This investigation integrated violence exposure with critical risk and protective factors linked to healthy adolescent adaptation and transition into early adulthood. A racially diverse sample of 848 adolescents identified as at-risk for school drop-out were assessed for no, single, or multiple forms of violence exposure. MANOVA tests revealed that youth with single form victimization fared more poorly than never-exposed youth, and that multiple-form victimization held the greatest jeopardy to development. Youth with multiple-form victimization reported significantly elevated risk factors (emotional distress, life stress, suicide risk, risky behaviors) and lower protective factors (social support, school engagement, family structure) than both single-form and never-exposed youth. Implications are discussed for preventive and early intervention programming and for examining the transition of at-risk youth into young adulthood.
本调查将暴力暴露与与健康的青少年适应及向成年早期过渡相关的关键风险和保护因素相结合。对848名被确定有辍学风险的青少年进行了种族多样化抽样,评估他们是否遭受过、遭受过单一形式或多种形式的暴力暴露。多变量方差分析测试显示,遭受单一形式侵害的青少年比未遭受过侵害的青少年表现更差,而遭受多种形式侵害对其发展构成的危险最大。与遭受单一形式侵害和未遭受过侵害的青少年相比,遭受多种形式侵害的青少年报告的风险因素(情绪困扰、生活压力、自杀风险、危险行为)显著升高,保护因素(社会支持、学校参与度、家庭结构)则更低。文中讨论了预防和早期干预项目的意义,以及对有风险的青少年向成年早期过渡的研究。
