“…The results of the studies that did focus on separate diagnoses have not been consistent. For example, Velez et al (1989) concluded that the risk factors studied were related more to the externalizing than to the internalizing diagnoses, whereas Williams et al (1990) failed to provide strong support for differences in background characteristics among children with different diagnoses. For this reason, additional research is needed to increase our knowledge of the predictive value of psychosocial risk factors in young children.…”

“…Concerning the child-related factors, Velez et al (1989) reported that stressful life events are important risk factors for both internalizing and externalizing disorders. Low-level parental occupation (Campbell, 1995;Kalff et al, 2001a), family size (Williams et al, 1990), race (Costello et al, 1996), family structure (Velez et al, 1989), low maternal age at delivery (Orlebeke et al, 1998), and maternal depression (Lavigne et al, 1998) are important family-related risk factors. Although the environment in which a child grows up is a potential risk factor for behavioral problems (Kalff et al, 2001b), little is known about its influence on DSM-based diagnoses (Hermanns and Leu, 1998).…”

“…Participation in risk-taking behaviours such as smoking and drinking is also associated with young people's material, cultural and relational contexts (Schoon and Bynner, 2003), and social deprivation and poverty are associated with teenage pregnancy, school exclusion and antisocial behaviour (Fish, 2009). Additionally, low maternal age when the young person was born (Williams et al, 1990) and growing up in a step-family (Sweeney, 2010) have been found to increase the risk of poor behavioural outcomes.…”

Predictors of Social Service Contact among Teenagers in England

Very few UK studies make use of longitudinal general population data to explore social service contact for children and young people. Those that do only look at specific interventions such as care placements. This paper seeks to address this gap by asking to what extent do structural, neighbourhood, familial and individual characteristics predict social service contact? We provide an empirical answer by analysing the Longitudinal Survey of Young People in England, which includes data on social service contact in connection with young people's behaviour. Our findings indicate that social class, gender, ethnicity, stepfamily status and special education needs are all significant predictors of social service contact. Difficult parent-child relationships, frequent arguments and parents' lack of engagement with school meetings also matter, as does young people's own risktaking behaviour. We conclude with a discussion of the limitation of the data for social work research and the implications of the findings.

“…Coherent with this theorizing empirical validity of methodological approaches using cumulative risk indices has been demonstrated (Deater-Deckard, Dodge, Bates, & Pettit, 1998;Stoddard et al, 2013;Williams, Anderson, McGee, & Silva, 1990). This argumentation is in line with the notion that independent of the specific type of risk behaviour this might be driven by a general underlying risk factor or propensity for displaying risky behaviours (Donovan & Jessor, 1985;Jessor, 1991Jessor, , 2013.…”

Adolescents’ experience of offline and online risks: Separate and joint propensities

Adolescence is a period of increased risk experience and ever more often these occur online.The current study aims to investigate whether adolescents' online and offline risk experiences are driven by the same general propensity to risks. Data from a representative study of N = 19,406 (50% girls) internet-using 11-16 year olds (M = 13.54, SD = 1.68) youth in Europe were subjected to the current analyses. Three confirmatory factor analyses were applied to measures of offline and online risk experiences (five each). A bi-factor model of a general risk factor and two specific factors of online and offline risks was shown to provide the best theoretical and empirical fit. All risk experiences loaded significantly on the general risk factor while additionally all offline risks loaded significantly on the offline risk factor.However, none of the online risks loaded significantly on the online risk factor. Online risks could not be explained by factors that go beyond a general propensity to experience risks suggesting that new technologies do not bring with them a new type of risk propensity driven by that environment. Interventions should target risk and protective factors that can account for adolescents' experiences across risk types (online and offline).
