目的：虽然先前的研究在确定危险枪支相关行为的相关性及其对暴力和伤害的影响方面取得了进展，特别是在青少年时期，但尚不清楚个体如何随着时间的推移而改变他们的枪支携带行为，或者携带的发展特征如何影响以后的生活经历和成就。使用1997年全国青年纵向调查（NLSY 97）的数据，我们描绘了美国城市中手枪携带的年龄特异性模式，并调查了手枪携带的起始年龄，持续时间和时间如何影响刑事犯罪，物质使用，结果：在美国城市，个人的手枪携带行为随着时间的推移存在着重要的异质性。携带手枪的发展特点是显着的预测消极的生活结果在各个domain.Conclusions：携带枪支的个人不应该被假定为一个一般类型。如果我们考虑到这种行为的发展异质性，那么预防危险的枪支相关行为和相关的负面长期后果的努力可以更好地针对性。
Purpose: Although previous research has made progress in identifying correlates of risky gun-related behavior and its impact on violence and injury, particularly during adolescence, it is not clear how individuals differ in their gun carrying behavior over time or how developmental features of carrying affect experiences and accomplishments later in the life.Methods: Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), we delineated age-specific patterns of handgun carrying in the urban United States and investigated how onset age, duration, and timing of handgun carrying affected criminal offending, substance use, police arrest, and educational and economic achievements in established adulthood.Results: There is important heterogeneity in individuals' handgun carrying behavior over time in the urban United States. Developmental features of handgun carrying are significant predictors of negative life outcomes in a variety of domains.Conclusions: Individuals who carry firearms should not be assumed as of one general type. Efforts to prevent risky gun-related behavior and associated negative long-term consequences can be better targeted if we take into account developmental heterogeneity in such behavior.
