The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of parenting styles and violent behaviors among at-risk youth referred for a substance abuse evaluation. The study consisted of 536 at-risk youth who have been assessed at the Adolescent Health and Resource Center and 265 parents who completed the Global Appraisal of Individual Needs Collateral Initial (GCI). The data was originally gathered using a cross-sectional survey design and this study analyzed the existing dataset. Data came from two questionnaires: Global Appraisal of Individual Needs Collateral Initial (CGI) for parents. The relationship between parenting style and violent behavior among at-risk youth were evaluated using ANOVAS and Pearson Correlations. The results indicate that parenting style does not significantly affect violent behavior. This finding can be attributed to a small sample size and in imbalanced design.
