Substance use and violence are interrelated behaviors during adolescence and early adulthood. Using National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health data, this study examined the longitudinal relationships between (a) alcohol and violence perpetration, (b) marijuana and perpetration, (c) alcohol and victimization, and (d) marijuana and victimization. Cross-lagged structural equation models showed that longitudinal patterns of violence and substance use vary somewhat and that the ways preceding stages of violence and substance use are associated with subsequent violence, and substance use differ by violence, substance type, and transitional stage. Our findings call for primary and secondary prevention strategies targeting early adulthood.
在青少年期和成年早期,物质使用与暴力行为相互关联。本研究利用全国青少年健康纵向研究数据,考察了以下几组关系的纵向联系:(a)酒精与暴力犯罪;(b)大麻与犯罪;(c)酒精与受害情况;(d)大麻与受害情况。交叉滞后结构方程模型表明,暴力行为和物质使用的纵向模式略有不同,暴力行为和物质使用的前期阶段与后续暴力行为及物质使用的关联方式因暴力类型、物质类型和过渡阶段而异。我们的研究结果呼吁针对成年早期制定一级和二级预防策略。
