Abstract

Purpose

The patterns or trajectories of serious antisocial behavior (ASB) in children are examined to determine the extent to which context, gender, and the severity and persistence of ASB from childhood/early adolescence to later adolescence/early adulthood is associated with negative outcomes.

Methods

A four wave longitudinal study obtained data on two multi-stage probability household samples of Puerto Rican background children (5–13 years at baseline) living in the San Juan Metropolitan Area of Puerto Rico (PR) and the South Bronx (SBx) of New York. The outcomes studied were any psychiatric disorder including substance use disorders and teenage pregnancy.

Results

Both males and females raised in the SBx had much higher risk of serious ASB (42.3%) as compared to those in PR (17.8%). Concurrent ASB4 + in the fourth wave was strongly related to SUD and MDD for both males and females at Wave 4.

Conclusions

Serious ASB is likely to persist at least to the next developmental period of a child and is likely to be associated with substance use disorders and major depression later in life.

Notes

  1. Chi-square tests were computed in SAS PROC SURVEYFREQ.

  2. These results are consistent to those reported by [55], whose analyses focused on variation of the quantitative ASB index over the first waves, rather than a summary of the childhood-early adolescent period.
