Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This is a report of one of four coordinated analyses from longitudinal data sets tracking development of youth in high-risk settings and analyzed to identify promising risk predictors, promotive factors for successful development, and protective factors in the face of risk factors. The current study utilizes the 8 waves of the Chicago Youth Development Study that followed 362 males residing in the inner-city, from ages 11 to 26, using interviews with parents and the child, observational data, and archival records to assess cognitive features and attitudes of the child, family functioning and stress, school conditions and engagement, peer relations, and neighborhood characteristics. These repeated measures are used to model risk for violent behavior using a risk and protective factors framework. In addition to initial steps to identify within sample contributors to risk, we also identify contributors that acted to significantly reduce risk for violence as a main effect (promotive factors) and protective and exacerbating factors defined by impact through interaction with risk or promotive influences. Results are presented with consideration of variation by community type based on extent of poverty and social problems (inner-city versus other urban-poor), ethnicity (African-American versus Latino), and marital status of parents/father involvement. Implications for identification of at-risk segments and preventive/promotive strategies for youth in high-risk communities will be discussed. In addition, how these findings are consistent with or vary from findings in the other presented studies will be discussed.
