Parent-adolescent relationship (PAR) factors such as social support and negative interactions are associated with initiation of alcohol and marijuana use during adolescence. However, few studies have examined whether the relationship between PAR, especially the paternal role, and substance use onset varies by ethnicity. This is important given that ethnic group differences have been related to alcohol and marijuana use, cultural values and parenting. This study examines whether ethnicity moderates the prospective prediction of substance use onset by PAR factors. The sample comprised 124 adolescents who self-identified as Hispanic and 795 adolescents who self-identified as non-Hispanic Whites, and was drawn from an ongoing longitudinal survey on adolescent substance use. Discrete-time survival modeling was used to prospectively predict age at onset of substance use among participants who were substance-naïve at baseline. Interactions between ethnicity and PAR factors indicated that PAR factors had a larger influence on age of alcohol and marijuana onset for Hispanics than for Caucasians. Among Hispanics, greater social support from and greater negative interactions with the father-figure were more predictive of earlier onset of alcohol, and greater social support from the mother-figure was more predictive of later alcohol onset, compared to Caucasians. Similarly, greater negative interactions with the father-figure were more predictive of earlier onset of marijuana use among Hispanics than among Caucasians. These findings suggest the influence of PAR on alcohol and marijuana use onset may be larger for Hispanics than for Caucasians. Incorporating these parenting factors in substance use prevention programs advances public health in a culturally sensitive manner that is relevant to at-risk Hispanic adolescents.
诸如社会支持和负面互动等亲子关系（PAR）因素与青少年时期开始饮酒和吸食大麻有关。然而，很少有研究探讨亲子关系，尤其是父亲角色，与物质使用开始之间的关系是否因种族而异。鉴于种族群体差异与酒精和大麻使用、文化价值观及育儿方式有关，这一点很重要。本研究考察种族是否会调节亲子关系因素对物质使用开始的前瞻性预测。样本包括124名自我认定为西班牙裔的青少年和795名自我认定为非西班牙裔白人的青少年，取自一项正在进行的关于青少年物质使用的纵向调查。采用离散时间生存模型对基线时未使用物质的参与者开始使用物质的年龄进行前瞻性预测。种族与亲子关系因素之间的相互作用表明，亲子关系因素对西班牙裔青少年开始饮酒和吸食大麻年龄的影响比对白种人更大。与白种人相比，在西班牙裔青少年中，来自父亲形象的更多社会支持和与父亲形象的更多负面互动更能预测更早开始饮酒，来自母亲形象的更多社会支持更能预测更晚开始饮酒。同样，与父亲形象的更多负面互动比在白种人中更能预测西班牙裔青少年更早开始吸食大麻。这些发现表明，亲子关系对西班牙裔青少年开始饮酒和吸食大麻的影响可能比对白种人更大。将这些育儿因素纳入物质使用预防计划，以文化敏感的方式推进公共卫生，这与有风险的西班牙裔青少年相关。
