社区暴力被认为是一个重大的公共卫生问题。然而，只有很少的研究调查了与青少年相关的跨领域社区暴力暴露的风险因素或使用纵向数据。本研究以社区流行病学定义的582名城市青少年（45%为女性）为样本，调查了青少年攻击行为与社区暴力暴露的关系。内化行为、越轨同伴关系和父母监督是攻击行为与社区暴力暴露之间关系的调节因素。对于有攻击行为问题和不正常的同伴关系或低父母监督的男性，共同出现的焦虑症状可以防止随后目睹社区暴力。相比之下，有攻击性行为问题并同时出现抑郁症状的男性目睹社区暴力的风险更高。研究结果对预防干预和未来研究的意义进行了讨论。
Community violence is recognized a significant public health problem. However, only a paucity of research has examined risk factors for community violence exposure across domains relevant to adolescents or using longitudinal data. This study examined youth aggressive behavior in relation to community violence exposure among a community epidemiologically defined sample of 582 (45% female) urban adolescents. Internalizing behaviors, deviant peer affiliation, and parental monitoring were examined as moderators of the association between aggressive behavior and exposure to community violence. For males with aggressive behavior problems and deviant peer affiliation or low parental monitoring, co-occurring anxiety symptoms protected against subsequent witnessing community violence. In contrast, males with aggressive behavior problems and co-occurring depressive symptoms were at increased risk for witnessing community violence. Implications of the findings for preventive interventions and future research are discussed.
