The dimensions of mental health and violence among students in 9th to 12th grade

Abstract

This study focuses on the several dimensions of violence and mental health within high school students. Using the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS), the evidence suggests 3 unique subpopulations within high school students with the third group having elevated rates of violence and mental health issues. Latent class analysis was the primary analysis used for this study. A document named “Capstone.pdf” is attached and contains all the R code that was used for this data analysis.
