Current adolescent substance use risk models have inadequately predicted use for African Americans, offering limited knowledge about differential predictability as a function of developmental period. Among a sample of 500 African American youth (ages 11-21), four risk indices (i.e., social risk, attitudinal risk, intrapersonal risk, and racial discrimination risk) were examined in the prediction of alcohol, marijuana, and cigarette initiation during early (ages 11-13), mid (ages 16-18), and late (ages 19-21) adolescence. Results showed that when developmental periods were combined, racial discrimination was the only index that predicted initiation for all three substances. However, when risk models were stratified based on developmental period, variation was found within and across substance types. Results highlight the importance of racial discrimination in understanding substance use initiation among African American youth and the need for tailored interventions based on developmental stage.
目前的青少年物质使用风险模型对非裔美国人的使用预测不足，对发展阶段的差异性预测能力知之甚少。在一项由 500 名非裔美国青少年（年龄在 11 至 21 岁之间）组成的样本中，研究了四个风险指数（即社会风险、态度风险、个体内部风险和种族歧视风险）在预测青少年早期（年龄在 11-13 岁）、中期（年龄在 16-18 岁）和晚期（年龄在 19-21 岁）青少年时期开始使用酒精、大麻和香烟的作用。结果表明，当将发展阶段结合起来时，种族歧视是唯一能预测所有三种物质开始使用的指标。然而，当根据发展阶段对风险模型进行分层时，在不同物质类型内和之间都发现了差异。研究结果强调了种族歧视在理解非裔美国青少年物质使用开始方面的重要性，以及根据发展阶段制定有针对性的干预措施的必要性。
