Abstract

Although studies have investigated and found an association between victimization and weapon carrying, few studies have examined the association between exposure to neighborhood violence (NV) and gun carrying among adolescents. The objective of this study was to examine the cross-sectional association between exposure to NV and gun carrying among adolescents. Data for this study came from the 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. An analytic sample of 17,033 adolescents aged 14 to 18 years old (51.7% male) was analyzed using logistic regression with complementary log-log link function. The outcome variable investigated in this study is gun carrying and was measured as a binary variable, whereas the main explanatory variable examined in this study was exposure to NV, which was also measured as a binary variable. Of the 17,033 adolescents, 4.2% carried a weapon during the past year, and 18.7% were exposed to NV. Controlling for the effects of other factors, adolescents who were exposed to NV had more than double the odds of carrying a gun when compared to their counterparts not exposed to NV (adjusted odds ratio = 2.33, 95% Confidence Intervals [1.69, 3.23]). Other significant factors associated with gun carrying include being a male, non-Hispanic Black, being threatened or injured with a weapon, use of alcohol, cigarette smoking, and misuse of prescription opioids. High parental monitoring was protective against gun carrying. The findings of this study underscore the importance of developing age-appropriate intervention strategies to reduce gun carrying among adolescents. School counselors and other professionals working with adolescents in disadvantaged neighborhoods should actively engage parents in assessments and interventions.

美国青少年接触邻里暴力和持枪情况:基于人口的研究结果。
尽管已有研究调查并发现了受害与携带武器之间的关联,但很少有研究调查青少年遭受邻里暴力(NV)与携带枪支之间的关联。本研究的目的是探讨青少年遭受邻里暴力与携带枪支之间的横截面关联。本研究的数据来自 2021 年青少年危险行为调查。分析样本包括 17,033 名 14 至 18 岁的青少年(51.7% 为男性),分析采用了具有互补对数-对数连接功能的逻辑回归。本研究调查的结果变量是携带枪支,以二元变量的形式测量,而本研究的主要解释变量是接触 NV 的情况,也以二元变量的形式测量。在 17 033 名青少年中,4.2% 在过去一年中携带过武器,18.7% 接触过 NV。在控制了其他因素的影响后,与未接触过 NV 的青少年相比,接触过 NV 的青少年携带枪支的几率是未接触过 NV 的青少年的两倍多(调整后的几率比 = 2.33,95% 置信区间 [1.69, 3.23])。与持枪有关的其他重要因素包括男性、非西班牙裔黑人、受到武器威胁或伤害、饮酒、吸烟和滥用处方阿片类药物。父母的高度监督对携带枪支具有保护作用。这项研究的结果强调了制定适合青少年年龄的干预策略以减少青少年持枪行为的重要性。学校辅导员和其他为贫困地区青少年服务的专业人员应积极动员家长参与评估和干预。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Interpersonal Violence is devoted to the study and treatment of victims and perpetrators of interpersonal violence. It provides a forum of discussion of the concerns and activities of professionals and researchers working in domestic violence, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault, physical child abuse, and violent crime. With its dual focus on victims and victimizers, the journal will publish material that addresses the causes, effects, treatment, and prevention of all types of violence. JIV only publishes reports on individual studies in which the scientific method is applied to the study of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Research may use qualitative or quantitative methods. JIV does not publish reviews of research, individual case studies, or the conceptual analysis of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Outcome data for program or intervention evaluations must include a comparison or control group.
