Description
THIS ARTICLE INVESTIGATES the relationship between maternal alcohol abuse (AA)/alcohol dependence (AD), child behavior problems, and child home environment in a sample of young women and their children drawn from the 1994 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Propensity scores were used to form matched comparison groups based on maternal characteristics. The main objectives of this undertaking were to employ propensity score (PS) matching to determine whether child behavior problems and home-environment deficiencies associated with maternal AA/AD are a possible causal result of alcohol and to quantify these effects. We focused on maternal AA/AD and its impact on children's behavioral health and home environment for two reasons. First, information on paternal alcohol use is not available from the 1994 NLSY. Second, despite movement toward more egalitarian household gender roles, more women than men continue to work either part time or not at all outside the home in order to devote time to child care activities, particularly while children are younger. Even among women who work full time, the time they spend in childcare and household activities exceeds that of their spouses (Hersch, 1991). This fact suggests that maternal AA/AD, even though less prevalent than paternal AA/AD, may have a greater impact on child outcomes.
