Predictors of the Quality of the Home Environment Adolescent Mothers Provide for Their School-Age Children Journal of Youth and Adolescence 19,5 (October 1990): 475-494. Also: http://www.springerlink.com/content/jp745433m0193500/ Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Plenum Publishing Corporation Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Bias Decomposition; Children; Children, Home Environment; Family Structure; General Assessment; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Mothers, Adolescent; Parenting Skills/Styles; Peers/Peer influence/Peer relations; Socioeconomic Status (SES) The primary question addressed in this study is: what factors distinguish between adolescent mothers with school-age children who are providing relatively supportive home environments for their children, and their peers who are providing less supportive care? Data from the Children of the NLSY data set were used to address this question. Variables from four major categories were useful in identifying mothers who were at greatest risk for providing less supportive environments: (1) characteristics of the mother, (2) characteristics of the family of origin, (3) current SES level, and (4) the composition of the mother's household. |
