Migrant adolescents show specific risk and protective factors associated with substance use, but the extent to which prevalence rates differ between migrant and native-born youth in Europe remains unclear. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive review of all available substance use prevalence studies on differences in substance use between migrant and native-born adolescents in Europe.
In this systematic review, PubMed, Medline and Pre-Medline, EMBASE and PsycINFO were searched for articles comparing substance use prevalence rates (tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs) between migrant and native-born adolescents or young adults aged 11 to 29 years in European countries. The Joanna Briggs Institute prevalence critical appraisal tool was used for quality assessment.
Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings unanimously showed lower alcohol use in migrant compared to native-born adolescents, in particular among migrant adolescents from non-European countries and/or with a Muslim background. For tobacco and illicit drug use, findings were mixed.
The results suggest a healthier behaviour profile among migrants than among native-born adolescents regarding alcohol use. Therefore, it would be beneficial to develop interventions to support migrant communities in maintaining their healthier alcohol use practices upon arrival in the host country.
Compared to native-born adolescents, migrant adolescents are less likely to use alcohol. The findings on tobacco and illicit drug use were mixed. A European standard for surveys regarding substance use among adolescents is needed to investigate fluctuations, causes, and consequences of substance use differences between migrants and natives at the European level.
移民青少年在物质使用方面表现出特定的风险和保护因素，但欧洲移民和本地出生的青少年之间的流行率差异程度仍不清楚。本研究旨在全面综述欧洲移民和本地出生的青少年在物质使用方面差异的所有可用物质使用流行率研究。
在这项系统综述中，我们在 PubMed、Medline 和 Pre-Medline、EMBASE 和 PsycINFO 中搜索了比较欧洲国家移民和本地出生的 11 至 29 岁青少年之间物质使用流行率（烟草、酒精、非法药物）差异的文章。使用 Joanna Briggs 研究所流行率批判性评估工具进行质量评估。
符合纳入标准的有 15 项研究。研究结果一致表明，与本地出生的青少年相比，移民青少年的酒精使用量较低，特别是来自非欧洲国家和/或具有穆斯林背景的移民青少年。关于烟草和非法药物使用，研究结果不一。
结果表明，与本地出生的青少年相比，移民青少年在酒精使用方面表现出更健康的行为特征。因此，开发干预措施以支持移民社区在抵达东道国时保持其更健康的饮酒行为是有益的。
与本地出生的青少年相比，移民青少年不太可能使用酒精。关于烟草和非法药物使用的研究结果不一。需要制定一项关于欧洲青少年物质使用的调查标准，以在欧洲层面上调查移民和本地人之间物质使用差异的波动、原因和后果。
