TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Group self-identification as a prospective predictor of drug use and violence in high-risk youth JO - Psychology of addictive behaviors A1 - Sussman, Steve A1 - Dent, Clyde W. A1 - McCullar, W. J. SP - 192 EP - 196 VL - 14 IS - 2 N2 - This study provides a 1-year prospective analysis of group self-identification as a predictor of adolescent drug use and violence. Youth identified with discrete groups. In most comparisons, 1 year later, a high-risk group reported greater levels of drug use and violence-related exposure than other groups, and the statistical relation between group self-identification and drug use or violence remained after baseline assessment of the drug use or violence measure was controlled for. This is the 1st study to demonstrate that group self-identification is a significant prospective predictor of drug use and other problem behaviors.
