Single Custodial Fathers’ Involvement and Parenting during Adolescence and Outcomes in Emerging Adulthood Presented: New Orleans LA, Population Association of America Meetings, April 2008. Also: http://paa2008.princeton.edu/abstractViewer.aspx?submissionId=81444 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Disconnected Youth; Fathers, Influence; High School Completion/Graduates; Parental Influences; Parents, Single; Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study uses nationally representative data from the NLSY97 (Rounds 1 through 7) to examine the effects of single custodial fathers’ involvement and parenting of adolescents on offspring outcomes during emerging adulthood. Results suggest that the greatest proportion of single custodial fathers exhibited permissive parenting styles. Single custodial fathers did not differ from fathers in two biological parent homes in their levels of closeness, support, or awareness. Results also indicate that offspring that reside with a single father during adolescence have reduced odds of completing high school and greater odds of being disconnected during emerging adulthood compared to offspring that reside with two biological parents. Findings suggest that residing in a single father household during adolescence continues to affect offspring well-being as they enter emerging adulthood. |

Single Custodial Fathers’ Involvement and Parenting: Implications for Outcomes in Emerging Adulthood Journal of Marriage and Family 72,5 (October 2010): 1107-1127. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1741-3737.2010.00753.x/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Disconnected Youth; Fathers, Involvement; High School Completion/Graduates; Parents, Single; Transition, Adulthood Using a sample of 3,977 youths from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97), this study examines the unique characteristics of single-custodial-father families with adolescents and the effects of single fathers' involvement and parenting on outcomes in emerging adulthood. Findings suggest that single-custodial-father families are distinct from single-mother and 2-biological-parent families in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, parenting styles, and involvement. Parenting styles and involvement mediate the differences between single-father families and 2-parent families in terms of high school completion and disconnectedness and partially mediate differences for single-custodial-father families with a partner. Family and sociodemographic characteristics are also associated with being disconnected for adolescents residing with a cohabiting custodial father. |

Factors Associated with the Transition to Multiple Partner Fertility among Young Unmarried Parents Presented: Washington, DC, Population Association of America Annual Meetings, March 31-April 2, 2011 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Age at First Birth; Cohabitation; Coresidence; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Fertility; Fertility, Multiple Partners; Parents, Single; Sexual Activity; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper uses recent nationally representative, longitudinal data to examine correlates of multiple-partner fertility among a recent cohort of young unmarried parents. We used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997, Rounds 1 – 11 (1997 – 2007), to examine the transition to multiple-partner fertility among 893 fathers and 1,331 mothers ages 14-27 who were unmarried at first birth. Using discrete time event history analyses, we found high rates of multiple-partner fertility among these disadvantaged parents. Multivariate results suggest that, among unmarried mothers, several individual factors (employment/enrollment, gang involvement, substance use, arrest history), as well as characteristics of the union and birth (cohabitation status, age at first birth, child's age, subsequent children with first partner), and first birth partner (partner age and employment/enrollment status) are associated with multiple-partner fertility. Fewer factors are significant for unmarried fathers (not cohabiting at first birth, lower parental education and gang involvement in adolescence). |

Relationship Context and the Transition to a Nonmarital Birth Presented: Washington, DC, Bureau of Labor Statistics Conference Center, NLSY97 Tenth Anniversary Conference, May 29-30, 2008. Also: http://harrisschool.uchicago.edu/Research/conferences/NLSYConf/pdf/Manlove_et_al_NonMarital_Birth.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Childbearing, Premarital/Nonmarital; Cohabitation; Contraception; Fertility; Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes; Sexual Activity The key hypothesis for this paper is that decision-making about nonmarital childbearing and its proximate determinants (including sexual activity, contraceptive use and pregnancy) is often made within the context of relationships. In fact, some researchers state that nonmarital childbearing, including childbearing within cohabiting relationships, is best studied with information about both partners (Seltzer, 2000). However, the majority of research on nonmarital childbearing focuses on family, individual, community, and social policy factors associated with the transition to a nonmarital birth. … This study expands previous research by using nationally representative longitudinal data to examine the association between relationship and partner characteristics, as well as individuals' sexual, marital and fertility histories, and the transition to a nonmarital birth for males and females. |

Racial and Ethnic Differences in the Transition to a Teenage Birth in the United States Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health 45,2 (June 2013): 89-100. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1363/4508913/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Alan Guttmacher Institute Keyword(s): Age at First Birth; Age at First Intercourse; Childbearing, Adolescent; Contraception; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Ethnic Differences; Family Environment; Immigrants; Modeling, Hazard/Event History/Survival/Duration; Peers/Peer influence/Peer relations; Racial Differences; School Performance; Sexual Experiences/Virginity Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 cohort were used to link characteristics of white, black, U.S.-born Hispanic and foreign-born Hispanic adolescents to teenage childbearing. Following a sample of 3,294 females aged 12-16 through age 19, discrete-time logistic regression analyses were used to examine which domains of teenagers' lives were associated with the transition to a teenage birth for each racial and ethnic group, and whether these associations help explain racial and ethnic and nativity differences in this transition. |

Relationship Characteristics and the Relationship Context of Nonmarital First Births Among Young Adult Women Social Science Quarterly 93,2 (June 2012): 506-520. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1540-6237.2012.00853.x/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Childbearing; Childbearing, Premarital/Nonmarital; Cohabitation; Ethnic Differences; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to examine whether and how characteristics of the relationship dyad are linked to nonmarital childbearing among young adult women, additionally distinguishing between cohabiting and nonunion births. Methods: We used the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 Cohort and discrete time-event history methods to examine these objectives. Results: Our analyses found that similarities and differences between women and their most recent sexual partner in educational attainment, disengagement from work or school, race/ethnicity, and age were linked to the risk and context of nonmarital childbearing. For example, partner disengagement (from school and work) was associated with increased odds of a nonmarital birth regardless of whether the woman herself was disengaged. Additionally, having a partner of a different race/ethnicity was associated with nonmarital childbearing for whites, but not for blacks and Hispanics. Conclusions: We conclude that relationship characteristics are an important dimension of the lives of young adults that influence their odds of having a birth outside of marriage. |

Neighborhood, Family and School Environments: Associations with the Timing of Adolescent First Sex Presented: Washington, DC, Population Association of America Annual Meetings, March 31-April 2, 2011 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Council Keyword(s): Adolescent Sexual Activity; Age at First Marriage; Family Environment; Geocoded Data; Neighborhood Effects; School Quality A major focus of policy and research is on delaying the timing of first sex to help reduce high rates of teenage pregnancy and STDs in the U.S. This study uses data from Rounds 1-8 of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97) to examine whether and how different adolescent environments including neighborhood, family, school, and the surrounding physical environment are associated with an earlier timing of first sex. We also examine whether micro-level factors (e.g., parent involvement) are more or less protective against early sexual experience in more disadvantaged neighborhoods. County-level indicators of neighborhood disadvantage (e.g., poverty, unemployment, single motherhood, educational attainment) are used. Preliminary results suggest that many contexts matter for the timing of adolescent sex (e.g., neighborhood, parent involvement, family structure, youth's perceptions of their school and physical environments, parent background) and that these contexts vary depending on the level of neighborhood disadvantage. |
