In this study, we examined the content of adolescents' conversations with their friends about substance use, adolescents' reactions to such conversations, and reasons why some adolescents did not engage in such conversations. Based on 25 semistructured interviews with high school students, we identified three themes: informational, persuasive, and relational messages. Informational messages included discussing how many peers use substances and clarifying rumors about a friend's substance use. Persuasive messages involved direct anti-substance-use messages (e.g., warning), direct pro-substance-use messages (e.g., legalizing marijuana), indirect anti-substance-use messages (e.g., disliking their substance-use experience), and indirect pro-substance-use messages (e.g., intentions to use substances). Relational messages included joking about substance use and establishing code words for use. Adolescents reacted to their conversations in several ways, such as shock and increased relational closeness. When adolescents did not talk about substance use with their friend, they offered several reasons, including low response efficacy and fear of ruining the friendship.
在本研究中，我们考察了青少年与朋友关于物质使用的谈话内容、青少年对这类谈话的反应，以及一些青少年不参与此类谈话的原因。基于对高中生的25次半结构化访谈，我们确定了三个主题：信息性、说服性和关系性信息。信息性信息包括讨论有多少同龄人使用物质以及澄清关于朋友物质使用的谣言。说服性信息涉及直接的反物质使用信息（如警告）、直接的支持物质使用信息（如大麻合法化）、间接的反物质使用信息（如不喜欢他们的物质使用经历）和间接的支持物质使用信息（如使用物质的意图）。关系性信息包括拿物质使用开玩笑以及建立使用的暗语。青少年对他们的谈话有多种反应，如震惊和关系亲密度增加。当青少年不与朋友谈论物质使用时，他们给出了几个原因，包括反应效果不佳和害怕破坏友谊。
