Parenting, Adolescent Substance Use, and Delinquency

描述（由申请人提供）：本文拟对1997年全国青少年纵向调查（以下简称NLSY97）的二级数据进行分析，以解决一些研究问题，这些问题涉及父母教养特征（包括父母方式、监控和支持）与物质使用轨迹（烟草、酒精、大麻）和犯罪之间的跨时间关系，这些问题涉及全国早期青少年过渡到青春期中期的青少年样本。在1997年11-14岁的青少年中，将采用队列序列设计来捕捉1997-2000年四次年度测量浪潮中物质使用和犯罪的变化模式。这个队列序列，或加速纵向，设计将有助于从11-17岁的物质使用和犯罪的轨迹建模。本提案的子样本将包括1997年11-14岁的4,095名儿童，其中包括黑人青年（24%,n=986）和西班牙裔青年（21%,n=863）的过采样。NLSY97包含了大量年龄较大的青少年（1997年15岁及以上），但由于设计的原因，许多对本提案目标有实质性兴趣的养育措施并没有在整个时间内一致地实施，因此没有被选择纳入本应用程序。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Secondary data analyses of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1997 (hereafter referred to as NLSY97) are proposed to address several research questions related to the cross-temporal relationships between features of parenting (including parental style, monitoring, and support), and trajectories of substance use (tobacco, alcohol, marijuana) and delinquency with a national sample of early adolescents in transition to middle adolescence. A cohort-sequential design will be used to capture patterns of change in substance use and delinquency across four annual waves of measurement spanning 1997-2000 for youth 11-14 years of age in 1997. This cohort-sequential, or accelerated longitudinal, design will facilitate the modeling of trajectors of substance use and delinquency from ages 11-17. The subsample focused on in this proposal will include 4,095 children who were ages 11-14 in 1997 and includes an oversampling of black (24%, n=986) and Hispanic (21%, n=863) youth. The NLSY97 contains a larger number of older adolescents (ages 15 and above in 1997), but by design many of the parenting measures of substantive interest to the goals of this proposal were not consistently administered across time and hence were not selected for inclusion in this application. The goals of the proposal are: (1) to evaluate the influence of parenting dimensions on the growth of delinquency and substance use in early adolescence to determine if these influences are similar across ethnic and gender groups; (2) to examine bidirectional relationships between delinquency and substance use across time using both cross-lagged latent variable analyses and dual latent growth modeling; and (3) to conduct latent growth mixture modeling with delinquency and substance use variables to identify heterogeneous trajectories and to identify their common and unique predictors. Other significant predictors to be included in the specified statistical models enumerated above will include a broad range of SES variables, peer deviance, and early exposure to witnessing violence.
