Race, Region, and the Intergenerational Transmission of Grandmother-Grandchild Co-Residency Race, Gender and Class 9,3 ( 2002): 61-75.

It uses National Longitudinal Survey data and logistic regression analysis to determine the likelihood that grandmothers who resided with grandchildren were also likely to have daughters who resided with grandchildren. Of 1098 co-resident grandmothers in the present study, 105 (9%) comprised the sub-sample of grandmother-grandchild mother-daughter pairs. Intergenerational transmission of grandmother-grandchild co-residency was four times more common among Blacks than among Whites, and twice as likely to occur in the South. Age at the time of the birth of one's first child was inversely related to intergenerational transmission of co-residency, while socioeconomic status was positively related to it. No statistically significant differences were found by grandmother-grandchild mother-daughter pair status in regard to physical or mental health among co-resident grandmothers. Nonetheless, about 60% of older co-resident grandmothers reported health limitations in 1997, while 11-18% depending on grandmother-grandchild mother-daughter pair status reported levels of depressive symptomatology that placed them at risk.

Sex at an Early Age: A Multi-System Perspective Race, Gender and Class 14,3-4 (2007): 206-227. Also: http://rgc.uno.edu/journal/journal10-16.cfm#Vol%2014%20#3-4 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Southern University at New Orleans Race, Gender and Class Project (SUNO-RGC Project) Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Age at First Intercourse; Ethnic Differences; Racial Differences; Sexual Activity; Sexual Behavior; Sexual Experiences/Virginity; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Data from the 1997 cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth were used to assess the association between family, self, proximate extra-familial, and distal extra-familial system factors and abstinence/virginity and age of first sexual intercourse (N=1,854). In addition to family, findings point to the robustness of sociodemographic correlates of gender, race/ethnicity, and SES on abstinence and timing of sexual initiation. |
