Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Pubertal development is a well-established risk factor for adolescent boys’ substance use, delinquency, and other problem behaviors. However, there is a lack of research on whether the association between pubertal development and problem behavior operates similarly for boys from different racial and ethnic backgrounds and whether these relationships persist beyond early adolescence. These issues have important public health implications and deserve more systematic empirical attention. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, this paper examines racial and ethnic differences in the longitudinal association between perceived pubertal development (i.e., early, on-time, or late) and problem behavior for black, Hispanic, and white boys. In particular, we model the moderating effects of racial and ethnic background on the association between boys’ perceived pubertal development and substance (e.g., tobacco, alcohol, marijuana) use and delinquency (e.g., property, violent) outcomes beginning at ages 12-15 and later at ages 19-22. The results of the study contribute to both theoretical and public policy discussions of racial and ethnic differences in the short- and long-term consequences of pubertal maturation.
