With dependent variables selected in part to align with interview findings, the quantitative model examined the relationship between suspension and specific outcomes of educational attainment, income, unemployment, and homeownership. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), the longitudinal fixed-effects analysis finds that suspensions are significantly related to young women's chances of success on all of these measures into their early 30's. Disaggregated by race, a complex interaction between suspension, race, and long-term outcomes, emerges, indicating a need for additional intersectional research into suspensions' effects.
