Latent class analysis examined eight types of last 30 day substance use.Results:Four latent classes emerged: a large group of “nonusers” (69%); a substantial minority using alcohol, tobacco, and/or marijuana [ATM] (17%); a smaller group of polysubstance users consuming, alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, other illicit drugs, and prescription or OTC drugs in combination (6%); and a “not alcohol” group reporting combinations of tobacco, marijuana, and prescription drug use, but rarely alcohol use (4%). The latent classes varied by age and grade level, but not by other demographic characteristics, and aligned in highly consistent patterns on other non-substance use outcomes. Polysubstance users reported the most problematic and nonusers the least problematic outcomes, with ATM and “not alcohol” users in the middle.Conclusions:Urban AI adolescent substance use occurs in three somewhat distinctive patterns of combinations of recent alcohol and drug consumption, covarying in systematic ways with other problematic risk behaviors and attitudes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: glossary research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
