To investigate whether sleep duration is associated with adolescent handgun carrying behaviors.
The Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey (FYSAS) is a cross-sectional study of adolescents.
The state of Florida.
Middle school and high school students (n = 42,182) attending public schools in 2018.
Dichotomous measures of general handgun carrying and taking a handgun to school within the past 12 months were modeled as dependent variables. Self-reports of hours slept on an average school night were used to construct multiple indicators of sleep duration (ordinal, dichotomous, and hourly dummy variable series) to predict general handgun carrying and taking a handgun to school in logistic regression models when accounting for several covariates.
Adjusting for model covariates, youth who reported sleeping four or fewer hours at night had 40% greater odds of general handgun carrying than youth who reported sleeping eight or more hours. Likewise, youth who reported sleeping four or fewer hours at night had 85% greater odds of taking a handgun to school than youth who reported sleeping eight or more hours. Youth who reported sleeping five, six, or seven hours were no more likely to report handgun-carrying behaviors than youth who reported sleeping eight or more hours.
Among youth in Florida, severe deficits in sleep are associated with general handgun carrying as well as taking a handgun to school. More modest sleep deficits are not associated with these behaviors.
调查睡眠时间是否与青少年携带手枪行为有关。
佛罗里达青少年药物滥用调查（FYSAS）是一项对青少年进行的横断面研究。
佛罗里达州。
2018 年在公立学校就读的中学生和高中生（n=42182）。
将一般携带手枪和在过去 12 个月内带手枪上学的二分变量作为因变量进行建模。使用平均上学日的睡眠时间报告来构建睡眠时长的多个指标（有序、二分和每小时哑变量系列），以在逻辑回归模型中预测一般携带手枪和带手枪上学的情况，同时考虑到几个协变量。
在调整模型协变量后，报告每晚睡眠四小时或更少的青少年携带手枪的可能性比报告每晚睡眠八小时或更多的青少年高 40%。同样，报告每晚睡眠四小时或更少的青少年带手枪上学的可能性比报告每晚睡眠八小时或更多的青少年高 85%。报告每晚睡五、六或七小时的青少年携带手枪的行为并不比报告每晚睡八小时或更多的青少年更有可能。
在佛罗里达州的青少年中，严重的睡眠不足与一般携带手枪以及带手枪上学有关。睡眠不足更温和的情况下，与这些行为无关。
