本研究旨在确定城市西班牙裔青年的身体攻击轨迹，并研究11岁时的风险和保护因素对身体攻击轨迹的影响。依靠从731个城市西班牙裔青少年从项目北国芝加哥（PNC）的数据，潜在的轨迹模型被用来确定轨迹的数量，和多项式逻辑回归被用来确定与轨迹成员的预测。结果表明，五个轨迹的身体攻击（非攻击性，低稳定，自动扶梯，早期快速停止，和高侵略/中度停止）。在调整了几个风险和保护因素后，语言偏好（例如在家里说西班牙语）被确定为保护因素，而间接接触酒精，悲伤/抑郁，较少的负面酒精相关态度和威胁要打架与身体攻击的风险增加有关。研究的影响表明，早期，多层次的预防工作是必要的，以阻止启动和促进停止身体侵略随着时间的推移，城市西班牙裔青少年。
This study sought to identify trajectories of physical aggression among urban Hispanic youth, and to examine the effects of risk and protective factors at age 11 on trajectories of physical aggression over time (ages 12–18). Relying on data from 731 urban Hispanic adolescents from Project Northland Chicago (PNC), latent trajectory modeling was used to determine the number of trajectories, and multinomial logistic regression was used to identify the predictors associated with trajectory membership. The results suggested five trajectories of physical aggression (non-aggressive, low stable, escalators, early-rapid desistors, and high aggression/moderate desistors). After adjusting for several risk and protective factors, language preference (e.g. speaking Spanish at home) was identified as a protective factor, while indirect exposure to alcohol, sadness/depression, fewer negative alcohol-related attitudes, and threatening to fight were associated with increased risk for physical aggression. Study implications indicate that early, multilevel prevention efforts are necessary to deter the initiation and promote the desistance of physical aggression over time among urban Hispanic adolescents.
