This research examined the development of anxiety across adolescence and early adulthood among a sample of juvenile offenders comprising males and females. In addition, despite the understanding of maternal substance abuse and maternal unemployment as risk factors predicting development of anxiety, this research examined the interaction between these two characteristics for doing so. Analyses used group-based trajectory modelling to provide descriptive representation of general developmental patterns of anxiety. Next, a series of multinomial logistic regression models were estimated to examine the effects of baseline covariates on the relative risk of assignment to the elucidated trajectory groups. A three-group model best fit the data, comprising low, moderate, and high anxiety trajectory groups. Results from the regression models indicate that the interaction between maternal unemployment and maternal substance abuse history significantly increased the risk of assignment to the high anxiety group.
本研究调查了包括男性和女性在内的青少年罪犯样本在整个青春期和成年早期焦虑症的发展情况。此外，尽管人们了解母亲药物滥用和母亲失业是预测焦虑症发展的风险因素，但本研究仍考察了这两个特征之间的相互作用对焦虑症发展的影响。分析采用基于群体的轨迹模型来描述焦虑症的一般发展模式。接下来，估计了一系列多项逻辑回归模型，以检验基线协变量对分配到阐明的轨迹组的相对风险的影响。一个三组模型最适合该数据，包括低、中、高焦虑轨迹组。回归模型的结果表明，母亲失业与母亲药物滥用史之间的相互作用显著增加了被分配到高焦虑组的风险。
