The Problem Oriented Screening Instrument for Teenagers (POSIT) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were administered to 55 disadvantaged adolescent mothers who abused drugs during pregnancy and 49 nondrug-abusing disadvantaged adolescent mothers. Results suggested that the drug-abusing mothers were depressed (BDI = 14) while the nondrug-abusing mothers were nondepressed (BDI = 6). In addition, the drug-abusing mothers reported more mental and physical health problems, more problematic family and peer relationships, poorer social skills, more aggressive behavior, less constructive use of leisure time, and a lower educational and vocational status than did nondrug-abusing adolescent mothers. A multiple regression analysis of POSIT scales indicated that the best predictors of drug abuse during pregnancy were mental health status, leisure and recreational activities, and peer relationships. These results highlight the utility of administering the POSIT to identify stressors that place pregnant adolescents at risk for drug abuse.
面向问题的青少年筛查工具（POSIT）和贝克抑郁量表（BDI）被施用于55名在孕期滥用药物的弱势青少年母亲以及49名不滥用药物的弱势青少年母亲。结果显示，滥用药物的母亲表现出抑郁（BDI = 14），而不滥用药物的母亲则没有抑郁（BDI = 6）。此外，与不滥用药物的青少年母亲相比，滥用药物的母亲报告了更多的身心健康问题、更多有问题的家庭和同伴关系、更差的社交技能、更具攻击性的行为、对休闲时间的利用缺乏建设性，以及更低的教育和职业地位。对POSIT量表的多元回归分析表明，孕期药物滥用的最佳预测因素是心理健康状况、休闲和娱乐活动以及同伴关系。这些结果凸显了使用POSIT来识别使怀孕青少年面临药物滥用风险的压力源的效用。
