abstract="PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to verify the long-term effect of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), school disengagement, and the reasons for leaving  school on adolescent delinquency while adjusting for sex. <br><br>METHODS: Data were  collected from 663 teenagers [male 368, female 295; mean age = 16.81 (SD = 1.10);  age range = 13-19 years] through a Longitudinal Survey and Support Plan for  Dropouts. <br><br>RESULTS: Multivariate latent growth modeling (LGM) demonstrated that ACEs  and school disengagement are positively associated with delinquency and the  mediating effect of school disengagement on association between ACEs and delinquency  was verified. Teenagers who quit school for personal reasons reported fewer  instances of delinquent behavior than adolescents who left because of school  reasons. <br><br>CONCLUSION: This study suggests that researchers and teachers need to  consider ACEs and school disengagement as a warning index for delinquency with  school dropout. In addition, the reason for leaving school should be considered to  clarify the effect of school dropout on delinquency in adolescents who dropout.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
