Partner and Grandmother Contact in Black and White Teen Parent Families Journal of Adolescent Health 13,7 (November 1992): 546-552. Also: http://www.jahonline.org/article/1054-139X%2892%2990367-K/abstract Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Child Care; Child Development; Fathers, Absence; General Assessment; Grandmothers; Home Environment; Household Composition; Mothers, Adolescent; Mothers, Education; Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT); Racial Differences; Teenagers Studied contact of 338 teen mothers (aged 14-29 yrs) with grandmothers and partners as a predictor of maternal and middle childhood developmental outcomes. Each child (aged 6-7.9 yrs) was given a developmental assessment. Black teens lived longer with their parents after the child's birth, while White teens married earlier and had more disruptions in their relationships. Grandmother assistance with childcare was positively associated with the mother's ability to pursue her education. Findings suggest that child developmental problems may occur when mothers routinely rely on grandmother assistance into middle childhood, particularly for White families.
