We examined the associations between adolescent risk behaviors and household chaos, and whether associations varied by adolescents' sense of school belonging. We collected data from 801 Chilean adolescents from working-class families (M age 16.2 years). Approximately, one-quarter of participants reported past-month cigarette use, and 8% and 9% reported past-month binge drinking and marijuana use, respectively. More than half of youth reported having sex (52%), 23% of youth reported having unprotected sex at their last encounter, and 14% reported having multiple sex partners. Within the past year, 16%, 36%, and 23% reported carrying a weapon, physically attacking someone, and threatening to physically hurt someone, respectively. Greater household chaos was related to increased odds of each risk behavior except unprotected sex. These associations did not vary significantly by level of school belonging. Results are compared to previously reported results using a U.S., largely Latinx sample in attempts to replicate findings across culture and context.
我们研究了青少年风险行为与家庭混乱之间的关系,以及这种关系是否因青少年对学校归属感的不同而有所不同。我们从来自工人阶级家庭的 801 名智利青少年(平均年龄 16.2 岁)那里收集了数据。大约四分之一的参与者报告说他们在过去一个月内吸烟,8%和 9%的参与者分别报告说他们在过去一个月内狂饮和吸食大麻。超过一半的年轻人报告说有过性行为(52%),23%的年轻人报告说他们在上一次性行为中没有使用保护措施,14%的年轻人报告说有多个性伴侣。在过去一年中,分别有 16%、36%和 23%的年轻人报告携带武器、人身攻击他人和威胁人身伤害他人。家庭混乱程度越高,发生每种风险行为的几率就越大,除了没有使用保护措施的性行为。这些关联在校归属感水平上没有显著差异。我们将这些结果与之前使用美国、主要是拉丁裔样本报告的结果进行了比较,试图在文化和背景方面复制这些发现。
