How their social context shapes their behaviors is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To identify risk and protective factors at the family, school, and individual levels as they relate to 4 domains of adolescent health and morbidity: emotional health, violence, substance use, and sexuality. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis of interview data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 12118 adolescents in grades 7 through 12 drawn from an initial national school survey of 90118 adolescents from 80 high schools plus their feeder middle schools. SETTING: The interview was completed in the subject's home. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Eight areas were assessed: emotional distress; suicidal thoughts and behaviors; violence; use of 3 substances (cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana); and 2 types of sexual behaviors (age of sexual debut and pregnancy history). Independent variables included measures of family context, school context, and individual characteristics. RESULTS: Parent-family connectedness and perceived school connectedness were protective against every health risk behavior measure except history of pregnancy. Conversely, ease of access to guns at home was associated with suicidality (grades 9-12: P 1997 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context <a href="http://doi.org/10.1001/jama.1997.03550100049038" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">10.1001/jama.1997.03550100049038</a> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Article information provided for research and reference use only.
