This article examines whether the proportion of recanters increases (or decreases) as a function of time o test length of time theory.
2,221 US respondents in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth child data. Bivariate and logistic regression analyses were used.
Among recanters, 50% of cigarette and alcohol users recanted use by 4 years, and 50% of marijuana users recanted by 3 years. Predictors of recanting was being Black or Hispanic and younger age. The theory was not supported. Further research is needed to identify potential reasons why adolescents recant their use is such a short time span. The study's limitations are noted.
本文考察了再认者的比例是否随着测试时间的长短而增加(或减少),以检验时间理论。
2211 名来自美国青少年纵向调查儿童数据的受访者。采用了双变量和逻辑回归分析。
在再认者中,50%的烟民和酒民在 4 年内停止使用,50%的大麻使用者在 3 年内停止使用。再认的预测因素是黑人和西班牙裔以及年龄较小。该理论未得到支持。需要进一步研究以确定为什么青少年在如此短的时间内停止使用他们的使用的潜在原因。研究的局限性已被指出。
