Longitudinal Associations of Emerging Adults' Drinking Trajectories with Their Behavior, Health, Education and Work Outcomes 1, 4, and 9 Years Later Drug and Alcohol Dependence 232 (1 March 2022): 109328. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0376871622000655 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Modeling, Latent Class Analysis/Latent Transition Analysis; Transition, Adulthood Background: To characterize emerging adults' drinking trajectories and their prospective association with later behavior, health, education, and work outcomes in later young adulthood. Methods: This study used a selected cohort (N=1622) from rounds 3 - 10 (aged 18 - 25), 11 (aged 26), 14 (aged 29), and 17 (aged 34) of the US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. Latent class growth modeling was used to identify trajectories of drinking (days ≥1 drink in the last 30 days) during emerging adulthood (aged 18-25) using data from rounds 3-10. Multinomial and linear regressions compared identified trajectory classes to outcomes measured 1, 4, and 9 years later. Covariates included sex, race, and urbanicity. Results: Six drinking trajectories were identified: Abstainers (28.42%), Moderate Increasers (24.78%), Light Experimenters (11.96%), Heavy Experimenters (9.86%), Escalators (17.26%), and Heavy Users (7.71%). Compared to abstainers, emerging adults in other classes had significantly (p<.05 to.001) higher odds of binge drinking, smoking, and marijuana use at later rounds. Compared to abstainers, escalators had significantly higher education and income later. No significant difference in physical or mental health was found. |

Longitudinal Trajectories of Perceived Body Weight: Adolescence to Early Adulthood American Journal of Health Behavior 36,2 (March 2012): 242-253. Also: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22370261 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: PNG Publications Keyword(s): Attitudes; Gender Differences; Racial Differences; Weight Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. OBJECTIVE:To examine longitudinal trajectories of perceived weight from adolescence to early adulthood by gender. METHODS: We analyzed 9 waves (1997-2005) of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N = 8302) using Mplus. RESULTS: Perceived overweight increased over time among girls and did not level off until 23 years of age. Blacks had a lower perceived weight for their actual weight and a slower rate of increase in perceived weight than did whites. CONCLUSION: Intervention programs designed to prevent or reduce obesity should evaluate weight perceptions for both adolescents and young adults prior to implementing each intervention. |
