Abstract

This study examined differences in alcohol use by sexual and gender identities during the COVID-19 pandemic, and assessed whether variation between groups was explained by pandemic-related stressors and minority stress. Data from 2,429 partnered adults in the National Couples' Health and Time Use Study (n = 3,593) collected from September 2020 to April 2021 were used to model drinking patterns (frequency, amount, and drinking to cope) by sexual and gender identities, COVID-19 stress and disruption, microaggressions, and supportive climate. Regression models indicated differences in drinking by gender and sexual identities, even controlling for demographic and socioeconomic factors. Gay, lesbian, and bisexual people had higher odds of drinking to cope with the pandemic than did heterosexual people, and cisgender men had higher odds than did cisgender women. Gay and lesbian people drank more regularly than did heterosexual people, as did cisgender men in relation to cisgender women. Exclusively bisexual people drank significantly more drinks than exclusively heterosexual people, and cisgender men drank significantly more drinks than did cisgender women and those who identified as trans/another gender identity. COVID-19 stress and minority stress were associated with greater alcohol consumption, but they did not account for these differentials. Moving forward, researchers will need to continuously assess these associations, as sources of discrimination and stress will persist beyond the pandemic. Although LGBTQ+ people have disproportionate sources of stress, they varied in how they used alcohol to cope. Potential sources of resilience among sexual and gender diverse individuals should be explored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

7. The Characteristics and Well-Being of Adopted Stepchildren

Author

Stewart, Susan D.

Abstract

This study draws upon 22,680 children from the 2002 National Survey of America's Families to investigate the demographic and family characteristics and well-being of stepchildren who have been adopted by a stepparent (n = 140) relative to children with 2 biological parents, children with 2 adoptive parents, and children with 1 biological parent and 1 nonadoptive stepparent. Five percent of all stepchildren and one quarter of all adopted children have been adopted by a stepparent. How the characteristics of adopted stepchildren compare to those of other children depends on the child's age--whereas younger adopted stepchildren are most similar to children with 2 biological parents, older adopted stepchildren are most similar to nonadopted stepchildren. Adopted stepchildren of all ages have significantly more behavior and emotional problems than children with 2 biological parents, but have similar levels of school engagement. There were no significant differences between children with 2 adoptive parents, nonadopted stepchildren, and adopted stepchildren on any measure of well-being regardless of the child's age. Implications for practice and policy include increasing awareness of adopted stepchildren and paying greater attention to the legal context under which stepchildren are adopted.

8. Children with Nonresident Parents: Living Arrangements, Visitation, and Child Support

Author

Stewart, Susan D.

Abstract

One third of all children in the United States have a nonresident parent. On the basis of 13,085 children with a nonresident parent drawn from the 1997 National Survey of America's Families, this study examines nonresident mothers' and fathers' involvement (visitation and child support) with children who reside in different household types: single-parent families, married and cohabiting stepfamilies, and families headed by grandparents, other relatives, or nonrelatives. The relationship between children's living arrangements and nonresident parent involvement is complex and depends on both the gender of the nonresident parent and the type of involvement. Because nonresident parent involvement is low regardless of household type, policies and programs designed to increase involvement should include children in a variety of family forms.

9. Nonresident Father Involvement, Social Class, and Adolescent Weight

Author

Menning, Chadwick L. and Stewart, Susan D.

Abstract

Body weight issues disproportionately affect children with nonresident fathers. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the authors investigate the relationship between nonresident father involvement and adolescent weight, specifically adolescents' risk of being underweight, overweight, and obese. The results show that nonresident father involvement is associated with adolescent weight and that the effect varies according to social class, fathers' obesity, and the gender of the child. Among both males and females, greater involvement with fathers increases their risk of obesity. Among females, the effect of father involvement on obesity is even greater if her father is obese. Among males, greater father involvement is also associated with lower risk of underweight. The effect of father involvement on adolescent obesity also varies by social class: Involvement with a more highly educated nonresident father is associated with a lower risk of obesity. Child support payments are not associated with being at risk of overweight or underweight among males or females. These results suggest that nonresident fathers must be included in policy discussions of adolescent weight, especially given the positive association between nonresident father involvement and adolescent obesity.

