“…[1][2][3][4] Current study findings are also consistent with substantial research indicating that violence experienced during adolescence increases risk for involvement in high risk behaviors such as criminal activity/deviance, 3,31 drug and alcohol use, 14,22,23 and violence perpetration, [32][33][34] as well as a number of negative health and psychosocial effects 19,20,22,35 in adulthood. More specifically, a number of studies focusing on street violence involvement as well as violence perpetrated against an intimate partner have highlighted men's previous experiences as victims to be a significant factor driving these forms of violence perpetration later in life.…”

The purpose of this study is to determine if experiences of physical violence during early and late adolescence (12-21 years) places urban Black males at increased risk for interpersonal violence perpetration beyond young adulthood (30 years and older). Participants of this cross-sectional study were Black and African American men (N0455) between the ages of 30 and 65 years, recruited from four urban clinical sites in the Northeast. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the relation of adolescent experiences of violence to: (1) past 6 month street violence involvement and (2) past year intimate partner violence perpetration. Ten percent of the sample reported that they experienced adolescent victimization. Men reporting adolescent victimization were significantly more likely to report past 6-month street violence involvement (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR)03.2, 95 % CI01.7-6.3) and past 6 month intimate partner violence perpetration (AOR02.8, 95 % CI01.8-5.4) compared to men who did not report such victimization. Study findings suggest that in order to prevent adulthood perpetration of violence, more work is needed to address experiences of victimization among young Black males, particularly violence experienced during adolescence.

Background: Despite considerable research on violence and unintentional injuries among Jordanian students that focused primarily on those aged 13 -15 years, very little attention has been paid to such injuries regarding 15 -19 year-old students. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of violence and unintentional injuries, among the Jordanian school students aged 15 -19 years, and to compare the patterns of these behaviors between male and female students. Materials and Methods:This descriptive-analytic cross-sectional study comprised 750 secondary school students and carried out on randomly selected eight comprehensive secondary schools (four schools for females and four schools for males) from the public educational directorate located in Amman. A modified Arabic version of the general school health survey questionnaire was used to measure violence-related behaviors and unintentional injuries. Results: The findings showed that 26.8% of students had been physically attacked. Overall, 43.3% of students were involved in a physical fight and 20.1% were bullied. Overall, 45.3% of students sustained serious injuries, of whom 31.2% were engaged in playing or training for sports, 35.6% were injured in a fall, and 60.3% hurt themselves by accident, with broken bone or dislocated joint presenting the most serious injuries. There was a difference between male and female students regarding physical attack, physical fight, and injuries. Conclusions: It is necessary to implement an effective school health program including social and physical environments that promote safety and prevent injuries and violence.

“…Suicide rates have seen the most dramatic increase (39%) within the 10-to 14-year-old age range during the past 20 years (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2001). Studies have shown that adolescent risk behaviors tend to cluster or overlap (Donovan & Jessor, 1985;Dryfoos, 1990;Osgood, Johnston, & O'Malley, 1988), particularly in the areas of substance use, sexual risk-taking, and violence Valois, MacDonald, Bretous, & Fischer, 2002;Valois, Oeltmann, Hussey, & Waller, 1999), and more than likely, youth developmental assets (Reininger et al, 2003). Teenagers today reach puberty two or three years earlier than in 1900, and young people have vastly increased access to improved transportation and communication technologies.…”
