To examine the association between weapon carrying on school property and engaging in health risk and problem behaviors such as fighting and substance use on school property, fear of attending school, and victimization at school.
A complex 2-stage probability survey (Massachusetts Youth Risk Behavior Survey).
High schools in Massachusetts.
Three thousand fifty-four high school students.
Number of days a weapon was carried on school property during the 30 days prior to the survey.
The prevalence of self-reported weapon carrying on school property was 15% among male students and 5% among female students (P < .001). Weapon carrying on school property was significantly (P < .001) associated with frequency of physical fights on school property (r = 0.26), being a victim of threat or injury with a weapon on school property (r = 0.27), being a victim of stolen or damaged goods on school property (r = 0.14), not attending school owing to fear (r = 0.15), and substance use while at school, including smoking cigarettes (r = 0.20), using chewing tobacco (r = 0.18), smoking marijuana (r = 0.24), and using alcohol (r = 0.29). The association between weapon carrying and alcohol use in school was higher among students who were afraid to come to school (r = 0.49) than among students who were not afraid (r = 0.28). Students who had engaged in same-sex sexual activity (P < .001) or had been offered, given, or sold illicit drugs at school (P < .001) were more likely to carry a weapon at school. Multiple regression analysis showed that male sex and the frequencies of physical fighting, being a victim of a threat or injury, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and being offered or sold an illicit drug while on school property accounted for 21% of the variance in weapon carrying in school. When weapon carrying was dichotomized and analyzed with logistic regression, a model containing age, male sex, lower academic achievement, days not attending school owing to fear, times threatened or injured with a weapon at school, frequency of fighting at school, cigarette smoking, alcohol use, and being offered or sold illicit drugs on school property correctly classified 91.83% of the students who did or did not carry weapons.
Weapon carrying at school was more strongly associated more with use of violence and the use of substances at school than with previous victimization and fear of attending school. However, there is a subgroup of students that seems to have been victimized at school, is afraid to come to school, is using alcohol at school, and is carrying weapons at school.
探讨在学校携带武器与在学校参与健康风险行为及问题行为（如打架和使用毒品）、害怕上学以及在学校受侵害之间的关联。
一项复杂的两阶段概率调查（马萨诸塞州青少年风险行为调查）。
马萨诸塞州的高中。
3054名高中生。
调查前30天内在学校携带武器的天数。
自我报告在学校携带武器的比例在男生中为15%，在女生中为5%（P <.001）。在学校携带武器与在学校发生肢体冲突的频率（r = 0.26）、在学校成为武器威胁或伤害的受害者（r = 0.27）、在学校成为被盗或受损物品的受害者（r = 0.14）、因恐惧而缺课（r = 0.15）以及在学校使用毒品，包括吸烟（r = 0.20）、使用嚼烟（r = 0.18）、吸食大麻（r = 0.24）和饮酒（r = 0.29）显著相关（P <.001）。在学校携带武器与饮酒之间的关联在害怕上学的学生中（r = 0.49）高于不害怕上学的学生（r = 0.28）。有过同性性行为（P <.001）或在学校被提供、给予或售卖非法毒品的学生（P <.001）更有可能在学校携带武器。多元回归分析显示，男性性别以及在学校发生肢体冲突的频率、成为威胁或伤害的受害者、饮酒、吸烟以及在学校被提供或售卖非法毒品占学校携带武器差异的21%。当将携带武器进行二分法并使用逻辑回归分析时，一个包含年龄、男性性别、学业成绩较低、因恐惧而缺课天数、在学校被武器威胁或伤害的次数、在学校打架的频率、吸烟、饮酒以及在学校被提供或售卖非法毒品的模型正确分类了91.83%携带或未携带武器的学生。
在学校携带武器与在学校使用暴力和毒品的关联比与先前的受害经历和害怕上学的关联更强。然而，有一小部分学生似乎在学校受到了侵害，害怕上学，在学校饮酒且在学校携带武器。
