The NLSY79 Health module provides a rich array of health
information beyond the SF-12, which permits further
research into the association of teen-motherhood with different
health-outcomes. Finally, longitudinal information is
also available the children of the female respondents of
NLSY79, which provide a rich resource for comparing
outcomes of the children of teen-mothers to the children of
their counterparts, to understand whether the effects of
teen-motherhood persist across generations.
