Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Minnesota, 2000.

Decades of research on adolescent health have produced strong evidence that both individual and social-environmental factors are important determinants of adolescents' health behaviors. The social environment has been defined in various ways; here, the social environment refers to the collection of factors originating outside the individual that affect the individual's life circumstances, self-perceptions and behaviors, as well as the individual's experiences with other individuals, groups and institutions. The interrelationships between individual-level and social-environmental factors are complicated, requiring both conceptual and statistical models to specify multiple levels of influence. In this dissertation, I propose a framework for conceptualizing these relationships. Following a discussion of the framework and its potential applications for both theory and intervention development, I present three related studies designed to test different components of the framework. The first investigated associations of household-level food insecurity (defined as limited or uncertain access to nutritious foods) with eating patterns. Data were obtained from a telephone survey of 287 matched pairs of adults and young adolescents. The second study involved the development and psychometric testing of a survey to measure both social-environmental and individual characteristics of young adolescents. The survey was pilot-tested with 112 middle school students, then revised and administered to 3,878 students in the Teens Eating for Energy and Nutrition at Schools (TEENS) intervention trial. The third study focused on a different behavior---violence---to provide a fuller test of the conceptual framework. This study used multilevel modeling to investigate associations between overall school functioning and adolescents' self-reported violent behavior after adjusting for known individual-level predictors of violence. School-level data were collected from public records and school principal questionnaires, and student-level data came from TEENS baseline and interim surveys. Across the three studies, there was evidence that the social environment comprises measurable constructs and, as suggested by the conceptual framework, some of these constructs do appear to be related to young adolescents' health behaviors. Implications for further etiologic and intervention research are discussed.
