本研究以12岁、15岁和18岁(N=803)的青少年为样本，探讨了青少年药物使用和犯罪的性别模式和转变。潜伏期转变分析确定了“初级犯罪者”、“犯罪和吸毒”和“低风险”类别。在12岁时，女性比男性更不可能被归入“初级犯罪”类别。从15岁到18岁，女性从“初级犯罪”过渡到其他两个类别的可能性大致相同，而男性更有可能从“初级犯罪”过渡到“犯罪和吸毒”。这些行为上的性别差异可以为服务提供信息。
This study explores gender-specific patterns and transitions of adolescent substance use and delinquency in a sample of youths at ages 12, 15, and 18 (N = 803). Latent transition analysis identified “Primary Delinquent,” “Delinquency and Substance Use,” and “Low Risk” classes. Females were less likely to be in the “Primary Delinquent” class at age 12 than males. From 15 to 18, females were approximately equally likely to transition from “Primary Delinquent” to both other classes, whereas males were more likely to transition from “Primary Delinquent” to “Delinquency and Substance Use.” These gender differences in behavior can inform services.
