Data Collection and Harmonization in HIV Research
Large-scale, multisite data sets offer the potential for exploring the public health benefits of biomedical interventions. Data harmonization is an emerging strategy to increase the comparability of research data collected across independent studies, enabling research questions to be addressed beyond the capacity of any individual study. The National Institute on Drug Abuse recently implemented this novel strategy to prospectively collect and har…
Risk and protective factors associated with patterns of antisocial behavior among nonmetropolitan adolescents
This study used latent class analysis (LCA) to identify patterns of antisocial behavior (ASB) in a sample of 1,820 adolescents in a nonmetropolitan region of the Northeast. Self-reported ASBs including stealing, fighting, damaging property, and police contact were assessed. LCA identified four classes of ASB including a non-ASB class, a mild, a moderate, and a serious ASB class. Multinomial logistic regression indicated that parent-child relation…
Social‐Ecological Influences on Patterns of Substance Use Among Non‐Metropolitan High School Students
Patterns of substance use are examined in a sample of over 1,200 youth in a non‐metropolitan region of New England. Self‐reported history and frequency of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, inhalants, pain medications, and other hard drug use was assessed for 9th and 10th grade students. Latent class analyses identified four patterns of substance use: non‐users (22%), alcohol experimenters (38%), occasional polysubstance users (29%), and frequent polys…
Evaluation of the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (Bart) as a predictor of adolescent real‐world risk‐taking behaviours
The Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) was administered to a sample of 26 high school‐aged adolescents to test the utility of the BART as a behavioural measure of risk‐taking propensity. Data indicate that riskyness on the BART was related to self‐reported engagement in real‐world risk‐taking behaviours. These data replicate and uniquely extend past research to an adolescent sample, suggesting that the BART may be a useful addition to self‐report …
