Several studies have reported an increase in risk behaviors among adolescents after experience of parental divorce. The aim of the study was to investigate whether parental divorce is associated with risk behavior among adolescents independent of mental health problems, first when early divorce was experienced, and second after experience of late parental divorce.
One prospective (n=1861) and one cross-sectional study (n=2422) were conducted using data from two Young-HUBRO surveys in Oslo, Norway. All 15/16 year-old 10(th) grade students who participated in the first survey in the school year 2000/01 were followed-up in 2004 when they were 18/19 year-olds. The follow-up rate was 68%. The prospective study investigated the influence of late parental divorce that occurred between the age of 15/16 and 18/19. In the cross-sectional study we focused on early parental divorce that occurred before the participants were 15/16 year-old.
In the prospective study we could not discern a significant association between experiencing late parental divorce and an increase in risk behaviors among 18/19 year-old adolescents. In the cross-sectional study parental divorce was significantly associated with cigarette smoking and using doping agents.
Parental divorce that occurs when the children of divorced parents are 15/16 year-old or younger is associated with an increase in cigarette smoking and use of doping agents. However, no evidence of significant association is found between experience of late parental divorce and risk behaviors in late adolescence.
多项研究报告称，青少年经历父母离婚后，危险行为会增加。本研究的目的是调查父母离婚是否与青少年的危险行为相关，且独立于心理健康问题，首先是经历早期离婚的情况，其次是经历父母晚期离婚的情况。
使用挪威奥斯陆两项青年-胡布罗调查的数据进行了一项前瞻性研究（n = 1861）和一项横断面研究（n = 2422）。所有参加2000/01学年首次调查的15/16岁十年级学生在2004年他们18/19岁时进行了随访。随访率为68%。前瞻性研究调查了15/16岁至18/19岁之间发生的父母晚期离婚的影响。在横断面研究中，我们关注的是参与者15/16岁之前发生的父母早期离婚。
在前瞻性研究中，我们无法看出18/19岁青少年经历父母晚期离婚与危险行为增加之间存在显著关联。在横断面研究中，父母离婚与吸烟和使用兴奋剂显著相关。
父母离婚发生在离异父母的子女15/16岁及以下时，与吸烟和使用兴奋剂的增加有关。然而，没有证据表明父母晚期离婚与青春期后期的危险行为之间存在显著关联。
