1.	Why Do Some Adolescents Have Risky Sex? The Role of Family Background, Childhood Behaviors and Adolescent Relationships Presented: Atlanta, GA, Population Association of America Annual Meetings, May 2002 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Contraception; Life Course; Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT); Sexual Activity; Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs); Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. More than half of American youth have had sexual intercourse by the time they turn 18. Despite recent increases in condom use among adolescents, many teens fail to engage in "safe" sexual practices and hence put themselves at risk of both unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Using a life course perspective and data from the NLSY from 1979 through 2000, we explore the question of why some youth engage in risky sex whereas others either abstain from intercourse altogether, or engage in safe sexual practices at various ages between 15 and 20. Drawing on our own previous research findings, as well as the findings of others concerning the importance of romantic relationships to the likelihood of sexual intercourse, we pay particular attention to how relationship profiles in early adolescence might relate to later patterns of sexual behavior, and to potentially important differences in relationship trajectories and sexual practices by race and gender.

2.	Anchoring of American Families to their Homes and Neighborhoods: Determining Factors of Residential Mobility Working Paper, Department of Soctiology, The Ohio State University, 2002. Also: http://www.canpopsoc.org/2002/hango_2002.pdf Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Department of Sociology, The Ohio State University Keyword(s): Geocoded Data; Hispanics; Home Ownership; Mobility; Neighborhood Effects; Residence Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This current research views family residential mobility as a potential strategy that families may use to improve their relative socioeconomic and geographic position. The focus here is on predicting the avenues and barriers to mobility, both in terms of distance and also between poor and nonpoor neighbourhoods. A driving assumption is that 'upward' moves from poor to nonpoor neighbourhoods are beneficial to the well-being of children, while downward' moves have the opposite effect. Longitudinal data from the US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth linked mother-child files are combined with data from the 1990 US census to assess the salient factors that predict mobility between 1988 and 1994. Black and Hispanic families are less likely to leave poor neighbourhoods for nonpoor ones, and are also more likely to move from nonpoor neighbourhoods to poor ones. Homeownership is an impediment to residential mobility regardless of distance moved, or neighbourhood poverty level at origin and destination, and mother's prior delinquency appears to inhibit 'upward' geographic mobility. The findings are discussed in terms of how they affect racial residential segregation and the well-being of children.

3.	Marital Disruption and Childhood Accident Propensity: The Role of Aggression and Parental Relationship Working Paper, Department of Sociology, The Ohio State University, June 2000 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Department of Sociology, The Ohio State University Keyword(s): Accidents; Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Child Health; Divorce; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Injuries Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. EXCERPT: In investigating the effects of divorce/separation and childhood/aggression, we will look to see whether the quality of the mother-child relationship alters the effects. Although there is some evidence for the relevance of parent-child relations for medically attended accidents/injuries in childhood (Rivara 1995; Matheny 1988), the mediating role that it plays in the relationship between divorce/separation and childhood aggression and between divorce/separation and accident/injuries has not been examined. Thus, a final objective of this work is to shed light on the dynamic among parental divorce/separation, quality of the mother-child relationship, childhood aggression, and the occurrence of medically attended accident/injuries among children by considering the role of possible mediating factors.

4.	The Effect of Neighborhood Poverty and Migration on Behavior Change in Children Presented: Minneapolis, MN, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, May 2003 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Geocoded Data; Migration; Neighborhood Effects; Poverty Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Research suggests that children are affected by their surroundings. Poor neighborhoods lead to fewer resources, less access to socioeconomically advantaged neighbors, and more behavioral challenges. Families in poor neighborhoods can undertake many strategies to improve the life chances of their children. One such strategy, which may reduce the prevalence of problematic behavior, is to move into a more affluent neighborhood. Residential mobility programs such as Gautreaux and Moving to Opportunity were designed to address this concern. The current research uses the NLSY linked mother-child files and the 1990 U.S. Census to assess the effect of residential mobility and neighborhood poverty on changes in childhood behavior problems between 1988 and 1994. Findings reveal that moving increases child behavior problems, regardless of the poverty level of the origin and destination neighborhood. The largest increase is witnessed for those children who move 'down' from nonpoor to poor neighborhoods.

