Institutions in Childhood and the Transition to Adulthood: Consequences of Criminal Justice and Child Welfare System Contact in the United States Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, Cornell University, 2020 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Criminal Justice System; Incarceration/Jail; Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This dissertation investigates the implications of foster care placement and incarceration for living arrangement transitions and health in early life. First, I use the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to propose an expanded conceptualization of home-leaving that incorporates institutional transitions typically excluded from such analyses. Using life table and regression analysis, I find that this institution-inclusive measure estimates earlier first home-leaving in the transition to adulthood than conventional methods, particularly for young adults who are Black and have lower levels of parental education. Second, I use inverse probability-weighted regression and the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Wellbeing to estimate associations between foster care placement and care and living arrangement instability among children with similar risks of entry into foster care. Although foster care is associated with greater instability overall, analysis of only "excess" changes finds that foster care is linked to less instability in children's living arrangements and persistently greater instability in their primary caregiver relationships. |

Leaving Home, Entering Institutions: Implications for Home‐Leaving in the Transition to Adulthood Journal of Marriage and Family published online (25 October 2019): DOI: 10.1111/jomf.12616. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jomf.12616 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Higher Education; Incarceration/Jail; Military Service; Residence, Return to Parental Home/Delayed Homeleaving; Transition, Adulthood Objective: This study examines the impact of incorporating institutional transitions (e.g., military, higher education, incarceration) into the definition of home‐leaving for estimates of cumulative risks of first home‐leaving in the transition to adulthood and racial/ethnic differences therein. Method: Life table analysis of 6,501 individuals from the 1997 National Longitudinal Study of Youth is used to estimate overall and race/ethnicity‐specific cumulative risks of first home‐leaving using two measures of home‐leaving: one that relies exclusively on household rosters and a second that incorporates information about departures for institutions beyond the family and household. Multinomial regression is then used to estimate young adults' likelihoods of first home‐leaving for different types of arrangements and institutional settings. Results: An institution‐inclusive definition of home‐leaving yields higher estimates of the risk of leaving the parental home by age 31 than a roster‐based definition. The institution‐inclusive measure also estimates greater racial/ethnic variation in the timing of first departure and provides insights into the racial/ethnic differences in the types of transitions experienced. |

Leaving the Nest: Departure from the Parental Home in the Transition to Adulthood Presented: Miami FL, Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) Annual Fall Research Conference, November 12-14, 2015 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) Keyword(s): College Enrollment; Incarceration/Jail; Residence; Transition, Adulthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The current study uses single and multiple decrement cohort life table methods to present overall and age-specific cumulative risks of first departure from the parental home. In addition to providing overall estimates of the risk of this life event over the transition to adulthood, this paper examines variation in the timing and drivers of these departures across socioeconomic and demographic groups, specifically focusing on differences in the salience of incarceration and post-secondary education as reasons for leaving the parental home for the first time. The analyses use the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, which captures information about young adults in their late teens and through the 20s, providing the ideal context for studying this event.
