Violence is a major part of life in today's society. In the United States, adolescents sustain violent victimization at higher rates than other age groups. Research has found that exposure to community violence is related to psychological and behavioral problems. However, few studies have focused on the moderators that influence the relationship between exposure to community violence and adolescent adjustment problems. This study examined the effects of exposure to community violence on adolescent negative adjustment (depressive symptoms, self-esteem, violent behavior, delinquency, and substance use). Guided by the ecological framework, the potential moderators in this study were chosen to represent different ecological factors that may influence adolescent risk behavior. These were self-esteem (ontogenic ecology), family-parent connectedness (microsystem), school connectedness (microsystem), and neighborhood collective efficacy (exosystem).

520 $a Violence is a major part of life in today's society. In the United States, adolescents sustain violent victimization at higher rates than other age groups. Research has found that exposure to community violence is related to psychological and behavioral problems. However, few studies have focused on the moderators that influence the relationship between exposure to community violence and adolescent adjustment problems. This study examined the effects of exposure to community violence on adolescent negative adjustment (depressive symptoms, self-esteem, violent behavior, delinquency, and substance use). Guided by the ecological framework, the potential moderators in this study were chosen to represent different ecological factors that may influence adolescent risk behavior. These were self-esteem (ontogenic ecology), family-parent connectedness (microsystem), school connectedness (microsystem), and neighborhood collective efficacy (exosystem).
520 $a The present study was a secondary data analysis using public-use data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), Wave 1 (1994), Wave 2 (1995), and Wave 3 (2001). Latent growth curve analyses revealed that exposure to community violence was related to adolescent depressive symptoms, delinquency, and substance use at the beginning of the study, and to adolescent violent behavior, delinquency, and substance use over time, after accounting for adolescent's gender, ethnicity, and age. Results of the moderating effects showed that self-esteem moderated the relationship between exposure to community violence and depressive symptoms and substance use. Family-parent connectedness moderated the relationship between exposure to community violence and delinquency. Neighborhood collective efficacy moderated the relationship between exposure to community violence and violent behavior. These findings suggest multilevel interventions based on the ecological model, which incorporate individual, family, and neighborhood factors, may have long-lasting effects on exposure to community violence and adolescent adjustment. Future work should examine other potential protective factors which influence exposure to community violence and various negative outcomes.
