Exclusionary school discipline is an initiating component of the school-to-prison pipeline that is racialized and may lead to short- and long-term negative substance use and criminal legal outcomes. However, these impacts, and racial disparities therein, have not been well explored empirically at the individual-level.
We analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (1995-2009). We fit survey-weighted multivariable logistic regression models to estimate reciprocal relationships between exclusionary discipline and adolescent substance use, between these factors and subsequent exposure to the adult criminal legal system, and whether these relationships were modified by race or ethnicity.
We found that students reporting substance use had 2.07 (95% CI 1.57, 2.75) times greater odds of reporting subsequent school discipline, and students exposed to school discipline had 1.59 (95% CI 1.26, 2.02) times greater odds of reporting subsequent substance use. Substance use and school discipline were associated with 2.69 (95% CI 2.25, 3.22) and 2.98 (95% CI 2.46, 3.60) times the odds of reporting subsequent adult criminal legal system exposure, respectively. There was little evidence of effect modification by race/ethnicity.
Findings indicate that school discipline and substance use are reciprocally associated and have direct implications for adolescent health and future criminal legal system exposure.
排斥性的学校纪律处分是学校到监狱管道的起始组成部分，它具有种族化的特点，可能导致短期和长期的负面物质使用和刑事法律后果。然而，这些影响及其内在的种族差异，在个体层面上并没有得到很好的实证研究。
我们分析了来自青少年到成人健康纵向研究（1995-2009 年）的数据。我们拟合了调查加权多变量逻辑回归模型，以估计排斥性纪律处分和青少年物质使用之间的相互关系、这些因素与随后接触成人刑事法律系统之间的关系，以及这些关系是否因种族或民族而改变。
我们发现，报告物质使用的学生报告随后受到学校纪律处分的可能性是没有报告物质使用的学生的 2.07 倍（95%CI 1.57，2.75），而暴露于学校纪律处分的学生报告随后物质使用的可能性是没有暴露于学校纪律处分的学生的 1.59 倍（95%CI 1.26，2.02）。物质使用和学校纪律处分分别与报告随后接触成人刑事法律系统的几率相关，其比值分别为 2.69（95%CI 2.25，3.22）和 2.98（95%CI 2.46，3.60）。种族/民族对这些关系的影响没有明显的修饰作用。
研究结果表明，学校纪律处分和物质使用是相互关联的，对青少年健康和未来刑事法律系统接触有直接影响。
