Abstract

Introduction

There is ongoing concern about the impact of increasing use of social media and digital devices on unhealthy behaviors such as substance use in youth. Mobile phone and social media use have been associated with substance use in adolescent and young adult samples, but few studies have evaluated these relationships in younger samples.

Methods

This secondary analysis of data drawn from the ABCD Study examined associations between youth-reported mobile phone ownership and social media use at age 11–12 and use of alcohol, nicotine/tobacco, and cannabis over the next 18 months.

Results

Longitudinal logistic regression was used to test the hypothesis that phone ownership and social media use at age 11–12 would predict substance use over time. Phone ownership was associated with greater odds of alcohol and nicotine/tobacco use, and social media use was associated with greater odds of using nicotine/tobacco and cannabis.

Conclusions

These findings suggest that pre-teen youth who own mobile phones and those who use social media may be at greater risk for substance use. Further research is needed to specify mechanisms by which this association occurs and thus inform prevention and intervention efforts.

ABCD 研究中 11-13 岁儿童的手机拥有率、社交媒体使用率和药物使用率。

简介社交媒体和数字设备的使用日益增多，对青少年使用药物等不健康行为的影响一直备受关注。在青少年和年轻成人样本中，手机和社交媒体的使用与药物使用有关，但很少有研究对年轻样本中的这些关系进行评估：本研究对 ABCD 研究的数据进行了二次分析，考察了 11-12 岁青少年报告的手机拥有量和社交媒体使用量与未来 18 个月内酒精、尼古丁/烟草和大麻使用量之间的关系：我们采用纵向逻辑回归法来检验以下假设：11-12 岁时的手机拥有量和社交媒体使用情况将预测一段时间内的药物使用情况。拥有手机与使用酒精和尼古丁/烟草的几率增加有关，而使用社交媒体与使用尼古丁/烟草和大麻的几率增加有关：这些研究结果表明，拥有手机和使用社交媒体的青春期前青少年使用药物的风险可能更大。需要开展进一步的研究来明确这种关联的发生机制，从而为预防和干预工作提供依据。

期刊介绍： Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings. Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
