While physical health can impact a variety of outcomes, little research has looked at health and delinquency. Through a lens of GST, this study examines whether health moderates the relationships between strain and delinquency and drug use. Data from the 2011 NSDUH were analyzed; results indicated that, for certain strains, very good and excellent health predicted lower risks of committing some types of delinquency and poor/fair health predicted the higher risk. For youth in “no parent” homes in very good health and from some youth with chronic illness, however, the risk of delinquency increased. The overall results dictate the expansion of health programming and the complex findings suggest increased research on the nexus of health and delinquency.

尽管身体健康会影响多种结果，但很少有研究关注健康和犯罪。通过商品及服务税的角度，这项研究检查了健康是否缓解了劳损，犯罪和吸毒之间的关系。分析了2011年NSDUH的数据；结果表明，对于某些菌株，良好和良好的健康状况预示了某些违法行为的风险较低，而健康状况差/一般的情况预示了较高的风险。但是，对于“无父母”家庭健康状况良好的年轻人以及一些患有慢性病的年轻人来说，犯罪的风险增加了。总体结果决定了健康规划的扩展，复杂的发现表明对健康与犯罪关系的研究有所增加。
