本研究确定了预测青少年暴力和暴力受害的样本多米尼加青少年（N= 155）在东北部城市社区就读高中。作为更广泛的社区需求评估的一部分，学生们参加了由物质滥用和精神卫生服务管理局资助的物质滥用预防计划的评估。相关性，主成分，多重插补，逐步回归分析系统地开发一个简约的模型，预测多米尼加青年之间的暴力相关行为。研究结果表明，酒精和大麻的早期使用与参与暴力相关行为或成为暴力行为受害者的可能性增加有关。此外，报告安全感降低的学生更有可能参与暴力行为。然而，报告有抑郁症状的青少年不太倾向于参与暴力相关行为。文化量身定制的暴力和药物滥用预防规划工作的影响进行了讨论。
This study identified the predictors of youth violence and violent victimization among a sample of Dominican adolescents (N= 155) attending high school in a northeastern urban community. As part of a broader community-based needs assessment, students participated in an evaluation of a substance abuse prevention program funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Correlations, principal components, multiple imputation, and stepwise regression analyses were systematically employed to develop a parsimonious model for predicting violence-related behaviors among Dominican youth. Findings suggest that early onset of alcohol and marijuana use was associated with an increased likelihood of engaging in violence-related behaviors or being the victim of a violent act. In addition, students who reported a lowered sense of safety were more likely to be involved in acts of violence. However, adolescents who reported depressive symptoms were less inclined to become involved in violence-related behaviors. Implications for culturally-tailored violence and substance abuse prevention programming efforts are discussed.
