About This Product

The Baltimore Multigenerational Family Study: Family Processes of Adolescent and Young Adult Mothers, 1987-1988 is a partial follow-up of the Baltimore Study of Adolescent Mothers begun twenty years ago by Frank Furstenberg and now in its fourth generation. The present study examines 136 African-American teenage mothers, their mothers, and their children in order to understand how family relationships affect the life prospects of the children of teen mothers. Data for this study were gathered by videotape, in-person interview, and psychological assessment. A total of 136 cases were surveyed. Of the 136 total cases, 103 cases contain full interview data; 99 cases contain complete data on all child outcome measures. This data set is comprised of separate data and documentation files for grandmothers (Data Set #M8-M9) and mothers (Data Set #N1-N2). All child outcome measures are included in Data Set #N1-N2. The grandmother's data file contains 1,039 variables; the mother's data file contains 1,210 variables.
