This article examines the association between race and racial bullying (bullying due to one's race), in relation to youth substance use in school attending young adolescents in the United States. Weighted unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models were run to assess if racial bullying involvement was associated with youth substance use. Data for this study come from the Health Behaviors in School-Aged Children survey (n = 7,585). An association between racial bullying status (not involve, bullying victim, bullying perpetrator, or mixed bullying victim/perpetrator) and youth substance was identified in this study. Racial bully perpetrators were most likely to have used cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana, followed by youth in the mixed victim/perpetrator group. When analyses were stratified by race, non-Hispanic White and Hispanic youth experienced an increased risk of cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use if in the perpetrator or mixed group (compared to those not involved with racial bullying). Non-Hispanic White and Asian youth were also more likely to report marijuana use if in the victim group. Non-Hispanic Black youth were more likely to use alcohol and marijuana if they were a perpetrator or in the mixed group, but they were not more likely to use cigarettes. Differences appear to exist in relation to racial bullying experience and substance across racial/ethnic group among youth in grades 7-10. Implications for prevention and educational professionals are discussed.
本文探讨了在美国上学的青少年中,种族与种族欺凌(因种族原因遭受的欺凌)之间的关联,以及与青少年物质使用的关系。运用加权未调整和调整后的逻辑回归模型来评估参与种族欺凌是否与青少年物质使用有关。本研究的数据来自学龄儿童健康行为调查(n = 7585)。本研究确定了种族欺凌状况(未参与、欺凌受害者、欺凌实施者或混合欺凌受害者/实施者)与青少年物质使用之间的关联。种族欺凌实施者最有可能使用香烟、酒精和大麻,其次是混合受害者/实施者组中的青少年。按种族分层分析时,非西班牙裔白人和西班牙裔青少年如果属于实施者或混合组(与未参与种族欺凌的青少年相比),使用香烟、酒精和大麻的风险会增加。非西班牙裔白人和亚裔青少年如果属于受害者组,也更有可能报告使用大麻。非西班牙裔黑人青少年如果是实施者或属于混合组,更有可能使用酒精和大麻,但使用香烟的可能性并不更高。7至10年级的青少年在种族欺凌经历和物质使用方面,不同种族/族裔群体之间似乎存在差异。文中讨论了对预防和教育专业人员的启示。
