Adolescents’ self-identified peer group affiliation consistently has been found to be associated with their health risk behaviors such as involvement in substance use and violence. However, no prospective studies have examined the relations of peer group self-identification in adolescence with problem behaviors in young adulthood among high-risk youth. This ex post facto study examined the association between selfreported peer group affiliation during high school and psychosocial functioning five years later among 532 pretest continuation (alternative) high school students. Students who had self-identified with high-risk peer groups while in continuation high school were more likely than their peers to report involvement in drug use and violence during young adulthood, and they were significantly less likely to have graduated from high school and found stable employment. However, many youth that were at high risk for drug use and violence in young adulthood did not identify with a specific, discrete group (i.e., had been classified as “others” in high school). These results suggest that the perceived influence of peer groups during adolescence can continue into early adulthood and perhaps throughout the life course. Additional work on classification of self-identified peer groups is needed. |
