disorder. Male gender, being black, and being Hispanic were found to be significant in predicting problem gambling over and above the effects of all four substance use and conduct disorder variables. Clinical interventions for one specific problem behavior in youth should consider assessing the other problem behaviors as well.
本研究在美国代表性的 2274 名 14-21 岁青少年家庭样本中调查了赌博与物质使用和品行障碍共病的情况。研究结果表明，问题赌博存在于包括其他物质使用行为和品行障碍的问题行为综合征中。与所有四项物质使用和品行障碍变量的影响相比，男性、黑人以及西班牙裔被发现是预测问题赌博的重要因素。对青少年的一种特定问题行为进行临床干预时，也应该考虑评估其他问题行为。
