Literacy and Fertility: Lifecourse Evidence from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) Presented: New Orleans LA, American Public Health Association Annual Meeting and Expo, November 2014 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Public Health Association Keyword(s): Age at Birth; Age at First Birth; Fertility; Life Course; Literacy Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Cohort data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) were assessed to understand the relationship between literacy and fertility. NLSY participants, US youth aged 14-22 in 1979, were surveyed annually through 1994 and biannually thereafter. Literacy was assessed in 1980 and converted to Department of Defense Reading Grade Level (RGL) for this study. In 2010, fertility outcomes were assessed, including total parity, grand multiparity, and age at first and last birth. Chi-square and multiple and logistic regression were used to understand these relationships. |
