The Influence of Family Structure on Social Outcomes Presented: Washington DC, American Evaluation Association Annual Conference, October 2013 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Evaluation Association Keyword(s): Crime; Dropouts; Family Structure; Health Factors; Sexual Activity; Substance Use; Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97) provides a wealth of data on youth as they transition into adulthood, including information about their family structure. In this presentation, the author will present results of his investigation of the relationship between a youth's family structure (i.e., intact, blended, divorced, and never-married families) on a variety of social outcomes including dropout, substance abuse, sexual behaviors, health habits, and crime. This investigation will include both a summary of the literature on the influence of family structure on social outcomes, as well as the results of quantitative analyses to describe the marginal influences of family structure on each type of outcome. Implications of these findings will be discussed, especially as they relate to family engagement. |
