Résumé :
ENGLISH :
OBJECTIVES: We examined the association between adolescent alcohol and drug use and 9 youth assets in a low-income, inner-city population. METHODS: An in-person survey of 1350 adolescents and parents assessed youth assets and risk behaviors. We analyzed data with chi(2) tests and logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: When we controlled for appropriate variables, there were significant positive relationships between several youth assets and non-use of alcohol and drugs. Furthermore, youths who possessed all of the statistically significant youth assets were 4.44 times more likely to report non-use of alcohol and 5.41 times more likely to report non-use of drugs compared with youths who possessed fewer youth assets. CONCLUSIONS: Our study supports the view that specific youth assets may protect youths from alcohol and drug use. (Review' s abstract)
