This study explores the connection between violent victimization in adolescence and subsequent problem drinking. Using national data we estimate the effects of adolescent victimization on a 3-category problem drinking measure (Abstainers, Moderate, and Binge Drinkers). We also examine the differences in the social and personal consequences of drinking across victims and non-victims. These consequences include harm to friendships, health, outlook on life, marriage, work, studies, and financial position. Victims of adolescent violence are more likely to engage in subsequent binge drinking and experience negative drinking consequences, particularly negative financial consequences. The findings are consistent with the adolescent development literature, which has highlighted the importance of violent victimization in the transition to adult roles and responsibilities. Additional research, particularly longitudinal data on violent victimization and substance abuse on a nationally representative sample of young people and adults is needed to further explore the connection between violent victimization and subsequent problem drinking.
本研究探讨青少年时期遭受暴力侵害与随后出现的问题饮酒之间的联系。利用全国性数据，我们估计了青少年受害经历对一种三类问题饮酒衡量标准（戒酒者、适度饮酒者和狂饮者）的影响。我们还研究了受害者和非受害者在饮酒的社会和个人后果方面的差异。这些后果包括对友谊、健康、人生观、婚姻、工作、学业和财务状况的损害。青少年暴力受害者更有可能随后参与狂饮并经历负面的饮酒后果，尤其是负面的财务后果。这些发现与青少年发展文献一致，该文献强调了暴力侵害在向成人角色和责任过渡中的重要性。需要进行更多研究，特别是关于暴力侵害和药物滥用的纵向数据，以全国代表性的年轻人和成年人样本进一步探索暴力侵害与随后问题饮酒之间的联系。
