Trauma typically occurs when one experiences a situation where life has been threatened or lost. If the trauma is not resolved, negative residual effects may result in alcohol and drug use, involvement in violent activities as well as the development of mental health problems such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Findings from a National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded study examining the link between trauma, drug use and violence among youth are presented. Results from interviews with 414 juveniles remanded to the Office of Children and Family Services (formerly New York State Division For Youth) for assault, sexual assault, robbery or homicide, document the trauma experienced by these youth, as well as how it correlated with their drug usage and participation in violent, illegal activities. Discussion of these findings, their implications for understanding and intervening, and recommendations for future research are highlighted.
创伤通常发生在一个人经历生命受到威胁或丧失的情况时。如果创伤得不到解决，负面的残留影响可能导致酗酒和吸毒、参与暴力活动以及出现心理健康问题，如创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。本文介绍了一项由美国国家药物滥用研究所资助的研究结果，该研究探讨了青少年创伤、药物使用和暴力之间的联系。对414名因 assault、性 assault、抢劫或杀人而被送交儿童和家庭服务办公室（原纽约州青年司）的青少年进行访谈的结果，记录了这些青少年所经历的创伤，以及创伤与他们的药物使用和参与暴力、非法活动之间的关联。重点讨论了这些研究结果、它们对理解和干预的意义以及对未来研究的建议。 （注：assault在法律语境下有多种含义，这里结合上下文推测可能是“攻击”“殴打”等意思，但具体需根据完整法律文本确定准确含义）
