Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis to Estimate the Burden of Non-Fatal and Fatal Overdose Among People Who Inject Drugs Living in the United States and Comparator Countries: 2010 – 2023
BACKGROUND: People who inject drugs (PWID) have high risk for overdose, but there are no current estimates of overdose rates in this population. We aimed to estimate rates of non-fatal and fatal overdose among PWID living in the United States (US) and comparator countries (Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Australia), and ratios of non-fatal to fatal overdose rates, using literature published 01/01/2010 - 09/29/2023. METHODS: PubMed, PsycINFO, Emba…
Prescription Opioid Misuse and Use of Alcohol and Other Substances Among High School Students — Youth Risk Behavior Survey, United States, 2019
Adolescence is an important period of risk for substance use initiation and substance use-related adverse outcomes. To examine youth substance use trends and patterns, CDC analyzed data from the 2009-2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. This report presents estimated prevalence of current (i.e., previous 30-days) marijuana use, prescription opioid misuse, alcohol use, and binge drinking and lifetime prevalence of marijuana, synthetic marijuana, cocai…
Sexual Violence Against Female and Male Children in the United Republic of Tanzania
During a household survey in Tanzania, a nationally representative sample of females and males aged 13-24 years reported any experiences of sexual violence that occurred before the age of 18 years. The authors explore the prevalence, circumstances, and health outcomes associated with childhood sexual violence. The results suggest that violence against children in Tanzania is pervasive, with roughly three in 10 females and one in eight males exper…
Gender Role Discrepancy Stress, High-Risk Sexual Behavior, and Sexually Transmitted Disease
A Systematic Qualitative Review of Risk and Protective Factors for Sexual Violence Perpetration
The current review summarized results of 191 published empirical studies that examined the risk and protective factors for sexual violence perpetration. Studies in the review examined factors for perpetration by and against adolescents and adults, by male and female perpetrators, and by those who offended against individuals of the same sex or opposite sex. Factors associated with child sexual abuse (CSA) perpetration were not included. In all, 2…
Symptoms of Depression in Israeli Adolescents Following a Suicide Bombing: The Role of Gender
This report investigated the potential role of gender in moderating the effects of terror attack exposure on depression symptoms in middle school students from Dimona, Israel ( N = 90). Specifically, the effects of three aspects of terror attacks were investigated: physical exposure, relational exposure, and media exposure. Ninety early adolescents were assessed for terror exposure and depression before and after a suicide bombing in a town marke…
Israeli Adolescents Exposed to Community and Terror Violence: The Protective Role of Social Support
This study investigates how social support may protect Israeli early adolescents who have witnessed community violence from engaging in violent behavior when they have also witnessed terror violence. The study examines how support from parents, school, and friends could serve as protective, despite the interactive risk effects of witnessing community and terror violence. In general, results indicate that support from parents operated as a protect…

Aggressive Behavior and Quality of Friendships: Linear and Curvilinear Associations
The current study investigates linear and curvilinear associations between overt aggressive behavior and the adolescents’ reports of the quality of their friendships over time. Moderation by gender was also investigated. The sample consisted of 246 boys and 253 girls from the sixth and seventh grades of a large public middle school. Findings suggested a curvilinear association between aggression and friendship quality for boys such that nonaggres…
Toward a Transactional Model of Parent-Adolescent Relationship Quality and Adolescent Psychological Adjustment
The present study includes externalizing problems, internalizing problems, mother-adolescent relationship quality, and father-adolescent relationship quality in the same structural equation model and tests the longitudinal reciprocal association among all four variables over a 1-year period. A transactional model in which adolescents' internalizing and externalizing problems are negatively related to the quality of adolescents' relationships with…
Schools, Parents, and Youth Violence: A Multilevel, Ecological Analysis
Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), this study utilized an ecological approach to investigate the joint contribution of parents and schools on changes in violent behavior over time among a sample of 6,397 students (54% female) from 125 schools. This study examined the main and interactive effects of parent and school connectedness as buffers of violent behavior within a hierarchical linear model, foc…
