Violent Behaviors and Family Income among Adolescents. NSDUH Report

摘要

This issue of The NSDUH Report contributes to these efforts by examining past year violent behavior among adolescents by several sociodemographic and school-related characteristics, such as family income, age, gender, and grades in school. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) asks youths aged 12 to 17 (i.e., adolescents) to report on their involvement in three types of violent behaviors during the 12 months before the interview: getting into a serious fight at school or work, participating in a group-against-group fight, and attacking others with the intent to seriously hurt them. All findings are annual averages from combined 2004 to 2008 NSDUH data.
