Juvenile Incarceration in an Adult Correctional Facility as a Risk Factor for Adolescent Childrearing? Journal of Adolescence published online (5 October 2022): DOI: 10.1002/jad.12096. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jad.12096 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Incarceration/Jail; Modeling, Growth Curve/Latent Trajectory Analysis; Parenthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Methods: The current study examined the age-specific effects of time spent in adult correctional facilities from 13 to 34 years of age on childrearing between 14 and 35 years of age using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1997 (NLSY97). The NLSY97 is a nationally representative sample of Males (51%) and Females (49%) born in the United States. Respondents of the NLSY97 were interviewed about life events beginning at age 7 and continued to participate in the study as recently as 2021. Results: The results of the lagged growth curve models suggest that the time spent incarcerated between 13 and 17 years of age heightens the risk of childrearing between 14 and 18 years of age, an effect that is not observed during adulthood. |

The Within-individual Lagged Effects of Time Spent Incarcerated on Substance Use: A Nationally Representative Longitudinal Study from the United States Journal of Substance Use published online (9 December 2021): DOI: 10.1080/14659891.2021.2006336. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14659891.2021.2006336 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Drug Use; Incarceration/Jail; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Background: The effects of incarceration on future substance use is well documented in the extant literature. Nevertheless, scholars have yet to examine the within-individual correspondence between the change in months incarcerated over time and the change in substance use over time. Aim: Considering this gap in the literature, the purpose of the current study is to evaluate whether within-individual changes in months incarcerated is associated with subsequent within-individual changes in substance use. Method: The current study examines the influence of the change in the number months incarcerated (2004-2009) on alcohol, cigarette, marijuana, and hard drug use (2005-2010) using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97). The within-individual effects were estimated using four lagged latent growth models. Result: The results demonstrated that within-individual change in the months spent incarcerated influenced the change in the likelihood of substance use over time. Within-individual increases in the number of months an individual spent incarcerated over time (2004-2009) was associated with within-individual decreases in the frequency of cigarette and marijuana use, but within-individual increases in the likelihood of hard drug use from 2005 to 2010. |

The Cycle of Reentry and Reincarceration: Examining the Influence on Employment over a Period of 18 Years Journal of Criminal Justice 74 (May-June 2021): 101812. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047235221000325 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Employment; Incarceration/Jail Methods: Using the NLSY97 birth cohort, the current study evaluated the influence of time spent incarcerated (an approximation of the reentry-reincarceration cycle) on future employment outcomes over an 18-year period. Specifically, two cross-lagged panel models were estimated to examine the between-individual effects of the number of months incarcerated on employment and the number of weeks employed, while two lagged latent growth models were estimated to examine the within-individual effects. Results: In addition to suggesting that the reentry-reincarceration cycle exists, the findings illustrated that the reentry-reincarceration cycle influences between-individual differences on employment outcomes and within-individual changes in employment outcomes over time. |

Examining an Indirect Pathway from the Variety of Stressful Life Events to Violent Victimization through Acquired Psychological Symptoms Justice Quarterly published online (17 May 2021): DOI: 10.1080/07418825.2021.1916062. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07418825.2021.1916062 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences Keyword(s): Arrests; Bullying/Victimization; Childhood Adversity/Trauma; Modeling, Structural Equation; Psychological Effects; Stress Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The effects of stressful life events on violent victimization have been well established. The existing literature, however, remains relatively limited in examining the indirect association between stressful life events and violent victimization through acquired psychological processes. The current study examines the mediating effects of the co-occurrence of negative psychological symptoms (adverse psychological effects) on the association between stressful life events and violent victimization. The results of two structural equation models, estimated using the NLSY 1997 cohort, demonstrate that a variety of stressful life events and violent victimization had a positive indirect effect on violent victimization through adverse psychological effects. The results were only slightly attenuated when self-reported number of arrests was introduced as a covariate of violent victimization in the SEM. The findings suggest that exposure to a variety of stressful life events and violent victimization can influence psychological symptoms and increase subsequent violent victimization. |

Illegal Drug Use, Depressive Symptoms, and General Health: Exploring Co-occurrence across 11 Years in a National Sample Journal of Psychoactive Drugs published online (23 March 2022): DOI: 10.1080/02791072.2022.2053003. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02791072.2022.2053003 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group Keyword(s): Depression (see also CESD); Drug Use; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The co-occurrence of illegal drug use, symptoms of depression, and a lower perception of general health among adolescents continues to be of substantive interest for researchers and the general public alike. Research on this topic, however, remains relatively stagnant, focusing on narrow developmental periods and each association independently, with limited consideration for the existence of a nexus between the three constructs as individuals age. Considering these limitations, the current study examines the longitudinal progression, from adolescence to early adulthood, of illegal drug use, symptoms of depression, and a lower perception of general health. The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97; N = 8,984), measures over an eleven-year data collection period, and between-and within-individual analytical strategies were used to evaluate the nexus between the constructs. The findings suggested that illegal drug use, depressive symptoms, and general health at previous time periods directly and indirectly predicted illegal drug use, depressive symptoms, and general health at subsequent time periods. Moreover, the within-individual change in illegal drug use was associated with the change in depressive symptoms, and the change in depressive symptoms was associated with the change in general health. Practitioners should consider this co-occurrence when treating symptoms related to illegal drug use, symptoms of depression, and physical health. |
