Risk factors for violence and violence-related injuries among 14- to 18-year-old Finns.
A random sample of 14- to 18-year-old Finns (3319 boys, 3890 girls) were sent a questionnaire on the occurrence of violence and violence-related injury. Altogether, 76% responded. Weekly stress symptoms, depressive mood, smoking, drunkenness, peer drug use, previous unintentional injury, and not living with both parents predicted both incidents.
