青少年枪支暴力是一个严重的公共卫生问题，对年轻黑人男性的影响尤为严重。尽管有人假设童年时期危险因素的不同暴露可能导致青少年持枪的种族差异，但没有纵向研究直接检验这个问题。我们研究了反映社区犯罪、同伴犯罪和行为问题的童年风险因素是否预示着黑人和白人男孩社区样本中青少年持枪的开始。然后分析检验了危险因素的种族差异是否导致了持枪的种族差异。数据来自 485 名黑人和白人男孩的样本，这些男孩从二年级一直到 18 岁都接受了反复评估。研究前三年收集的多方数据被用来评估邻里犯罪、同伴犯罪和行为问题。从五年级到 18 岁，每年都会对非法携带枪支进行评估。生长曲线分析表明，最初行为问题和不良同伴参与程度较高的儿童，以及整个童年时期行为问题增多的儿童，更有可能在 18 岁之前携带枪支。黑人男孩也比白人男孩更可能携带枪支。在控制了最初的行为问题和不良同伴参与后，种族差异大大减少，但并未消除。研究结果表明，旨在减少青少年枪支暴力（包括枪支暴力中的种族差异）的早期预防计划应针对有严重行为问题的男孩和那些在小学期间与不良同龄人有联系的男孩。
Adolescent gun violence is a serious public health issue that disproportionately affects young Black males. Although it has been postulated that differential exposure to childhood risk factors might account for racial differences in adolescent gun carrying, no longitudinal studies have directly examined this issue. We examined whether childhood risk factors indexing neighborhood crime, peer delinquency, and conduct problems predicted the initiation of adolescent gun carrying among a community sample of Black and White boys. Analyses then examined whether racial differences in risk factors accounted for racial differences in gun carrying. Data came from a sample of 485 Black and White boys who were repeatedly assessed from 2nd grade until age 18. Multi-informant data collected across the first three years of the study were used to assess neighborhood crime, peer delinquency, and conduct problems. Illegal gun carrying was assessed annually from 5th grade through age 18. Growth curve analyses indicated that children with higher initial levels of conduct problems and delinquent peer involvement, as well as those who increased in conduct problems across childhood, were more likely to carry a gun prior to age 18. Black boys were also more likely to carry guns than Whites. Racial differences were greatly reduced, but not eliminated, after controlling for initial levels of conduct problems and delinquent peer involvement. Findings suggest that early prevention programs designed to reduce adolescent gun violence (including racial disparities in gun violence) should target boys with severe conduct problems and those who affiliate with delinquent peers during elementary school.
