Informed by a strain theory perspective, this study utilizes data on adolescent exposure to violence (AEV) from a prospective, longitudinal, national household probability sample that originally consisted of 1,725 respondents, first interviewed as adolescents in 1977 and last interviewed in middle adulthood in 2003. Findings from bivariate correlations and logistic regression models indicate that AEV is associated with both adolescent and adult illicit drug use, but some of the association between AEV and adult illicit drug use becomes nonsignificant when controlling for adolescent illicit drug use. Specific types of AEV associated with adult illicit drug use differ by gender. Implications, limitations, and future research directions are discussed.
从应变理论的角度出发，本研究利用了关于青少年接触暴力（AEV）的数据，这些数据来自一个前瞻性、纵向的全国家庭概率样本，该样本最初有1725名受访者，于1977年首次作为青少年接受访谈，并于2003年在中年期最后一次接受访谈。双变量相关性和逻辑回归模型的结果表明，AEV与青少年和成人非法药物使用都有关联，但在控制青少年非法药物使用后，AEV与成人非法药物使用之间的一些关联变得不显著。与成人非法药物使用相关的特定类型的AEV因性别而异。文中讨论了研究的意义、局限性和未来的研究方向。
