项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Firearm violence is an urgent public health problem. Despite declines in homicide and other violent crime, firearms were involved in the crime-related deaths of more than 350,000 people in the United States in the past decade. Young urban racial/ethnic minorities are disproportionately affected. In the Northwestern Juvenile Project (NJP), our 16-year longitudinal study of juvenile offenders, we found that a large proportion owned a gun, perpetrated firearm violence, and/or were victims of firearm violence. Many juvenile offenders become parents when young; their children are at great risk for firearm involvement and victimization. Yet there are remarkably few data on how parents' involvement with firearms—during their own adolescence and young adulthood—influences their children's risk. We propose to leverage prospective data—already collected on our original participants—to conduct the first large-scale study of how high-risk parents' current and past involvement with firearms (ownership, perpetration of violence, and victimization) influences that of their adolescent children. We will interview 900 participants: n=450 high-risk youth (children of adolescent offenders), ages 12 to 15 years, and their parents, n=450. We chose ages 12 to 15 years because it is a critical developmental period for the initiation of firearm involvement. We have 4 aims: (1) to examine patterns of firearm involvement in urban high-risk adolescents (children of juvenile offenders, G2); (2) to examine their parents' (G1) involvement with firearms; (3) to examine how parents' firearm involvement influences that of their children; and (4) to identify risk and protective factors that moderate and mediate the relationship between the parent and child's involvement with firearms. The proposed prospective study has several key features: (1) the sample will include enough parents with a history of involvement with firearms (including victimization and perpetration) to examine its influence on their children; (2) the sample is predominantly socioeconomically disadvantaged African Americans and Hispanics, groups who face the most grievous consequences of firearm violence; (3) the design will allow us to examine multilevel data on risk and protective factors from individuals, families, peers, and communities; and (5) the study uses a mixed-methods approach to identify protective factors that could be used as targets for developing innovative preventive interventions. The investigation will provide data responding to: (1) the National Academy of Medicine's priorities for research to reduce the threat of firearm-related violence; (2) Healthy People 2020's objective to reduce firearm-related deaths or reduce weapon carrying by adolescents on school property; and (3) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's priority to identify and evaluate strategies to decrease inappropriate access to and use of weapons by minors, and to prevent lethal violence.

项目摘要/摘要枪支暴力是一个紧急的公共卫生问题。尽管凶杀和其他暴力犯罪有所下降，但在美国，枪支参与了350,000多人与犯罪有关的死亡过去十年。年轻的城市种族/族裔少数民族受到不成比例的影响。在西北少年项目（NJP），我们对少年罪犯的16年纵向研究，我们发现很大一部分拥有枪支，犯有枪支暴力和/或对枪支暴力的惊人。许多少年罪犯年轻时成为父母；他们的孩子有枪支参与和胜利的危险。然而关于父母如何参与枪支的数据，很少有数据 - 在自己的青少年和年轻的成年 - 造成孩子的风险。我们建议利用预期数据 - 已准备就绪在我们的最初参与者中 - 首次大规模研究，关于高风险父母的当前和过去参与枪支（所有权，暴力犯罪和胜利）会影响其青春期的孩子。我们将采访900名参与者：n = 450名高风险青年（青少年的孩子罪犯），年龄在12至15岁之间，他们的父母n = 450。我们选择12至15岁的年龄，因为这是关键枪支参与计划的发展时期。我们有4个目标：（1）检查枪支参与城市高风险青少年（少年罪犯的孩子，G2）；（2）检查他们父母（G1）参与枪支；（3）检查父母的枪支参与如何影响他们的孩子；（4）确定适度和调解关系的风险和保护因素在父母和孩子参与枪支之间。拟议的前瞻性研究有几个关键功能：（1）样本将包括足够的父母，有枪支参与的历史（包括胜利和犯罪）检查其对孩子的影响；（2）样本主要是面对最痛苦的团体，受到社会经济困扰的非裔美国人和西班牙裔人物枪支暴力的后果；（3）设计将使我们能够检查有关风险和保护性的多层次数据个人，家庭，同伴和社区的因素；（5）研究使用混合方法方法确定可以用作开发创新预防干预措施的目标的保护因素。该投资将提供响应数据：（1）美国国家医学院的优先事项减少与枪支有关的暴力威胁的研究；（2）健康人2020的目标减少与枪支有关的死亡或减少青少年在学校财产上携带的武器；（3）和中心疾病控制和预防的优先级，以识别和评估策略以减少不适当未成年人使用和使用武器，并防止致命暴力。
