新出现的研究表明，接触暴力，特别是间接形式的暴力，与参与儿童福利（CW）系统的青年之间的物质使用之间的关联。然而，这只是最近才进行了试探性的探索。这项研究审查了参与化学武器系统的青年分组之间各种形式的间接暴力接触和药物使用之间的关联。分析样本包括第二次全国儿童和青少年福祉调查（2008-2012年）基准年的参与者（11岁或以上），包括青年及其照顾者。潜在类别分析被用来检查不同形式的间接暴力暴露和药物使用之间的关联，以及独特的风险群体的潜在识别。总体样本的模型表明，有两类风险的青少年，风险较高的群体有更高的酒精、大麻和硬性毒品使用的概率，这与更高的被捕、偷窃、毒品交易和使用武器的概率相吻合。然而，分层模型显示，13-14岁和15-17岁青年的结果是独特的，这表明这些风险的汇合似乎在发展过程中有所不同。预防和干预服务的CW涉及青年应评估和解决青少年之间的暴力暴露类型作为一个潜在的机会，以减轻药物使用和随后的高风险行为。
Emerging research suggests an association between exposure to violence, specifically indirect forms, and substance use among youth involved in the child welfare (CW) system. However, this has only been recently and tentatively explored. This study examined the associations among various forms of indirect violence exposure and substance use among subgroups of youth involved in the CW system. The analytic sample consisted of participants (aged 11 years or older) in the baseline year of the second National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (2008–2012), including youth and their caregivers. Latent class analysis was used to examine associations among distinct forms of indirect violence exposure and substance use and the potential identification of unique at-risk groups. Models for the overall sample suggested two classes of at-risk youth, with the higher-risk class having higher probabilities of alcohol, marijuana, and hard drug use, which coincided with higher probabilities of exposure to arrests, stealing, drug deals, and weapon use. However, stratified models suggested unique results for youth aged 13–14 and 15–17, suggesting that the confluence of these risks appears to differ developmentally. Prevention and intervention services for CW-involved youth should assess and address violence exposure types among youth as a potential opportunity to mitigate substance use and subsequent high-risk behavior.
