This research study examined the overall and ethnic-specific effects of parental emotional and instrumental support, parent-adolescent interpersonal conflict, and negative life events (i.e., major life stressors, such as parental job loss or school suspension) on the substance use of Caucasian, Asian-American, Filipino, and Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander (NHOPI) youth in Hawai'i. Adolescents (N = 3,561) from 10 public middle/intermediate schools completed paper/pencil surveys, and multiple regression and structural equation models were developed to examine overall and ethnic-specific effects. Parental support was found to buffer against the influence of negative life events on substance use in the overall sample; however, this effect was not observed for either Caucasian or NHOPI youth in ethnic-specific analyses. The impact of parent-adolescent conflict and negative life events on substance use was more pronounced for both Filipino and NHOPI youth. While the study may have had some limitations related to regional specificity and measurement, the findings nonetheless point to the differential effects of risk and protective factors for NHOPI youth, compared with other youth ethnic groups in Hawai'i. Implications of these findings for culturally specific, family-focused prevention research and practice for NHOPI youth are discussed.

夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛民青年的父母支持、父母-青少年冲突和物质使用：压力缓冲和脆弱性影响的种族差异。

本研究调查了父母的情感和工具支持、父母与青少年之间的人际冲突以及负面生活事件（即主要的生活压力源，例如父母失业或停学）对白种人物质使用的总体和种族特定影响。 、亚裔美国人、菲律宾人、夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛民 (NHOPI) 青年在夏威夷。来自 10 所公立中/中学校的青少年 (N = 3,561) 完成了纸笔调查，并开发了多元回归和结构方程模型来检查整体和种族特定的影响。在整个样本中，父母的支持被发现可以缓冲负面生活事件对物质使用的影响；然而，在种族特定的分析中，白种人或 NHOPI 青年都没有观察到这种影响。菲律宾青少年和 NHOPI 青少年的父母-青少年冲突和负面生活事件对物质使用的影响更为明显。虽然该研究可能在区域特异性和测量方面存在一些局限性，但研究结果表明，与夏威夷其他青年族群相比，风险和保护因素对 NHOPI 青年的影响存在差异。讨论了这些发现对 NHOPI 青年具有特定文化、以家庭为中心的预防研究和实践的影响。与夏威夷的其他青年族群相比。讨论了这些发现对 NHOPI 青年具有特定文化、以家庭为中心的预防研究和实践的影响。与夏威夷的其他青年族群相比。讨论了这些发现对 NHOPI 青年具有特定文化、以家庭为中心的预防研究和实践的影响。
