Does Parents Education Affect the Pathways of Early Initiators?
We have addressed the question of whether adolescent family structure may influence the paths of early initiators and found that intact families are generally the best at helping adolescents avoid most negative consequences of risky behaviors. However, even in intact families, some adolescents will develop adulthood problems while others do not. In this section we go deeper into the family environment and consider another measure, the family’s socioeconomic status, again represented by parents’ education. Two adolescents from the same family type, both of whom initiate early into one or more risky behaviors, may face different consequences. One may end up with adulthood problems while the other doesn’t. Within family types, what makes the difference? We seek to determine if parents’ education plays a role in influencing the pathway for early initiators within a given family type. In addition to limiting the sample to early initiators, we further restrict the analysis to sample members
