Violent victimization and drug involvement among Mexican middle school students

Abstract: It is possible to trace back the association between violent victimization and drug use to differences in exposure to opportunities. Limitations considered, this study suggests interventions to improve micro and macro contexts, such as families, schools and communities, so young people can have better places to live and develop.

“…Our findings add to literature showing that violence involvement is associated with other forms of health risk behavior among Latino youth [6][7]. Our lack of statistically significant interactions between study variables and ethnicity may reflect our adjustment for socioeconomic status, or inadequate power to detect ethnic differences in the strength of associations between violence involvement, substance use, and sexual behavior that are independent of socioeconomic status.…”

“…, and some data suggests they are more likely to experience negative health consequences of substance use [12]. 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].

No obstante, los resultados son consistentes con otras investigaciones longitudinales que sugieren asociación entre uso de tabaco con perpetración de la violencia en el tiempo (Ramos-Lira, Gonzalez-Forteza y Wagner, 2006;Brady, Tschann, Pasch, Flores y Ozer, 2008).
