For aged-out foster care teenagers (AOTs), the behaviors are especially increased. Purpose: The study purpose was to determine the incidence of alcohol use among AOTs in South Florida and to test four hypothesis measuring the variables of self-perceptions (self-esteem), risk perceptions (costs/benefits), social/environmental perceptions (peer influence), peer group characteristics (peer values), and risk-taking behaviors that would predict alcohol use among AOTs living in South Florida. Theoretical Framework: The biopsychosocial model of adolescent risk-taking behaviors was utilized. This theory provides an integrated framework of antecedents and outcomes culminating in the likelihood of an adolescent participating in risk-taking behaviors. The theory was used for AOTs\u2019 alcohol use. Methods: A nonexperimental, explorative, descriptive and correlational design was utilized to test the relationships and predictive power of selected constructs of the biopsychosocial model of adolescent risk-taking behaviors. A convenience sample of AOTs (N = 74) was recruited from local south Florida agencies that serve AOTs in the community. Results: Hypothesis 1 was not supported. This sample of AOTs in South Florida did not indicate high consumption of alcohol use. Hypothesis 2 was not supported. A significant correlational relationship was found between the scores for the perception of self-esteem and those for the risk perception of costs/benefits regarding AOTs\u2019 consumption of alcohol. Hypothesis 3 was not supported. A significant contribution was found, uniquely or as a linear composite, between the predictor variables of the perception of self-esteem and peer influence toward the scores for peer values/attitude regarding the behavior of alcohol use among AOTs. Hypothesis 4 was not supported. Significance was found between the predictor variables of risk perception of costs/benefits regarding alcohol use and the peer group characteristic of peer values toward alcohol use and the risk-taking behavior of alcohol use among AOTs. Conclusions: This study found moderately strong support for the biopsychosocial theory of adolescent risk-taking behaviors. Study results should prompt additional research and contribute to nursing knowledge and nursing science for AOTs." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "HV5135.L48 2010" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2010" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "HV5135.L48 2010_LevineElizabeth" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001520/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Levine, Elizabeth" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (Ph.D.)--Barry University, 2010.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 95-111)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "xiv, 159 leaves ; 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Elizabeth Levine.
