Epidemiological surveys have provided key information about the
prevalence and degree of seriousness at different ages of a wide
array of problem behaviors such as delinquency, substance use,
early sexual involvement, and mental health disorders. Knowledge of
the extent of these problems and changes in their course over time
is important. In its absence, interventions and health planning in
general can be difficult. Understanding which risk and protective
factors are relevant to which problem behaviors is also essential
for the formulation of theories that constitute the basis of
intervention. This book draws on the results of the major
Pittsburgh Youth Study complemented by follow-up tracking of
juvenile court records for more than six years, to address the
following questions: *What is the prevalence and age of onset of
delinquency, substance use, and early sexual behavior for three
samples of boys age 8, 11, and 14? What are the average mental
health problems for these ages? How strong are the relationships
among these problem behaviors in each of the samples? *Which
variables best explain individual differences among the boys in
their manifestations of delinquency, substance use, early sexual
behavior, and mental health problems? To what extent do explanatory
factors vary with age? How accurately can boys with different
outcomes be identified by risk scores based on hierarchical
multiple regressions? *To what extent are explanatory factors
associated with one outcome that are also associated with other
outcomes? Are explanatory factors that are especially
characteristic of a multiproblem group of boys--who display many
different problem behaviors--different from explanatory factors
associated with boys with few problems? *Do the results fit a
general theory of juvenile problem behaviors, or is a
differentiated theory more applicable?
