  • Results are presented for parental imprisonment (age <18 years) for (1) any reported biological father imprisonment, (2) any report of biological mother imprisonment, and (3) combined reports of biological father and mother imprisonment. Model 1 (demographic controls)=parental imprisonment+respondent age+respondent ethnicity+respondent sex. Model 2 (family and neighbourhood controls)=model 1+wave 1 family structure+parent educational attainment+census tract family poverty rate. Model 3 (individual risk controls)=model 1+respondent adolescent BMI+adolescent school attachment+childhood physical abuse+difficult child temperament+adolescent marijuana use+binge drinking prior 12 months+serious adolescent delinquency. Model 4 (sexual risk)=model 1+parental discussion of STI risk+number of sex partners prior to age 18 years. Model 5 (full controls)=all variables used in prior models.

  • BMI, body mass index; STI, sexually transmitted infection.
