Adolescents engage in many risk-taking behaviors that have the potential to lead to injury. The school environment has a significant role in shaping adolescent behavior, and this study aimed to provide additional information about the benefits associated with connectedness to school. Early adolescents aged 13 to 15 years (N=509, 49% boys) were surveyed about school connectedness, engagement in transport and violence risk-taking, and injury experiences. Significant relations were found between school connectedness and reduced engagement in both transport and violence risk-taking, as well as fewer associated injuries. This study has implications for the area of risk-taking and injury prevention, as it suggests the potential for reducing adolescents' injury through school based interventions targeting school connectedness.
青少年会从事许多可能导致受伤的冒险行为。学校环境在塑造青少年行为方面起着重要作用,本研究旨在提供有关与学校联系相关的益处的更多信息。对年龄在 13 至 15 岁的青少年(N=509,49%为男生)进行了有关学校联系、交通和暴力冒险行为以及受伤经历的调查。研究发现,学校联系与减少交通和暴力冒险行为以及减少相关伤害之间存在显著关系。这项研究对冒险和伤害预防领域具有重要意义,因为它表明通过针对学校联系的基于学校的干预措施,有可能减少青少年的伤害。
