Abstract Leisure is a context for both risk and protection of adolescent\n well-being. Using a person-centered analysis, the present study examined\n the links between after-school time use and the adjustment of an urban\n sample of 7th-12th graders (n = 3,808), who self-reported on their\n leisure activities, school achievement, problem behaviors, and\n happiness. Results indicated that time use patterns were distributed in\n five clusters: Creative/Social, Productive/Home, High-Social/Sports,\n Uninvolved/Sports, and Uninvolved/Home. These patterns of time use\n varied by age, gender and SES, and were linked with adolescent outcomes\n in a way that adolescents involved with multiple constructive activities\n presented better adjustment compared with their either uninvolved or\n socially oriented counterparts. Specific groups of adolescents were at\n higher risk for problem behaviors linked to after-school time use. These\n findings have relevant implications for evidence-based interventions and\n policies aiming at promoting adolescent well-being and targeting at-risk\n populations of youth.
