儿童时期父母的脱离预测中期到后期的青少年持枪，部分原因是父母的脱离与较高的同龄人犯罪和外部化的问题，在青春期早期adolescentives：要检查父母脱离儿童和青少年持枪之间的关联，并确定这种关联是否占外部化的问题和青少年早期与犯罪同龄人的联系。方法：该样本包括503名男孩（55.7%非裔美国人，40.6%白色，3.7%其他）从匹兹堡公立学校的一年级教室招募。定期（半年一次，然后每年一次）进行多信息提供者评估，年龄约为7.5至20岁。潜在因素的构建使用父母报告的父母脱离（即，穷人的父母参与，穷人的亲子沟通，穷人的亲子关系质量）收集从年龄7.5至10岁，青少年报告的同伴犯罪从年龄10.5至13岁，和教师报告的外部化问题从年龄10.5至13岁。结果是14至20岁的年轻人报告携带枪支。结果：20%的受访者报告在青春期携带枪支。儿童时期父母的脱离与青少年携带枪支显著相关（β = 0.22; 95%置信区间：0.08至0.36）。此外，父母的脱离和携带枪支之间的关联部分介导的同龄人犯罪和外部化的问题，在青春期早期。两种间接途径占父母分离总效应的29%左右。结论：在童年时期接触到较差的父母参与的男孩更有可能与犯罪的同龄人交往，并在青春期早期表现出外部化问题，这（反过来）增加了他们在青春期后期携带枪支的风险。这表明，针对儿童的枪支暴力预防工作应致力于加强父母参与的各个方面。
Childhood parental disengagement predicts mid- to late-adolescent gun carrying, in part because parental disengagement is associated with higher peer delinquency and externalizing problems during early adolescence.OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between parental disengagement in childhood and adolescent gun carrying and determine whether this association is accounted for by externalizing problems and affiliation with delinquent peers during early adolescence. METHODS: The sample included 503 boys (55.7% African American, 40.6% white, 3.7% other) recruited from first-grade classrooms in Pittsburgh public schools. Multi-informant assessments were conducted regularly (semiannually then annually) from approximately ages 7.5 to 20 years. Latent factors were constructed by using parent-reported parental disengagement (ie, poor parental involvement, poor parent-son communication, poor parent-son relationship quality) collected from ages 7.5 to 10 years, youth-reported peer delinquency from ages 10.5 to 13 years, and teacher-reported externalizing problems from ages 10.5 to 13 years. The outcome was youth-reported gun carrying from ages 14 to 20 years. RESULTS: Twenty percent of individuals sampled reported carrying a gun during adolescence. Childhood parental disengagement was significantly associated with adolescent gun carrying (beta = .22; 95% confidence interval: 0.08 to 0.36). Furthermore, the association between parental disengagement and gun carrying was partially mediated through peer delinquency and externalizing problems during early adolescence. The 2 indirect paths accounted for similar to 29% of the total effect of parental disengagement. CONCLUSIONS: Boys exposed to poorer parental engagement during childhood are more likely to affiliate with delinquent peers and exhibit externalizing problems during early adolescence, which (in turn) increases their risk of carrying a firearm in later adolescence. This suggests that gun violence prevention efforts with children should work to enhance aspects of parental engagement.
