“…Consistent with past findings, compared to the maladapted group, resilient adolescents reported significantly higher scores on the five resilient resources (personality, parent-child communication style, social support, school coherence, and teacher support) measured in the present study (e.g. Hawkins, Graham, Williams & Zahn, 2009;Leontopoulou, 2006;Li et al, 2011). Past studies have also found that resilient adolescents score higher than the maladaptive group on personality (Annalakshmi, 2008;Campbell-Sills et al, 2006;Davey et al, 2003).…”

“…These would include individual factors like self-efficacy, self-control, coping, or self-regulatory processes as well as communitylevel measures such as neighbourhood or community support. Although studies have argued that these community factors may play a crucial role in adolescents' development (Gaylord-Harden, Ragsdale, Mandara, Richards & Petersen, 2007;Hawkins et al, 2009), they have largely been ignored.…”

The present study examined the relationship between stressors, resilience resources, and well-being in adolescents with low socio-economic status in Malaysia. The specific aims were: (i) to differentiate between resilient and non-resilient adolescents in terms of their resilience resources; and (ii) to examine the role of resilience resources on the relationship between stressors and well-being. In a sample of 197 adolescents aged 12-16 years (mean = 13.77, sd = 1.49), results of the k-mean clustering technique identified 37.5% of the adolescents as resilient (high stressor, high well-being), 31.0% as maladjusted (high stressor, low well-being), and the rest, adapted (low stressor, high well-being). Resilient adolescents were found to have significantly higher scores on all the identified resilience resources (personality, mother-child communication, social support, school coherence, and teacher support) compared to the non-resilient maladjusted group. Results of structural equation modelling also showed that these resilience resources acted both as mediator and moderator in the relationship between stressors and well-being. These findings are discussed with respect to the current literature on resilience and well-being.

“…Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, S. Hawkins et al (2009) identified four main protective factors for girls: the presence of a caring adult, school connectedness, school success, and religiosity. However, risk and protective factors interact in complex ways, and some combinations of risk factors can overwhelm otherwise-protective factors.…”

“…Major depression and alcohol/drug dependence have been noted as consistent predictors of attempted or completed suicide (Roy & Linnoila, 1986; Takahashi, 1993), so these indicators would provide more concise measures for future investigations in larger samples of court-involved youth that endorsed STB. Lastly, study findings suggest that one caring adult could protect juvenile offenders, especially girls from engaging in delinquent behavior (Hawkins, Graham, Williams, & Zhan, 2009), so we used this approach in devising the family measure for this study. Future research, which includes a family measure that delineates the differences between types of support persons would be prudent.…”

Background For youth probationers, it is important to understand how mental health and substance use predict their suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) to identify interventions to reduce their psychological distress. Objective In this study, risk and protective factor indicators based on the Youth Assessment and Screening Instrument (YASI) Full Assessment were used to explore STB of youth probationers. The study's overarching aim was to examine the associations of psychological distress and other risk and protective factors with youth probationers' STB based on a Social Determinants of Health framework. Method This cross-sectional secondary analysis reviewed YASI records from a sample of 11,607 probationers of age 12-18 years within a large urban setting. Results The study used logistic regression models to assess risk and protective factors for STB odds (5.79%, n = 672 positive endorsement). African Americans were less likely to report STB, and girls were much more likely than boys to report STB across risk factors. Mental health disorders and substance use increased STB risk. Conclusion The findings underscore the need for screening and treatment of psychological distress for youth probationers. This study discussed these findings, strengths and limitations, and directions for future research.
