1.	Multi-Ethnic Longitudinal Comparison of Risk and Protective Factors for Adolescent Pregnancy: A Focus on American Indian Women Working Paper, School of Social Work, San Diego State University, 1998 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: School of Social Work, San Diego State University Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Ethnic Differences; Hispanics; Mothers, Education; Poverty; Pregnancy, Adolescent; Substance Use; Teenagers Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A longitudinal, cohort design has been used by the investigators of the N.L. S.Y. study. These data are used to study the differences in risk and protective factors for adolescent pregnancy among four ethnic groups -- non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, Hispanics, and for the first time, American Indians. Objectives include identification of any unique risk factors for adolescent pregnancy among each ethnic group included in the analyses, as well as better comprehension of the differences among women who experienced a teen pregnancy compared to those who did not. The model for this sample of 5,053 women indicates that a higher self-esteem and a higher level of maternal education is associated with less risk for teen pregnancy. Living in poverty as a young teen, substance use, and adolescent marriage are all associated with experiencing a teen pregnancy. Further, the results indicate that unique models of predictors exist for each ethnic group. These findings imply that, for certain populations, there is an increased need for educational efforts to reduce the risk for teen pregnancy.

Maternal and Child Predictors of Adolescent Cigarette Use: Data from the NLSY Study Working Paper, San Diego State University School of Social Work, July 1998 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: School of Social Work, San Diego State University Keyword(s): Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Substance Use; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Also presented: Scientific Meeting for the College on Problems of Drug Dependence, Nashville, 1997 This study builds upon previous research using data from an on-going longitudinal study. Specifically, this study will compare pre-adolescent and adolescent smokers to non-smokers to understand: a) if there are maternal characteristics related to children's cigarette use, b)if there are child characteristics related to cigarette use, and c) if there are unique models predicting cigarette used across gender and racial groups

Self-Report Stability of Adolescent Cigarette Use Across Ten Years of Panel Study Data Working Paper, Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Studies and Services, School of Social Work, College of Health and Human Services, San Diego State University, [N.D.]. Also: http://centerforaod.sdsu.edu/Paper-Cig-Report-Stability-Shillington-all.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: School of Social Work, San Diego State University Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Ethnic Differences; Gender Differences; Racial Differences; Self-Reporting; Smoking (see Cigarette Use) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study is the first to examine adolescent cigarette report stability over ten years. Six waves of data were utilized from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. This study examined internal/logical consistency and external consistency. Report stability was higher for lifetime use reports than the age of onset reports. Wave-by-wave differences revealed stability increased across time with one third denying use in the first two wave comparisons but dropping to twenty percent by the last comparison. Overall, report agreement was higher for females, older adolescents, and Non-Hispanic/Non-Black youth. Implications regarding misclassification of users for prevention programs and measurement issues are discussed.
