Abstract

Abstract We examined timing of first alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use as a function of paternal death or parental divorce during childhood. Data were drawn from a large ethnically diverse sample, including 4,880 Hispanic, Black, and White children and mothers. Survival analyses were conducted, predicting age at first substance use from parental loss, separately by substance class and child sex and racial/ethnic group. Results confirm risk of early use associated with parental divorce, especially among females, and highlight paternal death as a risk factor for some children. To inform prevention efforts, replication and extension of analyses to identify underlying mechanisms is necessary.

父亲死亡，父母离婚，以及种族多样性样本中首次物质使用的时间

摘要:我们研究了儿童时期首次饮酒、吸烟和吸食大麻的时间与父亲死亡或父母离婚的关系。数据来自一个种族多样化的大样本，包括4880名西班牙裔、黑人和白人儿童和母亲。进行生存分析，根据物质类别、儿童性别和种族/民族分别预测父母失去药物后首次使用药物的年龄。结果证实，早期使用的风险与父母离婚有关，特别是在女性中，并强调父亲死亡是一些儿童的风险因素。为了为预防工作提供信息，有必要复制和扩展分析，以确定潜在机制。
