Poverty Dynamics, Parenting, and Child Mental Health in Canada
Although the detrimental effects of poverty on child mental health are well established, questions remain as to which aspects of poverty matter most and which mechanisms account for the association. This study tested the relative influence of depth of current poverty and poverty duration on child anxiety/depression and antisocial behavior, then evaluated whether parenting practices mediated observed associations. Data come from four waves of the …
Family Histories and Teen Pregnancy in the United States and Canada
Objective: This study took a long view of childhood experiences that can contribute to the risk of teen pregnancy in the United States and Canada, two countries with different norms and policies surrounding family life and inequality.Background: Teenage pregnancy is a major life experience arising from life course trajectories unfolding during a young woman's childhood. Cross-national comparisons can elucidate family-based pathways while embeddin…
Gender, Marital Status, and Mental Health
Received wisdom says marriage correlates with better health, but men derive a greater benefit than do women. These perceptions persist even though the latter, known as the sex role hypothesis, no longer receives unqualified support. Some researchers attribute declining evidence for the sex role hypothesis to greater gender equality. Such arguments, however, may best apply to Western, developed countries where gains in women's status have been lar…
Do Men Really Benefit More From Marriage Than Women
Letters to the editor are presented in response to the article Life-Course Partnership Status and Biomarkers in Midlife: Evidence From the 1958 British Birth Cohort by George B. Ploubidis, Richard Silverwood, Biana De Stavola, and Emily Grundy which appears in a 2015 issue of the journal
Adolescent Problem Behavior in Toronto, Canada
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative association of unique aspects of social capital at the level of families, schools, and neighborhoods on adolescent self-reported violence, property crimes, and substance use. Data come from the 2006 Canadian International Youth Survey that asked adolescents between the ages of 12 and 15 in the metropolitan city of Toronto (N = 3, 101) about their problem behavior. Poisson regression models re…
Family Structure Differences in Family Functioning
This study investigated family structure differences in family functioning, evaluated whether extra-familial social capital accounted for any observed differences, and tested whether the influence of extra-familial social capital on family functioning varied by family structure. Using the first wave of the Canadian National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth ( n = 6,223), analysis revealed significantly lower family functioning levels with…
Parental Divorce and Child Mental Health
Although evidence shows that the effects of divorce can be observed in advance of the actual event, there remains ambiguity over which aspects of child mental health are affected and why. This study analyzed two waves of data from a national survey of Canadian children (N = 4,474) to compare depression, antisocial behavior, and hyperactivity at initial interview between children whose parents subsequently divorced and children whose parents remai…
I Want to Move, But Cannot
This study brings into visibility an understudied segment of the elderly population: seniors who are unable to move from their present location despite their desire to do so. Further research and policy responses assisting seniors to age in a setting of their own choosing are needed
A Life-Course Approach to Studying Transitions among Canadian Seniors in Couple-Only Households
This study tracked the occurrence of death, widowhood, institutionalization, and coresidence with others between 1994 and 2002 for a nationally representative sample of 1,580 Canadian respondents who, at initial interview, were aged 55 and older and living in a couple-only household. Although the majority of seniors remained in a couple-only household throughout the duration of the survey, nearly one in four who experienced a first transition und…
Generating Heat or Light? The Challenge of Social Address Variables
Family structure histories and high school completion
The purpose of this paper was to use a life course approach to investigate the association between family structure histories and high school completion. Using data from a population-based data registry for the 1984 Manitoba birth cohort, we selected a sample of children born or adopted at birth into a married or cohabiting two-parent household (n = 9,493) and derived family structure histories for each child up until the age of 18. Marital disru…
Parenting as a Dynamic Process
In this paper, we tested the resource dilution hypothesis, which posits that, because parenting resources are finite, the addition of a new sibling depletes parenting resources for other children in the household. We estimated growth curve models on the self-reported parenting practices of mothers using four waves of data collected biennially between 1994 and 2000 on a nationally representative sample of 2,082 Canadian children aged 2 to 5 at ini…

Household Income Histories and Child Mental Health Trajectories
Although it is widely accepted that low household income is associated with worse child mental health, less is known about whether income histories, often differentiated into stable and dynamic components, also matter. Using longitudinal data from the Child Supplement of the National Longitudinal Study of Youth, comprising the repeated measures of children ages 4 to 14 from 1986 to 1998 inclusive, I estimate generalized linear mixed models to eva…
Parental Divorce and Child Mental Health Trajectories
A process-oriented approach to parental divorce locates the experience within the social and developmental context of children's lives, providing greater insight into how parental divorce produces vulnerability in some children and resiliency in others. The current study involves prospectively tracking a nationally representative sample of Canadian children of ages 4-7 and living with two biological parents at initial interview in 1994 (N = 2,819…
