A Primary Care-Based Early Childhood Nutrition Intervention
Factors Contributing to Differences in Substance Use Among Black and White Adolescents
Research reveals that Black youth are less likely to use alcohol than White youth. It has been argued that Blacks are more likely to abstain because they have less disposable income, are more religious, and have more family support and/or control than White youth. It has also been suggested that not only are these compositional characteristics different and likely to suppress use rates but also that the effects of these factors vary as well. Howe…
Are Small Schools and Private Schools Better for Adolescents' Emotional Adjustment
empirical evidence of these mental health benefits is sparse. This study used the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health (Add Health) to determine whether adolescents are protected in small and/or private schools, examining depression, suicidality, and violent dispositions. The results refute claims that students who attend these types of schools have better emotional adjustment than do those who attend large and/or public schools. In …
The Relationships Among Adolescent Pregnancy, Pregnancy Resolution, and Juvenile Delinquency
We apply criminological theories of social control to explore the relationships among adolescent pregnancy, pregnancy resolution, and juvenile delinquency. While most ever-pregnant girls have especially high rates of delinquent behavior, adolescent mothers exhibit delinquency levels no higher than those of their never-pregnant peers. Unlike adolescent females who end their pregnancies through abortion, those who keep their babies experience a dra…
Marital and Cohabiting Relationships of Adult Children of Alcoholics
The popular press has disseminated widely the idea that adult children of alcoholics (ACOAs) have relational deficiencies. This literature has been challenged due to its reliance on clinical samples; however, evidence of no difference between ACOAs and non-ACOAs has come from studies of college students. The National Survey of Families and Households is used to examine the effect of growing up in an alcoholic family on adult marital and cohabitin…
Race Differences in Strains Associated with Suicidal Behavior among Adolescents
Rising adolescent suicide rates have prompted scholars and practitioners to identify predictive strains. Resulting profiles of suicidal adolescents often assume that a single model is applicable to all adolescent subgroups. Although scholars have repeatedly suggested that suicidal processes may vary for Blacks and Whites, few researchers have examined race differences in suicidal correlates. No studies have tested for process differences by race …
