Childhood Maltreatment, Trauma, and Abuse and Adolescent Delinquency, United States, 1994-2008

These data are part of NACJD's Fast Track Release and are distributed as they were received from the data depositor. The files have been zipped by NACJD for release, but not checked or processed except for the removal of direct identifiers. Users should refer to the accompanying readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collection and consult the investigator(s) if further information is needed.
This collection features secondary analyses of restricted-use data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), a nationally representative longitudinal study of a sample of U.S. adolescents who were in grades 7-12 in the 1994-95 school year, who were interviewed at three key developmental junctures from adolescence to young adulthood. Self-reported data were used for both maltreatment (measured at the latter two time points) and delinquent or criminal behaviors (measured at all three time points). Linear mixed-effects analyses were used to model growth curves of the frequency of violent and non-violent offending, from ages 13 to 30. Next, maltreatment frequency was tested as a predictor, and then potential protective factors (at peer, family, school, and neighborhood levels) were tested as moderators. Sex, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation were also tested as moderators of delinquent or criminal offense frequency, and as moderators of protective effects.
The study collection includes 1 Stata (.do) syntax file (AddHealthOJJDPAnalysis_StataSyntax.do) that was used by the researcher in secondary analyses of restricted-use data. The restricted archival data from the Add Health survey series are not included as part of this release.

这些数据是美国刑事司法数据档案（NACJD）快速通道发布的一部分，按数据提交者提供的原样分发。文件已由NACJD压缩以供发布，但除移除直接标识符外未进行检查或处理。用户应参考随附的自述文件以了解本数据集所含文件的简要说明，如需进一步信息，请咨询研究者。

本数据集包含对美国青少年到成人健康全国纵向研究（National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health，简称Add Health）受限使用数据的二次分析。Add Health是一项具有全国代表性的纵向研究，样本为1994-1995学年就读7至12年级的美国青少年，他们在从青少年到青年期的三个关键发展节点接受了访谈。自报数据用于分析虐待（在后面两个时间点测量）和 delinquency行为或犯罪行为（在所有三个时间点测量）。研究采用线性混合效应分析（Linear mixed-effects analyses）建模13至30岁期间暴力和非暴力犯罪频率的增长曲线。随后，将虐待频率作为预测变量进行检验，再将潜在保护因素（同伴、家庭、学校和社区层面）作为调节变量（moderator）进行检验。性别、种族/民族和性取向也被检验为 delinquency或犯罪行为频率的调节变量，以及保护效应的调节变量。

本研究数据集包含1个Stata（.do）语法文件（AddHealthOJJDPAnalysis_StataSyntax.do），研究者用于受限使用数据的二次分析。Add Health调查系列的受限存档数据未包含在本次发布中。
