The structure of problem behaviour among Ontario high school students: a confirmatory-factor analysis

Evelyn Vingilis and Edward Adlaf

Addiction Research Foundation 33 Russell Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 2S1

The present study examined the syndrome of Jessor's adolescent problem behaviour, using data from an Ontario province-wide school substance use survey. The study supports the premise that adolescent drinking, problem drinking, drug use, risky driving and delinquency are not isolated behaviours but rather are interrelated with each other. Furthermore, the patterns of correlatedness among problem behaviours are systematic and strong enough to imply that there is a syndrome of adolescent problem behaviour.
