1.	Alcohol Use Trajectories in Two Cohorts of U.S. Women Aged 50 to 65 at Baseline Journal of the American Geriatrics Society 58,12 (December 2010): 2375-2380. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1532-5415.2010.03180.x/abstract Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Health and Retirement Study (HRS); Women To examine drinking trajectories followed by two cohorts of older women over 8 to 10 years of follow-up. Longitudinal analyses of two nationally representative cohorts using semiparametric group-based models weighted and adjusted for baseline age. Study data were obtained from detailed interviews conducted in the home or by telephone. One cohort included 5,231 women in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) aged 50 to 65 in 1996; the other included 1,658 women in the National Longitudinal Survey (NLS) aged 50 to 65 in 1995. Both cohorts reported any recent drinking and average number of drinks per drinking day using similar but not identical questions. HRS women completed six interviews (one every other year) from 1996 to 2006. NLS women completed five interviews from 1995 to 2003. All trajectory models yielded similar results. For HRS women, four trajectory groups were observed in the model based on drinks per day: increasing drinkers (4.9% of cohort), infrequent and nondrinkers (61.8%), consistent drinkers (25.9%), and decreasing drinkers (7.4%). Corresponding NLS values from the drinks per day model were 8.8%, 61.4%, 21.2%, and 8.6%, respectively. In 2006, the average number of drinks per day for HRS women in the increasing drinker and consistent drinker trajectories was 1.31 and 1.59, respectively. In 2003, these values for NLS women were 0.99 and 1.38, respectively. Most women do not markedly change their drinking behavior after age 50, but some increase their alcohol use substantially, whereas others continue to exceed current recommendations. These findings underscore the importance of periodically asking older women about their drinking to assess, advise, and assist those who may be at risk for developing alcohol-related problems.

2.	The Effect of Differential Fertility on Group Occupational Mobility Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Washington, 1987. Also: http://www.soc.washington.edu/users/herting/hertingcv.pdf Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Fertility; Mobility; Mobility, Occupational; Racial Differences This dissertation incorporates the effects of differential fertility by occupation on social mobility. The dissertation addresses how this demographic factor may influence a sub-population's overall upward or downward movement in the stratification system and how ignoring this factor may influence analyses based upon the father to son mobility table. Using data from the 1973 Occupational Change in a Generation and from the NLS of Older Men and Young Men I examine the mobility experience of fathers and sons for three cohorts of blacks and three cohorts of whites. I employ three distinct techniques: a continuous mathematical representation of the mobility process, a technique that adjusts for differential fertility in the margins of father-son crosstabulations, and a log-linear model which incorporates a dimension that reflects differential supply of sons. Simulations using the mathematical model show interesting effects of a population's initial average occupational status and status distribution. Applied to U.S. blacks, the model shows that for blacks as a whole differential fertility weakens the positive effect of recent changes in social mobility for individual blacks. The technique to adjust for the marginals in an intergenerational mobility table provides further support for the impact of differential fertility on the social mobility of blacks. The log-linear model, however, suggests only slight effects of the dimension representing differential fertility. [UMI ADG88-02249]

3.	Role of Early Childhood Behavior Problems and Initiating Gateway Substance Use Presented: San Francisco, CA, American Society of Criminology Conference, November 2000 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: American Society of Criminology Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Children, Behavioral Development; Modeling, Growth Curve/Latent Trajectory Analysis; Peers/Peer influence/Peer relations; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The paper will use data from the Children of the National Longitudinal Study of Young Women to examine longitudinal patterns in initiating substance use and the role early childhood problems (e.g., ADHD, conduct disorder) pay in this process. Patterns of initiating can be observed from approximately age 10 to 18 with assessments of early childhood behaviors prior to age 10. problems can be juxtaposed against maternal behavior, school behaviors, peer association and other social indicators for individual and family. Latent growth models are used to model the patterns and associations among variables.

4.	The Effects of the Decision to Marry on the Consequences of Adolescent Childbearing: Education, Income and Subsequent Fertility Final Report, Seattle WA: Battelle Human Affairs Research Center, 1986 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Battelle Human Affairs Research Center Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Childbearing; Childbearing, Adolescent; Fertility; First Birth; Marital Status; Racial Differences; Wantedness; Well-Being This report extends an earlier analysis of the consequences of adolescent childbearing (McLaughlin, et. al., 1985). It examines three primary issues: (1) how family and public sector support affected the completion of education; (2) how the economic well-being of teenage mothers is affected by the timing of marriage; and (3) the effect of marriage timing on the spacing and wantedness of the third birth. Using data from the 1979-1982 NLSY, this analysis found that while less than half of all adolescent mothers who became pregnant before completing high school were able to achieve a diploma within two years after the birth, those who remarried in the household of their parents after the birth were more likely to obtain their diploma than adolescent mothers who established separate living arrangements. Secondly, almost 40% of all white adolescent mothers and over two-thirds of all black adolescent mothers were in poverty one year after the birth. When the poverty status of those who marry prior to the birth is compared to the status of those not marrying before the birth, there appears to be an economic gain associated with marriage. However after controlling for the other factors affecting economic well- being, there is no remaining effect of marriage but the effects of living arrangements remain large and significant. Finally, marital status at first birth was found to significantly affect the timing of the third birth only among black women.
