“…We briefly review this research below. Of note, only two studies have examined bidirectional associations between peer violence and substance use thus far, and these studies focused on violent perpetration [19,23]. Because our study focuses on violence inflicted by or against peers, we omitted studies from our review that examined domestic violence, intimate partner or dating violence, and sexual victimization or perpetration.…”

“…Substance use may disinhibit aggressive impulses and compromise youth's ability to recognize and safely negotiate situations in which violence may occur [19]. Adolescents with multiple sexual partners may be at greater risk for experiencing conflict with peers due to unresolved previous relationships, jealousy, and related tensions [20].…”

“…For example, violence involvement may lead to increases in substance use and sexual behavior over time if engagement in health risk behavior is a means of distracting oneself from or coping with stressful aspects of violence (i.e., stress-response framework [9,[14][15][16][17]). Engagement in substance use and sexual activity with multiple partners may lead to increases in violence involvement over time if these health risk behaviors place adolescents in situations in which violence is more likely to occur (i.e., vulnerability to violence framework [18][19][20]). Documenting longitudinal associations between peer violence involvement, substance use, and sexual behavior is a critical first step to examining whether stress-response and vulnerability to violence frameworks may account for associations between these risk behaviors.…”

“…Adolescents with multiple sexual partners may be at greater risk for experiencing conflict with peers due to unresolved previous relationships, jealousy, and related tensions [20]. It is also possible that adolescents who engage in health risk behavior may increasingly spend time with peers who are engaging [19,23,[31][32], although associations between marijuana use and violent perpetration are often inconsistent or non-significant when adjusting for alcohol use [19,23,32]. In an earlier investigation of the present study's sample, alcohol use at age 14 years was associated with violence involvement one year later, but the violence involvement measure did not distinguish between victimization and perpetration [author citation].…”

Purpose-This study examined longitudinal associations between violence involvement, substance use, and sexual activity. Methods-302 urban Mexican American and EuropeanAmerican adolescents were randomly selected and recruited from the membership lists of a large health maintenance organization. Data were obtained from interviews conducted when the mean ages of adolescents were 15, 18, and 19 years.Results-Independent of age, gender, ethnicity, family socioeconomic status, and previous levels of health risk behavior, adolescents who had been victimized by violence at age 15 were more likely to use tobacco at age 19. Adolescents who had been victimized by or perpetrated violence at age 18 had a greater number of sexual partners and were more likely to use marijuana at age 19. In addition, adolescents who had perpetrated violence at age 18 engaged in greater alcohol use at age 19. A second set of analyses showed that independent of demographics and previous violence involvement, adolescents who had used marijuana at age 15 were more likely to report violence involvement at age 19. Adolescents who had used tobacco or who had a greater number of sexual partners at ages 15 or 18 were more likely to report violent victimization at age 19.Conclusions-Associations between violence involvement and other forms of health risk behavior are bidirectional. Adolescents involved with violence are at risk for increases in substance use and sexual behavior over time. Adolescents who engage in substance use and sexual behavior with multiple partners are also at risk for later violence involvement.Correspondence, Requests for reprints and correspondence should be addressed to Sonya S.

The present study adds to a small literature examining associations between peer violence and other forms of health risk behavior among Latino youth [6][7]. For example, witnessing community violence was associated with greater lifetime drunkenness and likelihood of using cigarettes and marijuana among a representative sample of students in Panama, Costa Rica, and Guatemala [6]. Violent victimization was associated with greater opportunities to use marijuana among students in Mexico City [7]. In the present study, we examined longitudinal associations betwe...

“…Additionally, perpetrators of physical partner violence are more likely to exhibit depressive symptoms than those who do not perpetrate partner violence [32,[39][40][41]. Evidence also suggests that mental illness and addiction co-morbidities are associated with violence, perhaps even more so than are single disorders [7,12,42]. For instance, research suggests that heavy drinking may be more strongly associated with partner violence among men with antisocial personality disorder compared to those without this diagnosis [43].…”

This paper describes an innovative new research program, Researching Health in Ontario Communities (RHOC), designed to improve understanding, treatment and prevention of co-occurring mental health, addictions, and violence problems. RHOC brings together a multi-disciplinary team of investigators to implement an integrated series of OPEN ACCESSChallenges 2011, 2 2 research studies (including pilot studies and full studies). The project involves use a mobile research laboratory to collect a wide range of biological, behavioral and social data in diverse communities across Ontario, Canada, including remote and rural communities, areas experiencing poverty and social disorganization, urban areas, and Aboriginal communities. This paper describes the project background and research plan as well as the anticipated contributions of the project to participating Ontario communities and to broader scientific knowledge.

Because severe mental illness did not independently predict future violent behavior, these findings challenge perceptions that mental illness is a leading cause of violence in the general population. Still, people with mental illness did report violence more often, largely because they showed other factors associated with violence. Consequently, understanding the link between violent acts and mental disorder requires consideration of its association with other variables such as substance abuse, environmental stressors, and history of violence.
