This study examines associations of changes in perceived and objective (census-based) neighborhood social environment variables during adolescence with alcohol and marijuana outcomes in emerging adulthood using two waves of data (2013-14 and 2019-20) from a cohort in Southern California (n = 1249). Increasing perceived disorganization predicted greater alcohol consequences and socialization with peers using marijuana. Decreasing objective neighborhood SES predicted fewer alcohol consequences and greater socialization with peers drinking alcohol. Unexpectedly, both decreasing and increasing perceived social cohesion predicted fewer alcohol consequences. Increasing perceived social cohesion predicted lower solitary alcohol use. Findings identify potential environmental targets to prevent substance use during the transition to emerging adulthood, but more research is warranted to understand the complex findings for alcohol consequences.
本研究使用南加州队列的两波数据(2013-14 年和 2019-20 年),考察了青少年时期感知到的和客观的(基于人口普查的)邻里社会环境变量的变化与成年早期的酒精和大麻结果之间的关联(n=1249)。感知到的混乱程度增加预示着更多的酒精后果和与吸食大麻的同龄人社交。客观的邻里社会经济地位下降预示着较少的酒精后果和与饮酒的同龄人更多的社交。出乎意料的是,感知到的社会凝聚力的增加和减少都预示着较少的酒精后果。感知到的社会凝聚力的增加预示着孤独饮酒的减少。这些发现确定了潜在的环境目标,以防止在向成年早期过渡期间的物质使用,但需要更多的研究来理解酒精后果的复杂发现。
