Association Between Parenthood and Problem Behavior in a National Sample of Adolescent Women Pediatrics 85,6 (June 1990): 1044-1050. Also: http://www.pediatrics.org/cgi/content/abstract/85/6/1044 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Academy of Pediatrics Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Behavioral Problems; Deviance; Drug Use; Illegal Activities; Mothers; Parental Influences; Racial Differences; Runaways; Rural Sociology; Rural Youth; Rural/Urban Differences; School Suspension/Expulsion; Substance Use; Truancy The association between problem behaviors and parental status was studied among 1263 urban and 388 rural 15- to 17-year old teens from the NLSY. The three parental status groups appeared ordered in risk, with school-age mothers having engaged in the most problem behaviors, followed, in turn, by young adult mothers (those who had a child between 19-21 years of age) and then women who had not had a child by age 21. When individual behaviors were analyzed, school-age mothers were more likely than either young adult mothers or non-mothers to have reported school suspension, truancy, runaway, smoking marijuana and fighting. Urban women, overall, engaged in more problem behaviors than did rural women, and blacks reported fewer problem behaviors than did whites. |

Association Between Behavioral and School Problems and Fatherhood in a National Sample of Adolescent Youths Journal of Pediatrics 111,6, Pt 1 (December 1987): 932-936. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022347687802226 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Mosby Keyword(s): Behavioral Problems; Children, Academic Development; Children, Behavioral Development; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Dropouts; Fatherhood; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Substance Use; Support Networks; Teenagers Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The relation between fatherhood and behavioral and school problems was studied in a nationally representative sample of adolescent youths. Data were obtained from the National Longitudinal Survey of Work Experience of Youth (NLSY). Of the 6400 youths interviewed in 1980, 367 (5.7%) reported that they had fathered a child before the age of 19 years. This group was compared with 1000 non-fathers selected at random from the same data set. The groups differed by race and family socioeconomic characteristics. Academic, drug, and conduct problems were significantly more common among adolescent fathers than among non-fathers. Race and family income, and fatherhood status were independently related to various problem behaviors. These results confirm previous findings demonstrating a relation between delinquency and adolescent fatherhood. |

Maternal Age, Sociodemographics, Prenatal Health, and Behavior: Influences on Neonatal Risk Status Journal of Adolescent Health Care 11,5 (September 1990): 423-431. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/019700709090090O Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Birthweight; Child Health; Childbearing; Mothers; Mothers, Behavior; Pre-natal Care/Exposure; Pre/post Natal Health Care; Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes The effects on neonatal outcomes of maternal age, socioeconomic status, and prenatal health and behavior were assessed in the NLSY. Primagravids were categorized into one of four age-at-birth groups: 13 to 15-year-olds, 16- to 18-year-olds, 19- to 21-year-olds, or 22- to 30-year-olds. Younger mothers were lighter, gained less weight during pregnancy, and sought prenatal care later in their pregnancies. Neonates of the youngest mothers on average had lower birthweights, and had shorter gestational periods. There were significant effects of maternal age, race, education, and pregnancy weight gain on the probability of giving birth to either a premature or low birthweight infant. Tentative results also implicated time of first prenatal care in prematurity. |

Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/584901 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Childbearing; Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes; Stress This article provides an overview of research on the stresses associated with normative developmental transitions, the effects of psychological stress on adult parenting and parent-child interactions, and the stresses associated with the transition to parenthood during adolescence, with an emphasis on schoo/-age parents. Suggestions are provided for the design of developmentally and ecologically valid research and interventions, and for broadly based public policy addressing the unique problems associated with adolescent parenting. |

Adolescent Non-Sexual and Sex-Related Problem Behaviors Journal of Adolescent Research 7,4 (October 1992): 431-456. Also: http://jar.sagepub.com/content/7/4/431.abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Adolescent Fertility; Behavior, Violent; Behavioral Problems; Drug Use; Gender Differences; Illegal Activities; Modeling, Multilevel; Religious Influences; Rural Youth; Rural/Urban Differences; Sexual Activity; Sexual Behavior; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Variables, Independent - Covariate Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The association between adolescent sexual behavior and problem behaviors is assessed in a sample of male and female adolescents from the NLSY. Preliminary analyses indicate that there are linear associations between age and sexual status (virgin, sexually active but never pregnant, or parents) and involvement in four types of problem behaviors: school-related, personal violence, drug use, and stealing. Log-linear models are being tested to formally test these relationships and how they might differ among males and females, and to further assess the effects of other independent variables (e.g., religiosity, urban vs. rural, SES, etc.). |

Effects of Nonparental Child Care on Child Development: An Update Canadian Journal of Psychiatry 41,6 (August 1996): 330-342.

Objective: To review the published literature on the effects of nonparental and out-of-home care on infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Method: Narrative literature review. Results: Although substantial controversy persists, the accumulated evidence suggests that nonparental care does not necessarily have either beneficial or detrimental effects on infants and children, although it can have such effects. In some circumstances, care providers establish relationships with children that have significant effects on development, and this increases the importance of ensuring that care providers are well trained, behave sensitively, and are stable rather than ephemeral figures in children's lives. Nonparental care is associated with behaviour problems (including aggression and noncompliance) when the care is of poor quality and opportunities for meaningful relationships with stable care providers are not available, however. Conclusion: The effects of out-of-home care vary depending on the quality of care as well as the characteristics of individual children, including their age, temperaments, and individual backgrounds. |
