Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Family Structure; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Household Composition; Mothers, Behavior; Parenting Skills/Styles; Parents, Behavior Employing for analysis a set of secondary data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, the present study sought signs of theoretical support for this emphasis on family preservation. Specifically,the research examined the effects on childhood delinquency of the following variables: family stability; parenting style; parental supervision; and structural factors. Binomial logistic regression conducted with the data showed that children's likelihood of becoming delinquent drops noticeably in the following circumstances: they are female; they do not live in poverty; the mother is older or is African-American; they receive stringent parental supervision; and/or they spend many years in residence with biological parents and/or step-parents. Some implications for family preservation efforts are suggested by the study results.

2.	Sexuality-Related Outcomes of Adolescent Children of Teen Mothers Journal of Family Social Work 11,4 (December 2008): 373-388. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10522150802425208 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Adolescent Sexual Activity; Age at First Birth; Gender; Mothers, Adolescent; Mothers, Education; Parents, Single; Poverty The relationship between being an adolescent child of a teen mother and sexuality-related outcomes was investigated using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth [Editor: NLSY97]. Adolescents whose mothers were teenagers at first birth were more likely to have had sex by age 16 than other adolescents. Gender moderated this effect, as this relationship was stronger for sons than for daughters. In addition, children of mothers with a lower level of education, adolescents who lived in poverty, and adolescents who resided with less than two biological parents at the start of the study were more likely to have had sex.

3.	Leaving Welfare: Differences Between Those Who Exited Voluntarily and Those Who Stayed Journal of Family Social Work 8,3 (2004): 19-35. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J039v08n03_02 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); Employment; Family Circumstances, Changes in; Job Status; Poverty; Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); Transition, Welfare to Work; Welfare This article uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979-1998 to understand the differences between those who exited the welfare system voluntarily (leavers) and those who stayed (non-leavers), 1990-1996. The purpose of this research was to examine the differences between the groups in their personal and family characteristics, employment status and poverty status. In addition, logistic regression was used to assess significant predictors that affect the probability of exiting from welfare. The overall results showed that being married and having been employed longer prior to exit increases the chances of voluntary welfare exit and having more children is a significant barrier to welfare exit irrespective of individuals' marital and employment status. Leavers and non-leavers significantly differed in their poverty status and employment status for each assessment year. (Journal abstract)
