“…The presence of grandparents in the household may improve parent-child relations and reduce emotional and behavioral problems among adolescents [41,42]. However, in this study we found that children who were cared for mainly by grandparents had a marginally poor QOL.…”

“…This may be attributable partially to a deficit in monitoring (e.g., Lac & Crano, 2009); however, without further information on custodial parent/caregiver in single-parent or absent-parent families, definitive conclusions about monitoring of the adolescents in these households cannot be drawn. Some studies have found that adolescents who do not live with their parents may be adequately monitored by other relatives with whom they do live (Hamilton, 2005; Strom, Collinsworth, Strom, & Griswold, 1993). The present results indicate a systematic difference between adolescents who were not living with either parent and those from dual parent families, though it cannot be determined whether this is because of the amount or quality of their monitoring or some other factor (see Hemovich et al, 2011).…”

This study sought to distinguish among adolescents who were persistent, non-persistent, or recent onset nonmedical users of prescription opioids and stimulants (respondents’ ages ranged from 12–17 years, N = 126,764). Multinomial logistic regression analyses of combined data from the 2003 through 2009 National Survey of Drug Use and Health were used to investigate the association of respondents’ sex, age, family income, race, parental status, population density, and user status (persistent, non-persistent, recent onset) on common illicit substances (cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and inhalants) with opioid and stimulant use. Odds of nonmedical opioid and stimulant use were significantly greater for females than males, and increased with age. Results were mixed for income, race, and parental status. Population density was largely unrelated to nonmedical use. Persistent nonmedical users of common illicit substances, especially marijuana and inhalants, were at greatest risk for nonmedical opioid and stimulant use. Non-persistent use of common illicit substances was a strong predictor of both non-persistent opioid and stimulant use. Recent onset of common substance use predicted recent onset of prescription opioid and stimulant use. Results indicate that persistence may be related to polysubstance use involving prescription opioids and stimulants, supporting efforts to investigate the underlying causes of polysubstance use.

“…Two indicators of psychological adjustment, internalizing and externalizing behaviors, have been targeted in prior studies of sibling relationships, particularly during adolescence (Hamilton, 2005; Pilowsky, Wickramaratne, Nomura, & Weissman, 2006). Among siblings in adulthood, Hicks et al (2013) found that sibling similarity, over and above parent-child similarity, uniquely contributed to a greater environmental risk for externalizing problems; this sample included twins, non-twin biological siblings, and adoptive siblings (average age = 26 years).…”

In many families, siblings play important roles in shaping each other’s outcomes and experiences across development. In adoptive families, siblings may affect adoptees’ feelings about adoption and birth family contact. Among “target adoptees” (i.e., one participating adopted individual within adoptive families) with siblings who may have also been adopted or the biological children of the adoptive parents, we examined how adoption experiences and individual adjustment from adolescence into emerging adulthood were associated with sibling relationship dynamics. We present three studies using longitudinal, mixed method data within the same overarching sample of adoptive families. Study 1 was a follow-up to Berge et al.’s (2006) study of adolescent adoptees and their adopted siblings with birth family contact; we found evidence of changes in the status of contact collectively experienced by 26 adopted sibling pairs when target adoptees were emerging adults. In Study 2, we found that target adoptees (n = 91) with siblings (adopted or not) who were more involved with target adoptees’ birth family contact demonstrated more favorable behavioral outcomes than target adoptees who had uninvolved siblings. Finally in Study 3, for target adoptees with siblings who were also adopted (n = 51), results showed that target adoptees felt more positively about their own adoption when siblings expressed similar positive feelings about individual adoption experiences. Implications of our findings are discussed in terms of the enduring contributions of sibling relationships from childhood into adulthood, and the unique ways in which adoptive siblings are important in shaping one another’s experiences of adoption.
