A series generalized ordered logistic regressions assess how different features group context are linked to adolescent offending. Models examine relationship presence co-offender perceptions their...
Abstract Although prior studies have identified several risk factors for gun carrying, no longitudinal examined a comprehensive set of explanatory together in within-individual change models or whether the predictors carrying across adolescence and early young adulthood. The present study fills these gaps by examining predictive utility any associations vary age. sample included 1216 men who were arrested first time during (approximately 15 years old) interviewed regularly 5 (until...
It is widely believed that there a crisis of confidence in law enforcement the United States. What remains to be seen, however, whether adolescents actually differentiate between legal authorities and other types authorities.

ObjectiveTransition Age Youth (TAY), aged 18-25 years, face barriers to medication treatment for opioid use disorder (MOUD) resulting in lower retention. We evaluated OUD prevalence and MOUD receipt comparing TAY adults 26 or older residing rural settings.MethodElectronic Health Records (October 2019 - January 2021) 36,762 patients across six primary care clinics involved a large feasibility trial US communities were analyzed. All implemented standardized intervention. Mixed effects...
Neighborhood disorder has been linked to perceptions of shorter life expectancies, and expectancies have associated with greater risk‐taking. Yet, no studies combined these two pathways. Using data from the longitudinal Crossroads study, present study assessed whether expectancy mediates association between neighborhood risk‐taking—substance use, crime, risky sex—among 1,093 justice‐involved adolescents. Results indicate that was lower estimated which in turn related higher rates cigarette...
Extracurricular activities (ECAs) have been found to promote positive youth development and protect against misconduct minor delinquency. However, little research has examined whether ECA participation predicts delinquency among at‐risk young men or considered how delinquent behavior, in turn, impacts participation. This study extracurricular over three years a sample of 1,216 justice‐involved ( M age = 15.29). Approximately half the participated each year. A cross‐lagged panel model was...
In software design, the various stakeholders generate large numbers of heterogeneous artifacts. These artifacts are often developed in, and managed by, different tools. this paper, we present our initial prototype Linecept, a tool that helps organize, find, view disparate design by organizing them on timeline presents single unified who created them. We have used Linecept to retrospectively capture for its own creation in class.
We aim to determine whether there are racial/ethnic differences in the association between binge drinking frequency and community-based alcohol treatment among justice-system-impacted adolescents young adults.We examined race/ethnicity moderated relation youths' likelihood of receiving treatment.
