The purpose of this paper is to identify factors associated with initiation to inhalant use among adolescents aged 9 to 18. The data are from the National Survey of Parents and Youth, a longitudinal household survey. Baseline surveys for adolescents and parents were conducted between November 1999 and June 2001 and then annually for three subsequent rounds. The outcome measure is an indicator of a respondent's first use of inhalants. Discrete-time survival analysis was used to model the hazard of initiation. The hazard of inhalant initiation peaks at about 14 years of age (slightly younger than smoking and marijuana initiation). African Americans were less likely than Whites to initiate inhalant use, and higher family income was protective against inhalant initiation. The findings suggest that parenting is associated with initiation of inhalant use: parental drug use was a risk factor for inhalant initiation, and a measure of parental monitoring was protective. The study results also suggest a strong relationship between inhalant use and other problem behaviors and sensation seeking. These results highlight the need to intervene early for youth at risk of or just beginning to engage in risky behaviors including inhalant use.
本文旨在确定与 9 至 18 岁青少年开始使用吸入剂相关的因素。数据来自全国家长和青少年调查，这是一项纵向家庭调查。青少年和家长的基线调查于 1999 年 11 月至 2001 年 6 月进行，然后每年进行三轮后续调查。结果衡量指标是受访者首次使用吸入剂的指标。离散时间生存分析用于对起始风险进行建模。吸入剂起始的风险高峰出现在大约 14 岁（略早于吸烟和大麻起始）。非裔美国人开始使用吸入剂的可能性低于白人，而较高的家庭收入可预防开始使用吸入剂。研究结果表明，养育方式与开始使用吸入剂有关：父母的药物使用是开始使用吸入剂的危险因素，而父母的监督措施具有保护作用。研究结果还表明，吸入剂的使用与其他问题行为和寻求刺激之间存在很强的关系。这些结果突出表明，需要对有风险或刚刚开始从事包括使用吸入剂在内的危险行为的青少年进行早期干预。
