This project is a continuation of a research program initiated by Dr. Lamb at the University of Utah. Work completed or in progress at NICHD involves analyses of data from two large nationally-representative samples: the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY) and the Census Bureau's Current Population Surveys (CPS). The goal is to describe the psychosocial context of adolescent parenthood and to explore the long-term effects for both mothers and fathers. A. Correlates of adolescent fatherhood. In an analysis of data from the NLSY, we found clear evidence that, regardless of race, adolescent fatherhood was but one symptom of a wider variety of psychosocial problems. Compared with nonfathers of similar ages from similar backgrounds, adolescent fathers were much more likely to have a history of involvement with police, school problems, and substance abuse. B. Long-term correlates of adolescent parenthood. In a previous analysis of CPS data, it was shown that adolescent marriage was associated in men with deficits in marital stability, income, educational attainment, and occupational prestige through at least 40 years after the marriage. Similar adverse long-term consequences were subsequently found for mothers. In the case of mothers, both adolescent childbearing and adolescent marriage were associated with higher lifetime fertility (adjusting for age), lower income, less prestigious occupational ratings, lower educational attainment, and more frequent marital dissolution. The effects were not additive, but the "best" outcomes were obtained by those women who delayed both childbearing and marriage into adulthood. The significance of this project lies in its demonstration that adolescent parent hood (a) is not a random or chance event and (b) has long term--essentially life-long--effects on the psychological and socioeconomic status of both men and women.

该项目是一个研究计划的延续， 博士兰姆在犹他州大学。 已完成或 NICHD的进展涉及对两个大型 全国代表性样本：全国纵向 青年研究（NLSY）和人口普查局目前的 人口调查。 目标是描述 青少年父母的社会心理背景，并探讨 对母亲和父亲的长期影响。 A. 与青少年父亲身份的相关性。 在对数据的分析中， 从NLSY，我们发现了明确的证据，无论种族， 青春期的父亲身份只是各种各样的症状之一， 心理问题 与同龄的非父亲相比 来自相似背景的青少年父亲 可能有与警察，学校 问题和药物滥用。 B。 青少年父母身份的长期相关因素。 在以前的 CPS数据的分析表明，青少年婚姻 与男性的婚姻稳定性、收入、 教育程度和职业声望， 结婚后至少40年。 类似的长期不良反应 随后发现了对母亲的影响。 的情况下 少女生育和少女结婚的母亲 与较高的终生生育率相关（调整年龄）， 收入较低，职业评级较低， 教育程度，以及更频繁的婚姻解体。 效果不是累加的，但“最好”的结果是 那些推迟生育和 结婚到成年 这个项目的意义在于它证明， 青少年父母身份（a）不是随机或偶然事件，（B） 对心理有长期的--基本上是终身的--影响 以及男女的社会经济地位。
