Hispanic adolescents represent a disproportionate number of youth living in urban communities. These youth confront significant social problems that increase their likelihood for substance use. However, youth that have a greater neighborhood sense of community are postulated, through empowerment theory, to be less influenced by negative environmental experiences and less inclined to engage in drug and alcohol use. We examine the moderating effect neighborhood SOC has on predictors of substance use among Hispanic (N = 538) urban youth in low- (n = 246) and high-conflict homes (n = 292). Using logistic regression analysis and a plotting technique to examine interaction effects, we explore these relationships and provide recommendations for practice and prevention.
西班牙裔青少年在居住于城市社区的年轻人中占比过高。这些年轻人面临着严重的社会问题，这增加了他们使用毒品的可能性。然而，根据赋权理论推测，社区归属感更强的年轻人受负面环境经历的影响较小，也不太倾向于使用毒品和酒精。我们研究了社区社会资本（SOC）对低冲突家庭（n = 246）和高冲突家庭（n = 292）中西班牙裔城市青年（N = 538）物质使用预测因素的调节作用。我们使用逻辑回归分析和绘图技术来检验交互作用，探讨这些关系，并为实践和预防提供建议。
