Comorbidity of substance use and post-traumatic stress disorders in a community sample of adolescents
A study of 384 18-year-old adolescents living in the community demonstrated a frequent co-occurrence of substance use disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder. Multiple pathways appeared to lead to this comorbidity, which was associated with widespread psychological impairment that might have serious developmental consequences. Implications for research and practice are discussed
Risk factors for depressive symptoms in late adolescence
In a longitudinal study, following a community sample (N = 386) from age 5, early risk factors for depressive symptomatology at age 18 were examined separately for females and males. For females, predictors included low birthweight and death of a parent; for males, they included emotional dependency and internalizing behavior problems. Depressive symptomatology at age 15 emerged as an important risk factor for both genders. Clinical implications …
Early risk factors for serious antisocial behavior at age 21
Data collected over a period of 18 years were analyzed vis-a-vis risk factors for serious antisocial behavior in 375 young adults living in the community. Early aggression and hostility, acting-out behavior, academic difficulties, and negative family environment were identified as precursors of later deviance, and different patterns were found for males and females
The long-term sequelae of child and adolescent abuse
Practitioners’ use of single system evaluation
This study describes the results of a survey on the use of clinical evaluation principles and procedures among social work practitioners. As part of the second‐year research curriculum in their master's degree program, these practitioners had been involved in a year‐long course and project experience in single system methodology as applied to non‐behavioral practice. Findings support the effectiveness of this research experience in helping gradua…
Antisocial Behavior in Adolescence
In a sample of 404 White adolescents (mean age 14.5 years) from working-class families, striking similarities were found for both genders in levels and correlates of antisocial behavior. Aggressive conduct was most strongly associated with delinquent behavior. Also, both genders reported interpersonal difficulties with intimate relationships and family, including large numbers of breakups with close friends and escalating numbers of arguments wit…
The Many Faces of Correlates of Depressive Symptoms in Adolescents
In a sample of White working-class adolescents, 21% scored above 12 on the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), with almost twice as many girls as boys in the high-CDI group. Maternal and adolescent reports indicated deficits in most areas of adolescent functioning in the high-CDI group. Within the high-CDI group, no differences in social class and family structure were found. No gender differences emerged for most correlates of depressive symp…
School aptitude and achievement in children of adolescent mothers
Effects of Marital Disruption on Children's School Aptitude and Achievement
The effects of marital disruption on the academic aptitude and achievement of fourthgrade children were examined by comparing children in three types of families: early disrupted single-mother, recently disrupted single-mother, and never disrupted two-parent families. The data are from a longitudinal study of a community population of school children. Outcome measures were tests of aptitude and achievement at grade 4, teacher and parent ratings o…
Gender differences in learning and adjustment problems in school
Results of a community study suggest that boys entering school had more problems with aggression and information processing than did girls. Later differences in learning and adjustment largely reflected the high proportion of boys among children receiving psychological services. Girls who received psychological services were less likely than boys to get special education help
Behavioral and emotional functioning in children of adolescent mothers
This study compared children of mothers in three age groups--15-17, 18-19, and 20-24 years--at the birth of their first child. Outcome measures were ratings of psychological functioning obtained at three time periods from multiple sources. Results, controlling for family structure and maternal education, indicate that children of adolescent mothers were generally not different from children of mothers in their early twenties with respect to behav…
Clinical assessments and maternal judgments
Mothers and clinicians, both of whom play key roles in securing mental health services for children, have been found to differ in their ratings of children's adjustment. While this finding is confirmed by the present study, ratings made by social workers based on a structured interview with mothers prior to their children's kindergarten entry indicate a number of significant relationships with measures of children's school and behavioral adjustme…
Marital Disruption
Recent research has demonstrated the importance of assessing the effects of marital disruption on the psychological functioning of children in the context of family characteristics and situations. However, few studies have been able to address this issue in a study of a community population. This article examines the effects of marital disruption on behavioral and emotional functioning in a cohort of thirdgrade children, using ratings of psycholo…
