This study identified behavioral and psychosocial/interpersonal factors in young adolescence that are associated with handgun carrying in later adolescence.
A sample of 2200 high school students was surveyed at 9th grade and again at 12th grade.
Multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that measures of risk-taking preference, depression, stress, temper, and drug use assessed while the students were in 9th grade were predictive of handgun carrying in 12th grade for both male and female students.
These findings suggest the need for a comprehensive approach to prevention that focuses on both individual and interpersonal factors associated with adolescents' decision to carry a handgun.
本研究确定了青少年早期与青少年后期携带手枪相关的行为和心理社会/人际因素。
对2200名高中生样本在九年级时进行了调查,并在十二年级时再次进行调查。
多变量逻辑回归分析表明,在九年级时评估的冒险偏好、抑郁、压力、脾气和药物使用等指标,对十二年级时男女生携带手枪均具有预测作用。
这些发现表明需要采取一种综合预防方法,该方法应关注与青少年携带手枪决定相关的个人和人际因素。
