abstract="This study explores gender-specific patterns and transitions of adolescent substance use and delinquency in a sample of youths at ages 12, 15, and 18 (N = 803). Latent transition analysis identified &quot;Primary Delinquent,&quot; &quot;Delinquency and Substance Use,&quot; and &quot;Low Risk&quot; classes. Females were less likely to be in the &quot;Primary Delinquent&quot; class at age 12 than males. From 15 to 18, females were approximately equally likely to transition from &quot;Primary Delinquent&quot; to both other classes, whereas males were more likely to transition from &quot;Primary Delinquent&quot; to &quot;Delinquency and Substance Use.&quot; These gender differences in behavior can inform services.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
