Father Involvement and Youth Transition into Risky Behaviors in Immigrant and Native-Born Families Presented: Minneapolis, MN, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, May 2003 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Behavioral Problems; Fathers, Involvement; Immigrants Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study explores how father involvement is related to adolescent risk behaviors among youth in first and second-generation immigrant families and US native-born families. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study or Youth (1997 - 1999) and discrete time regressions, we test three hypotheses: 1) high levels of father involvement are related to reduced likelihood of engaging in risk behaviors; 2) immigrant status (being first or second-generation youth) reduces the likelihood of involvement in risky behaviors; and 3) father involvement interacts with immigration status, race or gender in its effects on youth risk behaviors. Findings indicate that father involvement, and being an immigrant youth (1st or 2nd gen) is associated with reduced risky behaviors. Two-way interactions indicate that father involvement does not interact with gender, race or youth immigration status in predicting risky behaviors. |
