Developmental Associations of Racialized Experiences and Attitudes in the 20s with Health Status Approaching Midlife
BACKGROUND: Multiple studies have shown an association of experiences of racial discrimination with adverse health outcomes, but relatively few have investigated the health consequences of expressions of discriminatory attitudes or racial animus. This study examined the breadth and persistence of links between racism and health, including how experiences of and expressions of racial discrimination and animus, as well as ethnic belonging, in the 2…
Prospective Associations between Childhood Exposure to Living with Adult Alcohol Misuse and Major Depressive Disorder in Adulthood: The Role of Child Maltreatment
Background Many children grow up with adult alcohol misuse in the home. A clearer understanding of this exposure’s long-term mental health consequences and the role of associated child maltreatment experiences and potential protective factors could guide relevant intervention strategies.Objective To prospectively evaluate the association between living with adult alcohol misuse during childhood and major depressive disorder (MDD) during adulthood…

Parents’ Perceptions of Adolescent Exposure to Marijuana Following Legalization in Washington State
Parents' experiences in Washington State provide valuable lessons for social work practitioners, policymakers and those developing preventive interventions. Prevention efforts and public health messaging should begin before legalization takes effect to support parents in preparing for changes in their social and physical environments, and should seek to incorporate parenting strategies to monitor and intervene when children are exposed to marijua…
Young Adult Unemployment and Later Depression and Anxiety: Does Childhood Neighborhood Matter
Longitudinal associations among depression, substance abuse, and crime: A test of competing hypotheses for driving mechanisms
Adolescent Age of Sexual Initiation and Subsequent Adult Health Outcomes
Objectives. To examine the mechanisms of the association between age of sexual initiation and adult health. Methods. Data from the Seattle Social Development Project (n = 808), in Seattle, Washington, included outcomes when participants were in their 30s (2005–2014): substance use disorders, depression, poor health, and obesity. Sexual consequence mediators included sexually transmitted infection, adolescent pregnancy, and a high number of sexual…
Neighborhood, Family, and Peer Factors Associated with Early Adolescent Smoking and Alcohol Use
Neighborhood Typologies Associated with Alcohol Use among Adults in Their 30s: A Finite Mixture Modeling Approach
An Examination of Alcohol Use Disorder Symptoms and Neighborhood Disorganization from Age 21 to 39
Highlights Neighborhood disorganization predicted increased severity of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) symptoms. Neighborhood disorganization predicted increased likelihood of experiencing psychological distress. Psychological distress partially mediated the association of neighborhood disorganization and AUD. Associations persisted net of important risk and protective factors for AUD
Trajectories of marijuana use from adolescence into adulthood: Environmental and individual correlates
This study sought to identify trajectories of marijuana use in the Seattle Social Development Project (n = 808) sample from age 14 through 30, and to examine the extent to which individuals in these trajectories differed in their substance use problems, mental health, problem behavior, economic outcomes, and positive functioning at age 33. In addition, analyses examined between-trajectory differences in family, peer, school, neighborhood, individ…

The Developmental Dynamics of Joining a Gang in Adolescence: Patterns and Predictors of Gang Membership
Researchers have examined the predictors of adolescent gang membership, finding significant factors in the neighborhood, family, school, peers, and individual domains. However, little is known about whether risk and protective factors differ in predictive salience at different developmental periods. The present study examines predictors of joining a gang, tests whether these factors have different effects at different ages, and whether they diffe…
Effects of Timing of Adversity on Adolescent and Young Adult Adjustment
Effects of Timing of Adversity on Adolescent and Young Adult Adjustment Abstract Exposure to adversity during childhood and adolescence predicts adjustment across development. Further, adolescent adjustment problems persist into young adulthood. This study examined relations of contextual adversity with concurrent adolescent adjustment and prospective mental health and health outcomes in young adulthood. A longitudinal sample (N = 808) was follow…
Ethnic and Gender Variation in Religious Involvement: Patterns of Expression in Young Adulthood
This study used latent class analysis (LCA) to empirically derive profiles of religious involvement among a sample of 808 young adults and describe ethnic and gender differences within such religious involvement patterns. Items on the Duke Religion Index (DRI) were included as part of a larger longitudinal survey of emotional, physical, and behavioral health. The scale measured the organizational, nonorganizational, and intrinsic dimensions of re…
Influence of a Family‐Focused Substance Use Preventive Intervention on Growth in Adolescent Depressive Symptoms
Preparing for the Drug Free Years (PDFY) is a preventive intervention that targets parenting behaviors, family interaction patterns, and adolescent substance use, factors that have been shown to predict depression among teenagers. Effects of PDFY on trajectories of self‐reported adolescent depressive symptoms from 6th through 12th grade were examined. Latent growth curve modeling was used to analyze data from 429 rural adolescents from schools as…

Unique Influence of Mothers and Fathers on Their Children's Antisocial Behavior
The social development model (Catalano & Hawkins, 1996) was adapted to examine the unique influence of mothers and fathers on their children's antisocial behavior. Analyses examined 325 families with sixth-grade children. Structural equation modeling was used to assess unique influences of constructs specific to mothers or fathers. Multiple-group comparisons were conducted to identify differences in the relationships between constructs for daught…
Comparing Delinquency Careers in Court Records and Self‐reports
Most knowledge about delinquency careers is derived from official records. The main aim of this paper is to compare conclusions about delinquency careers derived from court referrals with conclusions derived from self‐reports. Data are analyzed from the Seattle Social Development Project, which is a prospective longitudinal survey of 808 youths. Annual court and self‐report data were available from age 11 to age 17 for eight offenses. The prevale…
Early Adolescent Predictors of Youth Violence as Mediators of Childhood Risks
Analyses were conducted to assess whether risk factors for youth violence measured at 10 years of age influenced later violence directly or indirectly through predictors measured in early adolescence (14 years of age). Analyses revealed that many childhood risks—which included teacher-rated hyperactivity/low attention, teacher-rated antisocial behavior, parental attitudes favorable to violence, involvement with antisocial peers, low family income…
Modeling Mediation in the Etiology of Violent Behavior in Adolescence: A Test of the Social Development Model
The social development model seeks to explain human behavior through specification of predictive and mediating developmental relationships. It incorporates the effects of empirical predictors (“risk factors” and “protective factors”) for antisocial behavior and seeks to synthesize the most strongly supported propositions of control theory, social learning theory, and differential association theory. This article examines the fit of the social dev…
Preventing Adolescent Health-Risk Behaviors by Strengthening Protection During Childhood
OBJECTIVE: To examine the long-term effects of an intervention combining teacher training, parent education, and social competence training for children during the elementary grades on adolescent health-risk behaviors at age 18 years. DESIGN: Nonrandomized controlled trial with follow-up 6 years after intervention. SETTING: Public elementary schools serving high-crime areas in Seattle, Wash. PARTICIPANTS: Of the fifth-grade students enrolled in p…
Effects of a preventive parent-training intervention on observed family interactions: Proximal outcomes from preparing for the drug free years
Children are especially vulnerable to the initiation of substance use and other problem behaviors as they move from childhood into early adolescence. This is true for children living in urban and rural areas alike. A number of family-related factors have been identified that contribute to the risk for or protection against such problems. This article reports the results of an experimental test of the effects of Preparing for the Drug Free Years (…
Toward a Measure of Patriotic and Nationalistic Attitudes
