School Health Predictors of the School-to-Prison Pipeline: Substance Use and Developmental Risk and Resilience Factors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of the study is to establish prospective relationships among school mean levels of substance use, developmental risk and resilience factors, and school discipline.

Methods

We linked 2003-2014 data from the California Healthy Kids Survey and the Civil Rights Data Collection, from more than 4,800 schools and 4,950,000 students. With lagged multilevel linear models, we estimated relationships among standardized school average levels of six substance use measures; eight developmental risk and resilience factors; and the prevalence of total discipline, out-of-school discipline, and police-involved discipline.

Results

School mean substance use and risk/resilience factors predicted subsequent prevalence of discipline. For example, a one-standard deviation