11. Boundary Ambiguity in Stepfamilies

Author

Stewart, Susan D.

Abstract

Family boundary ambiguity refers to a lack of clarity as to who is in and who is out of the family system. Few studies have examined this concept in the stepfamily context, which is problematic because such definitional problems hinder our understanding of close relationships in stepfamilies. Based on a nationally representative sample of first-married, remarried, and cohabiting couples with minor children, this study investigates the prevalence and nature of boundary ambiguity in stepfamilies (families that include children from previous unions) and the relationship between boundary ambiguity and couples' relationship quality and stability. Results suggest that boundary ambiguity is much more prevalent in stepfamilies than original two-parent families and that boundary ambiguity is associated with the structure of the stepfamily. Boundary ambiguity is negatively associated with the quality of the couples relationship and stability of the union, but only from the perspective of wives and female partners.

13. Disneyland Dads, Disneyland Moms? How Nonresident Parents Spend Time with Absent Children.

Author

Stewart, Susan D.

Abstract

Examines gender differences in how nonresident parents spend time with their absent children. Results suggest that nonresident mothers and fathers exhibit a similar pattern of participation in activities with their absent children. Most nonresident parents either engage in only leisure activities with their children or have no contact. (Author/MKA)

Abstract

In the United States, 17% of children and adolescents are overweight and 20% live in a food insecure household. Previous studies examining the association between household food insecurity and overweight among children have been inconclusive but are limited insofar as they did not assess child-specific measures of food insecurity and overweight. In response, this study examined the association between food insecurity and child overweight status when these variables were measured for the same child using information on children (n = 1031) aged 10-15 y from the Three-City Study. Approximately 8% of the children were food insecure, whereas 50% were either at risk of overweight or overweight. Bivariate analyses indicated that there were no significant differences in the prevalence of at risk of overweight and overweight between food secure and food insecure children. Gender, race, and income showed similar patterns. Results from logistic regression analyses also indicated that the likelihood of being overweight or at risk of overweight was not significantly different for food secure and food insecure children. Although child-specific food insecurity was not associated with overweight in this sample of low-income children, food insecurity and overweight coexist among these low-income children, because ~25% of the food insecure children were overweight. Additional research is needed to explore the potential relationships between food insecurity and overweight and to better inform policy that attempts to address these issues among low-income households with children.

22. The complexity of fathers' parenting responsibilities and involvement with nonresident children

Abstract

Most policies that legislate father involvement with nonresident children treat men as if they have obligations to only one set of children. This paper describes the complexity of nonresident fathers' parenting circumstances and assesses whether and how parenting configurations are associated with the fathers' involvement with nonresident children. We find that nonresident fathers often have parenting obligations within and outside their current residences, and that the complexity of these obligations may result in less economic support to and visitation with nonresident children. Our results suggest that new policy efforts need to recognize the complexity of nonresident fathers' family ties. Keywords: nonresident parents; fathers; parenting; men's fertility

23. Nonresident parenting and adolescent adjustment: the quality of nonresident father-child interaction

Abstract

Aside from providing financial support, exactly how nonresident fathers benefit children remains unclear. This article assesses whether the quality of the interaction between nonresident fathers and their children is related to adolescent adjustment, net of visitation frequency. Results suggest that participating in leisure activities with nonresident fathers does not influence children's well-being. Results provide mixed evidence as to whether children benefit from nonresident fathers' involvement in authoritative parenting. Whereas talking to nonresident fathers about 'other things going on at school' is consistently positively related to adjustment, other measures of authoritative parenting are not. Closeness to nonresident fathers, although negatively related to emotional distress, does not mediate the effect of father involvement. Results suggest that we should continue to examine nonresident fathers' involvement in specific aspects of authoritative parenting, as opposed to leisure and recreational activities more typical of nonresident father-child contact.

