Race, Region, and the Intergenerational Transmission of Grandmother-Grandchild Co-Residency Race, Gender and Class 9,3 ( 2002): 61-75. Also: http://rgc.uno.edu/journal/journal01-09.cfm#Vol%209%20#%203 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women Publisher: Southern University at New Orleans Race, Gender and Class Project (SUNO-RGC Project) Keyword(s): Coresidence; Depression (see also CESD); Family Structure; Family Studies; Grandchildren; Grandmothers; Grandparents; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Mothers and Daughters; Pairs (also see Siblings); Racial Differences; Regions This study extends recent research in the area of grandparent-grandchildren reltions. 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.
