%X Patterns and correlates of substance use among urban African American young women (ages 18-19, <i>n</i> = 459) were examined. Four patterns were identified: no/infrequent alcohol and marijuana use (64.9%); recent alcohol only use (18.2%); recent marijuana only use (7.9%); and recent alcohol and marijuana use (9.0%). Having a recent male sexual partner and a history of sexual coercion were associated with increased odds of marijuana-only and dual use. Greater family support and childhood sexual abuse were associated with increased odds of alcohol-only use. <br><br>RESULTS suggest that sexual relationships and history of abuse/coercion are important factors in young African American women's substance use.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
