Educational Attainment and Health Behaviors Among Young Adult Men: Racial/Ethnic Disparities American Journal of Men's Health 13,6 (November-December 2019): DOI: 10.1177/1557988319894488.

Although promoting health behaviors are important for sustaining physical and mental health, little is known about young adult men's health behaviors or how they vary across race and ethnicity. This study examines the impact of educational attainment on health behaviors across young adult men, and differences in the association across race/ethnicity. This study used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Children and Young Adults. The final sample consists of 3,115 non-Hispanic White males, 1,617 African American males, and 1,144 Hispanic males. The average age of the participants was about 27 years old. Multiple linear regression and logistic regression analyses were conducted. Educational attainment was associated with both food intake and preventive health care visits. Those who received a higher education were less likely to eat fast food than those who did not...and were more likely to eat fruits and vegetables... Higher education was also positively associated with routine eye exams and health check-ups... This study identified interaction effects between educational attainment and African Americans for predicting fast food intake... Education is one way to improve health behaviors and to lessen racial/ethnic disparities in health behaviors. Specifically, promoting health behaviors in education should target African American men to improve their perception toward the importance of healthy food intake. |

Intergenerational Transmission of Maternal Poverty to Self-esteem among Young Adult Children: The Role of Employment Children and Youth Services Review 106 (November 2019): 104492. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0190740919306218 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Employment; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Labor Force Participation; Mothers, Income; Poverty; Self-Esteem Objectives: This study explores the underlying pathways of the intergenerational relationship linking parents' poverty, children's self-esteem and employment among young adults. Methods: This study used two data sets from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 79 for Children and Young Adults (NLSY79 CY). A total of 9584 dyads was used for the final sample. The mediation model suggested by Baron and Kenny (1986) was used to examine. Results: Young adult children whose mother is in poverty are less likely to be employed compared to their counterparts with a mother not in poverty. Maternal poverty is significantly associated with young adult children's self-esteem. Young adult children's employment is statistically related to their self-esteem. Young adult children's employment status mediated the relationship between maternal poverty and young adult children's self-esteem. |

Racial/Ethnic Differences in Health Behaviors and Its Roles on Depressive Symptoms among Young Female Adults International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 17 (2020): 7202. Also: https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/19/7202 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute) Keyword(s): Depression (see also CESD); Ethnic Differences; Nutritional Status/Nutrition/Consumption Behaviors; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study explores the role of health behaviors on depressive symptoms across young adult females and differences in the relationship across race/ethnicity. The data come from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Child and Young Adult. Seven hundred and seven non-Hispanic White females, 592 African American females, and 349 Hispanic females were selected. Multiple linear regression and logistic regression analyses were conducted. African American and Hispanic females were more likely to eat fast food than non-Hispanic Whites. African Americans reported that they ate fruit less frequently in comparison with non-Hispanic Whites. Fruit intake was related to lower levels of depressive symptoms. Hispanics moderated the association between fruit intake and depressive symptoms. Females should be encouraged to eat more fruit during young adulthood in order to diminish the likelihood of depressive symptoms. In addition, strategies for promoting healthy behaviors should consider the varied effects of race/ethnicity on depressive symptoms among young female adults. |
