DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Involvement in health risk behaviors is particularly salient during adolescence, which is not surprising given the specific developmental challenges faced during this time (for parents and adolescents). The primary aim of this research will be to assess, over time, how failure to negotiate key developmental challenges faced by adolescents drive some adolescents to become involved with peers who engage in health risk behaviors, in turn driving their own involvement in such behavior. It is hypothesized that involvement in health risk behavior will put the adolescent at risk for physical health problems. Several mediating and moderating models will be examined. The study will be conducted using a large sample (N=200) of court-referred adolescents (ages 11-16), both youth and parent report will be used. Obtaining this sample will significantly add to the existing research, for they are often understudied, particularly with respect to health issues, and will add to the understanding of a high risk population. The proposed developmental approach to understanding adolescent health risk behaviors has the potential to inform scientific understanding regarding the nature of adolescent, family, and peer roles in determining level and outcome of adolescent health risk behaviors.

描述（由申请人提供）：在青春期，参与健康风险行为特别突出，考虑到这段时间（对于父母和青少年）面临的特定发展挑战，这并不奇怪。这项研究的主要目的是评估，随着时间的推移，如何失败的谈判所面临的关键发展挑战的青少年驱动一些青少年成为参与同龄人谁从事健康风险行为，反过来又推动自己参与这种行为。据推测，参与健康风险行为将把青少年的身体健康问题的风险。几个调解和调节模式将进行审查。 本研究将使用法院推荐的青少年（11-16岁）的大样本（N=200）进行，将使用青少年和家长报告。获得这一样本将大大增加现有的研究，因为它们往往是研究不足，特别是在健康问题方面，并将增加对高风险人群的了解。提出的发展方法来了解青少年健康风险行为有可能告知科学的理解，在确定青少年健康风险行为的水平和结果的青少年，家庭和同龄人的角色的性质。
