Child Development in the Context of Family and Community Resources: An Agenda for National Data Collections In: Integrating Federal Statistics on Children: Report of a Workshop.

Also: http://www.nap.edu/books/0309052491/html/ Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: National Academy Press Keyword(s): Child Development; Overview, Child Assessment Data In this paper we suggest specific national data collection projects that could improve research on child and adolescent development. Our explicit aim is to encourage continued expansion of both the outcome domains covered and the explanatory variables measured, to enhance the richness and quality of the data obtained, and to improve the representativeness of the samples that are drawn. These improvements would serve both the policy and academic research communities in their efforts to specify and estimate causal models of child, adolescent, and young adult behavior. |

Key Indicators of Child and Youth Well-Being: Completing the Picture London, UK, Psychology Press, August 2007. Also: http://www.psypress.com/9780805863130 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group Keyword(s): Health Factors; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Indicators of child and youth well-being are indispensable tools for improving the lives of children. In this book, the nation’s leading development researchers review the recent progress made in the measurement, collection, dissemination, and use of indicators of child and youth wellbeing. In addition, they identify opportunities for future research to expand and improve on the indicator data available, so as to develop greater measures of positive development. Written in an accessible manner for policy makers, practitioners, and researchers concerned with children’s well-being, including experts in developmental, social, community, and educational psychology, the book also serves as a supplementary text in public policy and the social sciences. The policy chapters will be of particular interest to those who use child and youth indicators to guide policy development.

Disconnected Youth: The Influence of Family, Programs, Peers, and Communities on Becoming Disconnected and on Re-Connecting Child Trends Report Prepared for the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation. Washington, DC, October 2005. Also: http://www.teenfutures.net/sites/default/files/resources/Disconnected%20Youth%20Report.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Child Trends, Inc. Keyword(s): Demography; Disconnected Youth; Family Influences; Health Factors; Poverty; Racial Differences; School Dropouts; Transition, Adulthood; Unemployment, Youth; Work Attachment; Youth Problems Introduction: The transition to adulthood has many bumps in the road. However, for some youth, this transition is especially difficult. Such youth may become disengaged from the worlds of school and work for a lengthy period of time. These youth are often referred to as disconnected. In this research brief, we analyze newly available data that allow us to track for four years the experiences of youth ages 12 to 16 in 1997. |

Indicators of Children's Well-Being New York, NY: Russell Sage Foundation, November 1997. Also: http://www.russellsage.org/publications/titles/indicators_children.htm Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Russell Sage Foundation Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Child Care; Child Health; Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Children, Well-Being; Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Family Resources; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Labor Force Participation; Maternal Employment; Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID); Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) The search for reliable information on the well-being of America's young is vital to designing programs to improve their lives. Yet social scientists are concerned that many measurements of children's physical and emotional health are inadequate, misleading, or outdated, leaving policymakers ill-informed. Indicators of Children's Well-Being is an ambitious inquiry into current efforts to monitor children from the prenatal period through adolescence. Working with the most up-to-date statistical sources, experts from multiple disciplines assess how data on physical development, education, economic security, family and neighborhood conditions, and social behavior are collected and analyzed, what findings they reveal, and what improvements are needed to create a more comprehensive and policy-relevant system of measurement. Today's climate of welfare reform has opened new possibilities for program innovation and experimentation, but it has also intensified the need for a clearly defined and wide-ranging empirical framework to pinpoint where help is needed and what interventions will succeed. Indicators of Children's Well-Being emphasizes the importance of accurate studies that address real problems. Essays on children's material well-being show why income data must be supplemented with assessments of housing, medical care, household expenditure, food consumption, and education. Other contributors urge refinements to existing survey instruments such as the Census and the Current Population Survey. The usefulness of records from human service agencies, child welfare records, and juvenile court statistics is also evaluated. |

Long-Term Consequences for Women of Having a Child During the Teen Years Presented: Washington, DC, Population Association of America Meetings, 1991 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Age at First Birth; Age at First Marriage; Childbearing; Educational Attainment; First Birth; Marriage; Simultaneity; Teenagers Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper focuses on the simultaneous effects of age at first birth, age at first marriage, and highest grade in school among women age 27. The work builds on earlier analyses in three ways. Individual level background characteristics are augmented with contextual variables such as labor market conditions and the incidence of female-headed households. In addition, an estimated strategy is employed that allows us to estimate the simultaneous effects of age at first birth, age at first marriage, and educational attainment, and to account for censoring of age at first birth and first marriage. |
