Abstract

We studied alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use (ATOD) among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic, hypothesizing that social-emotional support from teachers during the pandemic would lessen adolescent-reported use of ATOD in the last 30 days. A sample of 3,086 high school youth (51% girls; 45% youth of color) from seven U.S. communities participated in an anonymous online survey between March 2021 and July 2021. Data were analyzed using logistic regressions and structural equation modeling. Teacher social-emotional support predicted greater perceived risk from using ATOD (OR = 1.36-1.73), less 30-day ATOD use (OR = .65-.84), and greater perceived school cultural responsiveness, adolescent social-emotional competencies, and adolescent use of positive coping strategies. Social-emotional support from teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic was significantly related to students perceiving greater risk from using ATOD and reporting more social-emotional competence, which in turn contributed to less ATOD use in the last 30 days. School policies and practices that strengthen student-teacher relationships can help mitigate adolescent ATOD use.

COVID-19大流行期间教师社会情感支持在预防青少年ATOD使用中的作用

我们研究了COVID-19大流行期间青少年的酒精、烟草和其他药物使用情况（ATOD），并假设大流行期间教师的社会情感支持会减少过去30天内青少年报告的ATOD使用情况。3086名高中生(51%为女生；在2021年3月至2021年7月期间，来自美国七个社区的45%（有色人种青年）参加了一项匿名在线调查。数据分析采用逻辑回归和结构方程模型。教师社会情感支持预测使用ATOD的感知风险更高（OR = 1.36-1.73）， 30天ATOD使用更少（OR = 0.65 - 0.84），学校文化反应性、青少年社会情感能力和青少年积极应对策略使用的感知风险更高。在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，教师的社会情感支持与学生认为使用ATOD的风险更大、报告的社会情感能力更高显著相关，这反过来又导致过去30天内ATOD的使用减少。加强师生关系的学校政策和做法有助于减少青少年吸毒。
