This study examined potential longitudinal and bidirectional relationships between family conflict and adolescent e-cigarette use, and whether gender moderated these associations.
Adolescents (N = 1334; M = 13.11, SD = 0.82; 52% female; 50% White) from the United States completed surveys in the spring of 2016 and again in the fall of 2017.
Logistic regression analyses indicated that after controlling for previous e-cigarette use, family conflict was positively associated with a greater likelihood of e-cigarette use 6 months later. Results from multiple regression analyses indicated that after controlling for previous family conflict, e-cigarette use was associated with increases in later family conflict, particularly for girls.
Study findings highlight reducing family conflict and supporting family functioning as a possible intervention target for adolescent e-cigarette use, a major public health problem.
本研究考察了家庭冲突与青少年电子烟使用之间潜在的纵向和双向关系,以及性别是否调节了这些关联。
来自美国的青少年(N=1334;M=13.11,SD=0.82;52%为女性;50%为白人)在 2016 年春季和 2017 年秋季完成了调查。
逻辑回归分析表明,在控制了先前的电子烟使用后,家庭冲突与 6 个月后电子烟使用的可能性增加呈正相关。多元回归分析的结果表明,在控制了先前的家庭冲突后,电子烟使用与随后家庭冲突的增加有关,特别是对女孩而言。
研究结果强调了减少家庭冲突和支持家庭功能作为青少年电子烟使用这一主要公共卫生问题的可能干预目标。
