Abstract
Purpose: Fifty to sixty percent of adolescents report lifetime use of alcohol and illicit drugs and 36% have been in a physical fight at least once in the course of a year. Previous studies have demonstrated alcohol and drug use to be correlates of physical fighting among adolescents. However, little is known about the co-occurrence of adolescents being under the influence of alcohol or drugs while engaged in a physical fight. The objectives of this study were to determine: 1) the prevalence of physical fighting while under the influence of alcohol or drugs and 2) the associations between demographic factors, other risk behaviors, and physical fighting while under the influence of substances.
