“…There has been disagreement as to the role of peer substance use on violence [33, 34]; however, these results support the argument that peer marijuana use directly effects violence. Relatedly, another interesting finding was observed regarding the role of individual alcohol use on distinguishing trajectories.…”

Purpose To understand the etiology of violence among ethnically-diverse men using a nationally representative and longitudinal sample of youth. Methods Participants included 4,322 adolescent men followed from ages 13 to 32 from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). Trajectories of violence were estimated, and multinomial regression procedures were used to evaluate multiple domains of risk and protective factors for violence. Results Three profiles of violence (non-violent, desistors, and escalators) were identified. There were no substantial differences in the patterns of violent behavior across race/ethnicity; however, the prevalence of violence differed by racial/ethnic group. After accounting for violent behavior at Wave I, peer marijuana use (OR = 1.20), alcohol use (OR = 1.50), group fighting (OR = 2.23), and Wave I violence (OR = 4.34) were identified as risk factors for desistance, while only Wave I violence predicted escalation (OR = 2.27). Conclusions Three trajectories of serious violence, including a late-onset group, were identified; however, few risk and protective factors were associated with membership in this group. Risk and protective factors for violence prior to age 13 should be targeted for prevention.

“…There has been some disagreement as to the role of peer substance use on adolescent violence (Hawkins et al, 2000; Mattila, Parkkari, & Rimpela, 2006). This study provides support for the argument that peer substance use indirectly effects violence, which is largely mediated through individual-level drug and alcohol use.…”

To estimate trajectories of violence using a longitudinal sample of adolescents, considering the effects of multiple domains of influences as differentiators between profiles of violent behavior. A nationally representative sample of 9,421 adolescents ages 15–26. Trajectories were estimated, and multinomial regression procedures were used to evaluate factors predicting membership in high-violence trajectory groups. Mediation analyses were conducted to evaluate the mediated effect of distal influences on violence. Three groups of violence trajectories were identified: (a) nonviolent (73.1%); (b) escalators (14.6%); and (c) desistors (12.3%). Peer alcohol use predicted both escalation and desistance; however, these effects were mediated through individual-level variables. Aside from baseline violence, no other risk factor predicted membership in the “escalator” group. The lack of significance in predicting escalation highlights the need for further study on the etiology of late onset violence. Implications for violence prevention are discussed.

“…In cross-sectional investigations, risk taking behaviour, physical activity and team sports were also related to injuries [ 12 , 13 ]. Using cross-sectional study designs, the authors have previously shown that poor health and health compromising behaviour are significant risk factors for less severe injuries, while socioeconomic status is only weakly related to injuries in Finland [ 14 , 15 ].…”
