House Level Latent Classes as Predictors of Recovery and Evictions
The current study explored whether substance abuse recovery houses could be categorized into meaningful classes, which might be associated with house evictions as well as changes in individual-level recovery capital. A total of 602 individuals from 42 recovery homes were followed for up to 6 data collection periods over 2 years. House level latent class analyses were based on house-level data. A 3-class model fit very well (entropy 0.94) and bett…
Understanding length of stay in recovery homes
Abstinence-specific social support within dyadic relationships is one of the best post-treatment prognostic indicators of recovery and is probably responsible for much of the effectiveness of self-help group participation. Acute treatment after-care in the form of sober-living environments-i.e., recovery houses-provides many opportunities for recovering individuals to acquire such support. However, like most recovery settings, recovery homes do n…

Personal and environmental social capital predictors of relapse following departure from recovery homes
Substance use recovery homes represent the largest residential, community-based post-treatment option for those with substance use disorders in the United States. It is still unclear what unique factors predict relapse after residents leave such homes. This study presents results of a longitudinal study of 497 residents who departed from 42 Oxford House recovery houses. We hypothesized that the predictors of post-departure relapse would be a mult…
Network measures of advice-seeking and resource sharing are related to well-being in recovery homes
Context Matters
The purpose of this study is to contribute to the literature on the prediction of substance use relapse, using sophisticated systems’ approaches to individuals and their contexts. In the current study of 42 recovery homes, we investigated the construct of social capital from the perspective of both recovery home residents and the house level. A confirmatory factor analysis found a latent recovery factor (including elements of recovery capital, co…
Reducing health disparities among black individuals in the post-treatment environment
An important step in reducing health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities with substance use disorders involves identifying interventions that lead to successful recovery outcomes for this population. The current study evaluated outcomes of a community-based recovery support program for those with substance use disorders. Participants included 632 residents of recovery homes in three states in the US. A multi-item recovery factor was fo…
Advice seeking and loaning of money related to relapse in recovery homes
Recovery homes help individuals who have completed substance use treatment programs re-integrate back into the community. However, it is unclear what factors determine who will succeed in these settings and how these factors may be reinforced or undermined by the social interactions and social networks between residents living in the Oxford House recovery homes. In an effort to better understand these factors, the current study evaluated (a) the …
The Role of Sensation Seeking and R-rated Movie Watching in Early Substance Use Initiation
Did limits on payments for tobacco placements in US movies affect how movies are made
This study's correlational data suggest that restricting payments for tobacco product placement coincided with profound changes in the duration of smoking depictions in movies
Effects of Smokefree Class Competition 1 year after the end of intervention
BACKGROUND: The Smokefree Class Competition, a school-based smoking prevention intervention, is widely disseminated in Europe. Participating classes commit themselves to be smoke-free and self-monitor their smoking status. Classes that remain smoke-free for 6 months can win prizes. Effects of the intervention on current smoking, initiation and progression of smoking were investigated. METHODS: Cluster randomised controlled trial. 84 schools (208 …
Trajectories of maternal symptoms of anxiety and depression. A 13-year longitudinal study of a population-based sample
The study shows socio-demographic differences between mothers classified into six trajectory groups based on symptoms of anxiety and depression covering 13 years of the child-rearing period. Specific socio-demographic risk factors characterised mothers in the High-chronic symptom group. Identifying subgroups with enduring problems might inform more targeted preventive efforts
Preventing conduct problems and improving school readiness
Background: School readiness, conceptualized as three components including emotional self‐regulation, social competence, and family/school involvement, as well as absence of conduct problems play a key role in young children's future interpersonal adjustment and academic success. Unfortunately, exposure to multiple poverty‐related risks increases the odds that children will demonstrate increased emotional dysregulation, fewer social skills, less …

