Note. Numbers based on subsample of youth who spent at least 30 days outside a secure facility at each timepoint. Recall periods are six months for Time 1-6 and twelve months for Time 7-10. Average frequency of gun carrying was calculated by dividing the number of times a participant carried by the number of street months in a recall period.