5.	The Effect of Neighborhood Poverty and Residential Mobility on Child Well-Being Ph. D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, Ohio State University, 2003. Also: http://etd.ohiolink.edu/view.cgi?acc_num=osu1069324610 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Armed Forces Qualifications Test (AFQT); Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Behavior, Antisocial; Census of Population; Child Development; Children, Well-Being; Family Characteristics; Geocoded Data; Mobility; Mothers, Behavior; Mothers, Education; Neighborhood Effects; Poverty; Residence; Self-Esteem The goal of this work is to examine how child and adolescent well-being are influenced by family mobility and neighborhood quality. Both of these factors have been shown to influence the overall well-being of youth, by altering successful behavioral development. Moving and high poverty neighborhoods often increase behavior problems. The connection between these two processes has not been looked at previously, except among families participating in very selective residential mobility programs (e.g. Gautreaux and Moving to Opportunity). I address several questions. Does child behavior change as a result of family mobility? Does neighborhood context pre- and post-move have any bearing on the change? Finally, does mobility have different effects on behavior depending upon when they are measured? That is, do the effects surface immediately after the move, or is there a lagged effect, with change not being seen for several years? I overcome limitations from past research by combining a nationally representative sample of children from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth's linked mother-child files with the 1990 US census. Together these data allow for the measurement of child behavior and neighborhood poverty both before and after the move. I find that moving, when measured without taking neighborhood context into account, has no effect on the negative behavior of children and adolescents. However, once neighborhood context is considered, the effect of mobility on child behavior changes. Several important effects are noted, which vary by the class context of the origin and destination neighborhoods. First, moving from a poor to a nonpoor neighborhood reduces negative behavior. Second, this positive impact diminishes four years after the move. Third, moving to a higher poverty neighborhood, or to another poor neighborhood, increases a child's negative behavior. Fourth, these harmful effects do not manifest until four years post-move. Finally, moving between two non poor neighborhoods has no effect on child behavior. These results suggest that it is important to include contextual factors of the origin and destination neighborhood when studying the effect of residential mobility on children. Also, it is beneficial to measure behavior change immediately, as well as several years after a family moves.

6.	Marital Disruption and Accidents/Injuries among Children Working Paper, Department of Sociology, The Ohio State University, June 2000 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Accidents; Child Health; Divorce; Economic Changes/Recession; Fathers, Absence; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Household Composition; Injuries; Marital Disruption; Parenting Skills/Styles Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Also presented: Los Angeles, CA, Population Association of American Meetings, March 23-25, 2000. A vast literature has examined the effects of marital disruption on child well-being, but medically attended childhood accidents/injuries has not been considered an outcome. This paper investigates this association as well as possible intervening pathways using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Findings reveal that marital disruption decreases girls' accidents/injuries. Boys are not directly affected. For boys, the positive relationship between marital disruption and accidents/injuries is mediated by maternal parenting practices, namely, use of discipline and display of approval.

This article investigates this association as well as possible intervening pathways using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-linked mother-child file. Findings reveal that marital disruption decreases girls' accidents/injuries. Boys are not directly affected. Parenting practices, childhood aggression, and mprecipitous drops in household income appear to do little to the relationship between marital disruption and childhood accidents/injuries for boys. For girls, however, the potential benefits of a marital disruption are suppressed until considering mother's use of discipline and household income decline. Results are discussed in terms of stress theory and the effect of mother-daughter versus mother-son dynamics following marital disruption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

8.	Surprising Effects of Marital Conflict and Disruption on Children's Health Presented: Washington, DC, American Sociological Association Meetings, August 2000 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Child Health; Divorce; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Marital Conflict Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper investigates the effect of inconsistency between parental marital conflict and disruption on children's health using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Two alternative hypotheses, the stress vulnerable hypothesis and the stress resistant hypothesis, provide the basis for the analysis. The results support the stress resistant hypothesis, and, therefore, challenge the widespread notion that marital conflict and disruption have only adverse effects for children. We find that children's health is enhanced when minimal marital conflict preceded disruption and when marital conflict is high but there is no disruption. The positive effects are for boys only. There are no significant effects for girls.

This article investigates the effect of inconsistency between parental marital conflict and disruption on children's health. Inconsistent situations arise when minimal marital conflict precedes disruption or when marital conflict is high but there is no disruption. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, two alternative hypotheses, the stress vulnerable hypothesis and the stress resistant hypothesis, are tested. The latter hypothesis is based on recent evidence in the medical field. The results support the stress resistant hypothesis in that boys' health is enhanced when there is inconsistency between marital conflict and disruption. There are no significant effects for girls. The widespread notion that marital conflict and disruption have only adverse effects for children is challenged by the findings in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

10.	Gender and Race Differences in the Determinants of Early Adolescent Relationships: Evidence from the NLSY Presented: Washington, DC, Population Association of America Annual Meetings, March 2001 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Fathers, Presence; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Sexual Activity; Sexual Behavior; Siblings Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this research, we use unique longitudinal data from the 1979 through 1998 rounds of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79) and its linked child data set to explore the process by which family background and the development of early relationships may or may not translate into early sexual activity. Specifically, we follow a large national sample of youth from ages 11 or 12 to ages 15 or 16. All of the youth we follow are virgins as of ages 13 or 14. We examine the determinants of losing virginity between ages 13-14 and 15-16. Our particular focus in this paper is to explore the extent that there are meaningful generalizations regarding the determinants and the process that can be made across race and gender groups. That is, to what extent do black and white boys and girls follow common developmental pathways with regard to incipient sexual activity, and to what extent are there important factors that are suggestive of variations that may be socially based? In essence, using logit techniques, we try to untangle the independent paths between children's earlier environment, their early adolescent relationship networks, and their propensity to become sexually active by mid-adolescence.
