Social Awakening: Adolescent Behavior as Adulthood Approaches New York, NY: Russell Sage Foundation, 2001 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Russell Sage Foundation Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Alcohol Use; Dating; Drug Use; Educational Attainment; Family Characteristics; Family Influences; Family Studies; Geographical Variation; Income; Parents, Single; Racial Differences; Sexual Behavior; Teenagers Jacket: Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, a survey of more than 9,000 12-16 yr olds, this book explores the choices adolescents make about their lives and their futures. It focuses on the key role the family plays as teenagers navigate the transition from childhood to adulthood. This book analyzes a range of adolescent behaviors and issues that affect teenagers' lives, from dating and sexual behavior, drug and alcohol use, and physical and mental well-being, to their career goals and expectations for the future. It is argued that the findings strengthen one's understanding of how an array of family characteristics (single parenthood, income, educational level, race, and geographic location) influence teens' lives.
