Neighborhood disadvantage across the transition from adolescence to adulthood and risk of metabolic syndrome
Pathways of Health and Human Capital from Adolescence into Young Adulthood
Social inequalities in health and human capital are core concerns of sociologists, but little research examines the developmental stage when such inequalities are likely to emerge-the transition to adulthood. With new data and innovative statistical methods we conceptually develop, and empirically operationalize, pathways of physical health and human capital accumulation from adolescence into young adulthood, using an autoregressive cross-lagged …
Ethnic enclaves and birth outcomes of immigrants from India in a diverse U.S. state
Intergenerational pathways linking maternal early life adversity to offspring birthweight
Neighborhood context and birth outcomes
Neighborhood affluence protects against the risk of poor birth outcome. •The protective effect of affluence holds for Whites, Blacks, Hispanics and Asians. •Mediation of these pathways by prenatal smoking varies by racial group. •The discourse on neighborhoods and birth outcomes should include affluence
Theoretical Insights into Preconception Social Conditions and Perinatal Health
Neighborhood and Family Environment of Expectant Mothers May Influence Prenatal Programming of Adult Cancer Risk
Childhood stressors including physical abuse predict adult cancer risk. Prior research portrays this finding as an indirect mechanism that operates through coping behaviors, including adult smoking, or through increased toxic exposures during childhood. Little is known about potential direct causal mechanisms between early-life stressors and adult cancer. Because prenatal conditions can affect gene expression by altering DNA methylation, with imp…
Marriage Advantages in Perinatal Health
Marriage is a social tie associated with health advantages for adults and their children, as lower rates of preterm birth and low birth weight are observed among married women. In this study the author tested 2 competing hypotheses explaining this marriage advantage-marriage protection versus marriage selection-using a sample of recent births to single, cohabiting, and married women from the National Survey of Family Growth, 2006-2010. Propensity…
An Integrative Model of Inter- and Intragenerational Preconception Processes Influencing Birthweight in the United States
Social inequalities in birthweight are an important population health concern as low birthweight is one mechanism through which inequalities are reproduced across generations. Yet, we do not understand what causes these social inequalities. This study draws together theoretic and empiric findings from disparate disciplines-sociology, economics, public health, and behavior genetics-to develop a new integrative intra- and intergenerational model of…
How Much In-Kind Support Do Low-Income Nonresident Fathers Provide? A Mixed-Method Analysis
Past child support research has largely focused on cash payments made through the courts (formal support) or given directly to the mother (informal support) almost to the exclusion of a third type: non-cash goods (in-kind support). Drawing on repeated, semistructured interviews with nearly 400 low-income noncustodial fathers, the authors found that in-kind support constitutes about one quarter of total support. Children in receipt of some in-kind…
Obesity, school obesity prevalence, and adolescent childbearing among U.S. young women
A Closer Look at the Second Demographic Transition in the US
The Educational Consequences of Teen Childbearing
A huge literature shows that teen mothers face a variety of detriments across the life course, including truncated educational attainment. To what extent is this association causal? The estimated effects of teen motherhood on schooling vary widely, ranging from no discernible difference to 2.6 fewer years among teen mothers. The magnitude of educational consequences is therefore uncertain, despite voluminous policy and prevention efforts that res…
Parents' Marital Distress, Divorce, and Remarriage
The authors used data from the Add Health study to estimate the effects of parents' marital status and relationship distress on daughters' early family formation transitions. Outcomes included traditional transitions (marriage and marital births) and nontraditional transitions (cohabitation and nonmarital births). Relationship distress among continuously married parents was not related to any outcome. Offspring with single parents and remarried p…
Life-Course Pathways and the Psychosocial Adjustment of Young Adult Women
We examined seven life-course pathways from adolescence through the early adult years and their links with general health and psychosocial adjustment among 2,290 women from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Young women who followed a pathway involving college attendance to full-time employment with no family-formation transitions were functioning comparatively well with respect to general health, depression, and self-esteem. I…
Demographic Imperatives and Religious Markets
Two models seeking to explain the growth and decline of religious groups are prevalent in the literature. The religious market approach emphasizes the role of intergroup competition and in doing so focuses on religious switching. Another perspective emphasizes demographic mechanisms, particularly fertility. Research to date has not considered how switching and fertility interact as mechanisms of growth. Switching and fertility share a significant…
The Missing Link
One of the bedrock values of professional historians is reliance on verifiable documentation.We have well-developed methods for storing, citing, and finding many media, including books, journals, and archival material.Recently, historians have relied on a new medium, the internet, to document the sources of their information.Scholars in the sciences, however, have raised alarms about the frequency with which internet sources have disappeared afte…