Child Anger Regulation, Parental Responses to Children's Anger Displays, and Early Child Antisocial Behavior
Heterosexual risk behaviors in at-risk young men from early adolescence to young adulthood
Health-compromising lifestyles involve stable patterns of behavior and are associated with high-risk social environments and accelerated developmental trajectories. Developmentally, antisocial behavior is associated with such lifestyles. Mediational models predicting a measure of lifetime average sexual risk behavior assessed over a 10-year period (from ages 13-14 to 22-23 years) were examined for a sample of at-risk young men. The measure includ…
Synergistic interaction of child manageability problems and parent-discipline tactics in predicting future growth in externalizing behavior for boys
Manageability problems during early childhood for boys were hypothesized to disrupt parental discipline practices. In turn, disrupted parental discipline practices were hypothesized to interact with manageability problems during late childhood to predict change in antisocial behavior during the transition from elementary to middle school. Results indicated that maternal retrospective perceptions of unmanageability predicted observed maternal disc…
Aggression toward female partners by at-risk young men
Deviancy training was examined as a risk factor for physical and psychological aggression toward a female partner among boys and young men in the Oregon Youth Study. Hostile talk about women during videotaped male friendship interactions was hypothesized to indicate a process by which aggression toward women is reinforced within male peer networks. Both antisocial behavior and hostile talk were predicted to be associated with later aggression tow…
Description and Immediate Impacts of a Preventive Intervention for Conduct Problems
A population‐based randomized intervention trial for the prevention of conduct problems (i.e., oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder) is described. The LIFT (Linking the Interests of Families and Teachers) intervention was designed for all first‐ and fifth‐grade elementary school boys and girls and their families living in at‐risk neighborhoods characterized by high rates of juvenile delinquency. The 10‐week intervention strategy was…
Implications of the restricted range of family environments for estimates of heritability and nonshared environment in behavior-genetic adoption studies
Group and individual-difference adoption designs lead to opposite conclusions concerning the importance of shared environment (SE) for the child outcomes of IQ and antisocial behavior. This paradox could be due to the range restriction (RR) of family environments (FE) that goes with adoption studies. Measures of FE from 2 of the most recent adoption studies indicate that RR is substantial, about 67%, which corresponds to the top half of a normal …
"Comment on "Social contagion, adolescent sexual behavior, and pregnancy
The epidemic model of the onset of social activities (EMOSA model) for adolescent sexuality by J. L. Rodgers, D. C. Rowe, and M. Buster (1998) is examined. Strengths of the model include the nonlinear dynamic specification that seems reasonably realistic and the potential when used as a theoretical tool to generate new hypotheses for further testing at the individual level. Limitations include the lack of a well-developed statistical framework, t…

Latent Variable Modeling of Longitudinal and Multilevel Substance Use Data
This article demonstrates the use of a general model for latent variable growth analysis which takes into account cluster sampling. Multilevel Latent Growth Modeling (MLGR4) was used to analyze longitudinal and multilevel data for adolescent and parent substance use measured at four annual time points. An associative LGM model was tested for alcohol, marijuana, and cigarette use with a sample of 435 families. Hypotheses concerning the shape of th…
Predicting the Timing of First Sexual Intercourse for At-Risk Adolescent Males
Event history analysis was used to test a developmental model of the timing of first sexual intercourse in the Oregon Youth Study sample of adolescent males at risk for delinquency. The event history models spanned grades 7-12 with yearly multimethod, multiagent measures. A 3-step mediational model of predictors was tested, including contextual and process factors and boys' characteristics. Predictors included one-time measures of socioeconomic s…
An Analysis of the Relationship Between Parent and Adolescent Marijuana Use Via Generalized Estimating Equation Methodology
Although longitudinal designs are uniquely suited to the study of individual change over time, standard multivariate statistical methods often perform poorly when faced with common characteristics of longitudinal data such as correlated observations and missing observations. The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate the utility of a generalized estimating equations approach to the analysis of longitudinal data, while investigating the r…
Family, school, and behavioral antecedents to early adolescent involvement with antisocial peers
This study focuses on the prediction of early adolescent involvement with antisocial peers from boys' experiences in school, family, and behavior at age 10. Two hundred and six boys and their families were assessed at school, interviewed, observed in the home, and then followed up at age 12

Emotions as Contexts for Adolescent Delinquency
Emotional expression may provide an ambiance in which parenting occurs and, in this sense, serves as a context that has an indirect impact on child adjustment. This study investigates a mediational model for emotional expression and delinquency in which specific emotions were tested as contexts for parental supervision of adolescents. A model was presented in which the relationship between emotions and later delinquency was fully mediated through…