32. MUSICAL BEDS: THE "TYPICAL" NIGHT OF PARENTS AND CHILDREN WHO CO-SLEEP.

Author

Stewart, Susan D. and Riegle, Adrienne L.

Abstract

Societal awareness of the importance of sleep has been steadily increasing. Poor sleep is associated with a host of negative outcomes including anxiety, reduced work productivity, aggression, obesity, poor school performance, and increased mortality. Although sleep is generally thought of as a solitary activity, numerous studies demonstrate that individual family members' sleep patterns affects one another's health and well-being. Notably absent from this discussion are families who sleep together, referred to as co-sleeping. Although widespread in other cultures, co-sleeping has historically been controversial in the United States. However, recent evidence indicates that co-sleeping, specifically between parents and children, may be making a comeback. This study draws upon in-depth, semi-structured interviews with parents who co-sleep with their children (12 and under). For the purposes of this study, "co-sleeping" is defined as one or both parents sometimes or regularly sleeping with their child(ren) in the same bed or room at night (or part of the night). The findings presented here are based on participants with children age two and older and their descriptions of a "typical night" in their home. Results indicate that in families with young children, sleep patterns are complex, dynamic, and diverse and include children and parents shifting from bed-to-bed during the night, children sleeping together, and children "sneaking in" to their parents' room or bed. Our data indicate the presence of two distinct groups of co-sleepers: intentional and reactive, with reactive co-sleepers further divided into acquiescer and ambivalent groups.

Abstract

The number of parents who share physical custody of their children (also referred to as "joint" custody) has grown steadily over the past three decades. There have been several developments, in particular the passage of state laws in the 1990s favoring shared legal and physical custody in child custody decisions, which suggest that the growth in shared physical custody will continue and will even quicken in pace. Yet, very little known about the specifics of these trends and their implications for family dynamics. This paper addresses three main questions that will be of interest to social scientists studying child custody and children's living arrangements. First, what is the current prevalence of children in the U.S. with "two homes" (i.e., children whose parents have shared physical custody of them)? Second, what is the current status of state laws with respect to decisions about the legal and physical custody of children? And, third, what is life like for modern families in which the parents share physical custody of their children and how useful are our current data sources for understanding family dynamics in these new households?

Abstract

Childhood obesity and, concomitantly, food insecurity and hunger, are issues that disproportionately affect children with absent fathers. In this study, we investigate the relationship between nonresident father involvement and adolescent weight, specifically adolescents' risk of being under- and overweight, using longitudinal data from the National Survey of Adolescent Health (Add Health). Our results indicate that the relationship depends on family income and fathers' obesity, and varies for boys versus girls. Among poor children, involvement with a nonresident father at wave 1 significantly reduces a child's chances of being underweight at wave 2 of the survey (boys and girls). Poor children with overweight fathers experience further reductions in their risk of being underweight. Among higher income children, girls (but not boys) who are involved with an overweight father at wave 1 have an increased risk of being overweight at wave 2. Child support payments are not associated with being at risk of overweight or underweight. Policy efforts aimed at improving child well-being should continue to encourage nonresident father involvement, but should take into account the potentially negative effects of nonresident fathers' obesity on children.

38. Effect of changing mortality on the working life of American men and women, 1970–1990.

Abstract

The mortality patterns of men and women of working age, in terms of the major causes of death, have changed over the past three decades. This study assesses the extent to which mortality among persons of working age represents an economic loss to society. This economic loss is measured by the per capita loss of productive working life, defined as the number of years, on the average, a person can expect to be an active member of the labor force. Causes of death affecting primarily older Americans (heart disease, cancer, stroke) had a relatively small and declining impact on the working lives of men and women. Major causes of death affecting the young (motor vehicle accidents, homicide, AIDS), although accounting for fewer deaths, were responsible for many more years of lost productivity. Gender and socioeconomic differentials in mortality suggest that different strategies are necessary for future reductions in lost work‐years. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
