“…Further informing clinical screening of recent mothers for risk of domestic violence, the descriptive findings from this study are consistent with the profile of higher risk drinking identified in other studies — that higher risk drinkers are more likely to be White (Little, Lambert, & Worthington-Roberts, 1990), unmarried (Jagodzinski & Fleming, 2007), to have at least a college education (Williams Brown, Carmichael Olson, & Croninger, 2010), to report a higher household income (R. Caetano, Ramisetty-Mikler, Floyd, & McGrath, 2006), and to give birth in their mid-30s or older (Liu et al, 2015). We also found that higher risk drinkers are less likely to have additional children in the home.…”

“…This is a critical question because women’s consumption of alcohol tends to resume post childbirth (Liu, Mumford, & Petras, 2015; Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2008). Moreover, while research indicates that maternal alcohol use and domestic violence are likely confounded by partner alcohol use, most studies do not take into account partner alcohol use (Jester et al, 2000; Martin et al, 2003; Meschke et al, 2008).…”

There has been limited investigation of mothers’ drinking patterns and their experience of domestic abuse while parenting young children, especially in the context of co-resident fathers’ drinking. Using data representative of the 2001 U.S. birth cohort, the authors conducted longitudinal latent class analyses of maternal drinking over four perinatal time points as predictors of maternal victimization at two years postpartum due to intimate partner violence. Women classified as higher risk drinkers over the study period faced significantly increased risk of physical abuse while parenting a two-year old child. Among non-drinking mothers, paternal binge drinking signaled additional risk, with clinical and programmatic implications.

“…Despite a concerning level of concurrent use during the perinatal period and shared risk factors, e.g., mental disorders (Ingersoll, Hettema, Cropsey, & Jackson, 2011), being unmarried (Tsai, et al, 2010), curtailed breastfeeding (Jagodzinski & Fleming 2007), longitudinal patterns of maternal smoking (Mumford & Liu 2015) and drinking (Liu, Mumford, & Petras, 2015) have only been modeled separately. To inform public health and clinical efforts in better allocating prevention efforts, we investigate distinct trajectories representing single and dual usage of alcohol and cigarettes by mothers from pre-conception through the early parenting years, and the extent to which mothers’ baseline characteristics are associated with these patterns.…”

The purpose of this longitudinal study was to investigate whether there are distinct etiological processes explaining dual usage of alcohol and conventional cigarettes by mothers from pre-conception through the early parenting years. Data on 8,800 biological mothers were drawn from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (ECLS-B), representative of U.S. births in 2001. A general growth mixture model (GGMM) was used to empirically identify developmental trajectories of maternal smoking and drinking over the five-to-six year study period. Six classes defined by alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking were identified. These included a non-smoking, low probability of drinking class (41%) and two drinking classes displaying no smoking with either moderate (26%) or escalating high (8%) probability drinking. Additionally, two predominantly smoking classes were identified, one displaying temporary reduction in smoking during pregnancy and low probability of drinking (11%) and one following a trajectory of persistent heavy smoking with a declining probability of drinking (9%). The sixth class was described by temporary reduction in smoking during pregnancy with high probability of drinking (6%). Covariates differentially predicted class membership, e.g., having a high school degree but not further education predicted concurrent drinking and smoking, and breastfeeding for more than six months is protective against concurrent use. Prior to conception, during prenatal care, and in post-natal clinical visits, whether for personal or pediatric care, screening women of reproductive age via characteristics that predict heterogeneity in smoking and drinking trajectories may help guide prevention and treatment options.

“…Little et al (2009) investigate trajectories of alcohol use from early adolescence to age thirty as a function of parenthood timing, finding that adolescent parenthood is linked to faster increases during adolescence, and higher sustained levels of, in the volume of alcohol consumption. Finally, a pair of studies by Liu, Mumford & Petras (2015 use growth mixture models to examine heterogeneous trajectories of mothers' alcohol use up to five years after (and immediately before) birth.…”

“…In sum, the (small) body of evidence regarding a potential moderating effect of fertility timing on trajectories of alcohol use is inconsistent -some research (Wolfe 2009;Little et al 2009) finds that early birth timing is linked to faster subsequent increases in alcohol use, while others (Liu, Mumford & Petras 2015; show the opposite effect.…”

Family formation patterns and physical health in Australia: a life course approach

Social science has long studied the relationships between processes of family formation and health, although empirical patterns in this domain of study are often variable, and their interpretation uncertain. Constrained by lack of suitable data, analytic techniques, and conceptual tools, work in this area has until recently been largely static, focussed on documenting and interpreting crosssectional associations between occupancy of family roles and health. However, as data and methodology matured and developed economies continued their transition away from the once dominant 'male breadwinner' model of the family, more sophisticated approaches that acknowledge the dynamic relationships between family formation and health have become both more feasible and more urgent.This thesis applies a life course approach to the study of family formation and health in the (2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014), and form the primary material for four empirical chapters. The first empirical chapter utilizes multichannel sequence analysis and growth models to investigate how holistic patterns of family formation (incorporating both partnership and fertility trajectories from ages 18-50) are associated with trajectories of physical health at ages 51 and older. For men, family life course trajectories characterized by early family formation, failure to marry, or early divorce without subsequent remarriage are found to be predictive of poorer health outcomes, while for women only those who experienced high fertility paired with a disrupted marital history were found to be in poorer health than those who experienced a normatively 'standard' family life course.The second, third, and fourth empirical chapters focus on different aspects of the relationship between parental age at first birth and later life heath. The first of these contextualizes changes in first birth timing in historical context, presents a descriptive analysis of the characteristics of younger/older first time mothers and fathers, and uses multinomial logistic regression to assess the contribution of early-life family and socio-economic disadvantage, health, and cognitive and noncognitive skills to first birth timing. Consistent with prior research, background family disadvantage and age at school leaving was found to have strong effects on birth timing, in particular for women.ii There was also some evidence of health selection into early first birth, with the largest effects again found for women.The third empirical chapter considers the effect of first birth timing on long-term health outcomes (ages 41 and older). In addition to the primary issue of whether there is an effect of birth timing on health, the analysis pays particular attention to several research questions: first, which pre- as mechanisms, as changes at the time of the parenthood transition and in the years thereafter did not differ depending on age at first birth. Younger parents do experience potentially harmful changes in alcohol use and soc...
