1.	Missing Data Techniques for Structural Equation Modeling Journal of Abnormal Psychology 112,4 (November 2003): 545–557. Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Longitudinal Data Sets; Methods/Methodology; Missing Data/Imputation; Modeling, Growth Curve/Latent Trajectory Analysis; Modeling, Structural Equation; Statistical Analysis [Editor's Note]: The data set used in this article came from a “1997 SRCD symposium that focused on modern approaches to longitudinal data analysis. The goal of this symposium was to compare and contrast three recently developed methods for analyzing developmental change over time. A single developmental data set was provided to all of the symposium participants with the instructions to analyze the data in any way they wished using a data analytic approach of their own choosing.” “The sample consisted of N=405 children drawn from the Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, about half of which were missing one or more of the repeated measures on aggression or reading ability.“ As with other statistical methods, missing data often create major problems for the estimation of structural equation models (SEMs). Conventional methods such as listwise or pairwise deletion generally do a poor job of using all the available information. However, structural equation modelers are fortunate that many programs for estimating SEMs now have maximum likelihood methods for handling missing data in an optimal fashion. In addition to maximum likelihood, this article also discusses multiple imputation. This method has statistical properties that are almost as good as those for maximum likelihood and can be applied to a much wider array of models and estimation methods.

2.	Trajectories of Parenting Processes and Adolescent Substance Use: Reciprocal Effects Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology 36,4 (August 2008): 613-625. Also: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18288605 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) Keyword(s): Child Development; Families, Two-Parent; Family Environment; Family Studies; Fathers, Involvement; Modeling; Substance Use Drawing on transactional theories of child development, we assessed bidirectional links between trajectories of adolescent substance use and parenting processes from early through mid adolescence. Hierarchical generalized models estimated trajectories for 3,317 adolescents from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, exploring both between- and within-individual effects. Between individuals, adolescents reporting more regular family activities and greater father and mother knowledge of friends and teachers experienced lower levels of substance use through mid adolescence. Similarly, adolescents with more frequent substance use reported lower family activities, father knowledge, and mother knowledge, though these differences dissipated over time. Momre conservative within-individual differences indicated a prospective protective effect of family activities, with increases in adolescent participation in family activities predicting later declines in substance use. Results support the central importance of engagement in regular family activities, and suggest the need for further exploration of transactional processes between parents and children in the development of risk behaviors.

Multilevel analyses were based on mother-rated ND and both mother-reported CPs across 4-13 years (n = 7,077) and youth-reported CPs across 10-13 years (n = 4,524) from the Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. ND was robustly related to CPs reported by both informants when controlling for both measured risk factors that are correlated with ND and unmeasured confounds. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that ND has influence on conduct problems.

Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021843X07627588 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Gender Differences; Genetics; Siblings Sex differences in the causes of self-reported adolescent delinquency were examined in full and half siblings born to a nationally representative sample of women in the United States. Qualitative sex differences in the genes that influence delinquency were not detected. Similarly, the proportions of variance in both aggressive and nonaggressive delinquency attributable to genetic and environmental influences did not differ significantly between girls and boys. Nonetheless, total variance in delinquency was greater among boys, and a scalar sex-differences model suggested that genetic and environmental influences on delinquency have less effect on population variation in delinquency among girls. Similarly, a test of the polygenic multiple threshold model suggested that girls require greater causal liability for the expression of delinquency than boys.

A Longitudinal Study of Antisocial Behaviors in Early Adolescence as Predictors of Late Adolescent Substance Use: Gender and Ethnic Group Differences Journal of Abnormal Psychology 99,1 (February 1990): 86-91. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021843X02010301 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Alcohol Use; Behavioral Problems; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Drug Use; Minorities Data from the National Longitudinal Youth Survey (NLSY) were analyzed to study interrelationships between antisocial behaviors in early adolescence (ages 14-15) and late adolescent alcohol and drug use 4 years later (when adolescents were 18-19). Correlations between classes of antisocial behaviors in early adolescence and substance use in late adolescence were of higher magnitude and more uniform for men than for women; for women, property offenses (e.g., vandalism) in early adolescence were more highly associated with alcohol use, alcohol-related problems, and illicit drug use in late adolescence than with either status offenses or transgressions against persons. Multiple regression analyses indicated that early-adolescent substance involvement was a significant predictor of late-adolescent alcohol and drug use. Additional significant predictors included early adolescent general delinquency, male gender, and non-Black ethnicity.
