1.	Young Adult Fertility and the Intendedness of Births CSDE Working Paper No. 02-04, University of Washington, Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology, 2002 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology, University of Washington Keyword(s): Childbearing, Adolescent; Pearlin Mastery Scale; Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) (see Self-Esteem); Wantedness Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Context: Unintended births have adverse social psychological consequences for the well-being of the mother and the father, and these consequences may differ by gender. Methods: Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth -- Young Adult sample (children of the NLSY mothers) are used to profile the fertility patterns of a sample of young men and women. Logistic regression analyses examine the correlates of unintended fertility and whether unintended fertility is predictive of subsequent adverse consequences and whether there are differences in these consequences associated with gender. Results: We find that factors associated with unintended family is similar for men and women. Unintended fertility is strongly associated with age, race, education, labor force status and parity. We also find that having an unintended birth has deleterious effects on self-efficacy and self-esteem, such that both are reduced following an unintended birth. Conclusions: Focus on women in fertility research may hamper our understanding of the dynamics of fertility decisions, including partners' conflicting desires and intentions, and negotiation and resolution of these conflicts. Unresolved conflict between partners may be a major cause underlying unintended pregnancies.

2.	Male Fertility and the Intendedness Status of Births 1982-1998 Presented: Atlanta, GA, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, May 2002 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; CESD (Depression Scale); Fatherhood; Fathers; Fathers and Children; Fertility; Male Sample; Substance Use; Well-Being Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this paper we document the extent and patterns of unintended fertility among adult men and examine the effects of having an unintended birth on the well-being of the father. The specific well-being outcomes considered are alcohol and drug use and depressive symptoms. The consequences of an unintended birth are assessed relative to the consequences of having a birth that was neither intended nor unintended, a birth that was intended, and having no birth during the observation period. We use data from the 1982-1998 rounds of the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth (NLSY) and the 1994-2000 rounds of the NLSY Young Adult surveys. The NLSY sample we use consists of men who were 14-21 years of age when they were first surveyed in 1979, and NLSY mothers' male children who were 14-23 years of age in 1994, when they were designated as the "Young Adult" sample.
