Predictors of Housing Insecurity in Young Adulthood
Housing insecurity is concerning at any age, but the prevalence and predictors of young adult housing insecurity are poorly described. Multivariable regression analyses using cross-national longitudinal data from a population-based sample tested prospective associations between various adolescent predictors and young adult housing insecurity. Participants from Washington State (United States) and Victoria (Australia) were surveyed at ages 13, 14 …
Continuity and Change in Substance Use Patterns During the Transition from Adolescence to Young Adulthood
The findings underscore the importance of early detection and prevention among adolescents by informing the timing and focus of targeted interventions aimed at reducing substance use escalation into young adulthood
School Influences on Adolescent Depression
This study examined associations between school sector (Government, Catholic or Independent) and depressive symptomology over the secondary school years. Six waves of data collected annually from a representative Australian sample were examined. Multilevel piecewise linear and logistic regression controlling for a variety of demographic variables and protective factors was undertaken. In all sectors, depressive symptomology decreased between 10 a…
Health of Young Adults Experiencing Social Marginalization and Vulnerability
People who experience social marginalization and vulnerability have uniquely complex health needs and are at risk of poor health outcomes. Regression analyses using longitudinal data from a cross-national, population-based sample of young adults participating in the International Youth Development Study, tested associations between social marginalization and vulnerabilities and physical health, mental health, and substance use outcomes. Participa…
Young Adult Development Indicators for Indigenous and Non-Indigenous People
Worldwide, Indigenous youth face ongoing challenges and inequalities. Increasing our understanding of life course patterns in Indigenous youth will assist the design of strategies and interventions that encourage positive development. This study aimed to increase understanding of resilience and positive development in Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth across Australia and the United States of America. The Australian sample comprised 9680 non-In…
A population‐based study of homelessness, antisocial behaviour and violence victimisation among young adults in Victoria, Australia
Homeless young adults are at increased risk for contact with the police and are overrepresented in the justice system. This study explored associations between homelessness, antisocial behaviour and violence victimisation using longitudinal panel data gathered through young adulthood. Data were drawn from a state representative population‐based sample of young adults from Victoria, Australia participating in the International Youth Development St…
Life‐course predictors of homelessness from adolescence into adulthood
INTRODUCTION: Internationally, the prevalence of young adult homelessness is concerning. Few data on life-course predictors from longitudinal studies exist, limiting our capacity to inform prevention strategies at the population-level. METHODS: Data were drawn from a state representative population-based sample of young adults from Victoria, Australia participating in the International Youth Development Study (IYDS; N = 927, 54% female). Particip…
Childhood social environmental and behavioural predictors of early adolescent onset cannabis use
I’ve seen my friend get chopped”
Homeless young adults report being exposed to substantial violence and victimization. This often arises through street culture and norms associated with subcultures of violent behavior. In this exploratory study, we applied a decolonizing lens to conduct semi-structured interviews with 18 young adults experiencing homelessness in Victoria, Australia. In this study, we provide a contemporary description of peer relationships among homeless young a…
Prevalence of homelessness and co-occurring problems
Longitudinal Associations Between the Adolescent Family Environment and Young Adult Substance Use in Australia and the United States
Introduction: Harmful alcohol and cannabis use are social concerns associated with a range of negative outcomes. Prior research has identified links between disrupted parent-child attachment and child-adolescent substance use. Materials and Methods: This study used cross-national data from the International Youth Development Study (IYDS; Victoria, Australia and Washington State, USA) to investigate the relationship between early adolescent family…
I’d rather injure somebody else than get injured”
Homeless young people are at risk for a range of negative health and behavioral outcomes, and they commonly report exposure to physical violence, as both perpetrators and victims. Semi-structured interviews focusing on exposure to physical violence were conducted with 18 homeless young people in Victoria, Australia. Results showed perpetration of physical violence occurred as a form of self-protection. Painful experiences of physical victimizatio…
Reciprocal associations between early adolescent antisocial behavior and depressive symptoms
Examination of associations between informal help-seeking behavior, social support, and adolescent psychosocial outcomes
The impact of transitional programmes on post-transition outcomes for youth leaving out-of-home care
Associations between teaching quality and secondary students’ behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement in school
Sexual Risk Behaviors, Sexual Offenses, and Sexual Victimization Among Homeless Youth
The use of substances among youth experiencing homelessness is an important issue in the context of addressing the developing burden of morbidities arising due to illness, injury, physical and mental health concerns, and low rates of health care utilization among this population group. Youth experiencing homelessness report engaging in and being victimized by various forms of sexual behavior. Of interest in this systematic review were published s…
Risk factors and risk-based protective factors for violent offending
Stealing and Being Stolen From
Homelessness is purportedly a predictor of property offending and property victimization, yet published studies examining this occurrence are scarce. This systematic review collates, summarizes, and appraises published studies reporting the rates of perpetration of property offenses and property victimization, and associations between homelessness and these outcomes. A comprehensive search of psychology, sociology, and health electronic databases…
A systematic review of associations between perpetration of physically violent behaviors and property offenses, victimization and use of substances among homeless youth
Longitudinal Prediction of Mid‐Adolescent Psychosocial Outcomes From Early Adolescent Family Help Seeking and Family Support
This study examined whether family help seeking and family support represented the same or distinct constructs and prospective associations between emergent constructs and psychosocial outcomes. Data were from 1,713 school‐based adolescents participating in a randomized controlled trial, in V ictoria, A ustralia. Family help seeking emerged as a single factor, distinct from family support, and was prospectively associated with improved psychosoci…
Temporal patterns and psychosocial consequences of adolescent help-seeking behaviour
This doctoral thesis presented an investigation of adolescent help-seeking behaviour that is likely to inform future studies examining adolescent psychology. Few prior studies have examined the factor structures of typical social support measures to examine whether family help-seeking and family support are single constructs or can be conceptualised as separate constructs. This three-year longitudinal study investigated the temporal characteristi…
Reassessing the Effects of Early Adolescent Alcohol Use on Later Antisocial Behavior
The effect of early adolescent alcohol use on antisocial behavior was examined at one- and two-year follow-up in Washington, United States and Victoria, Australia. Each state used the same methods to survey statewide representative samples of students (N = 1,858, 52% female) in 2002 (Grade 7 [G7]), 2003 (Grade 8 [G8]), and 2004 (Grade 9 [G9]). Rates of lifetime, current, frequent, and heavy episodic alcohol use were higher in Victoria than Washin…
