Relative Contribution

Little is known about the unique contribution of schools vs neighborhoods in driving adolescent marijuana use. This study examined the relative contribution of each setting and the influence of school and neighborhood socioeconomic status on use. We performed a series of cross-classified multilevel logistic models predicting past 30-day adolescent (N = 18 329) and young adult (N = 13 908) marijuana use using data from Add Health. Marijuana use differed by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and public assistance in adjusted models. Variance parameters indicated a high degree of clustering by school (σ2 = 0.30) and less pronounced clustering by neighborhood (σ2 = 0.06) in adolescence when accounting for both levels simultaneously in a cross-classified multilevel model. Clustering by school persisted into young adulthood (σ2 = 0.08). Parental receipt of public assistance increased the likelihood of use during adolescence (odds ratio = 1.39; 95% confidence interval: 1.19-1.59), and higher parental education was associated with increased likelihood of use in young adulthood. These findings indicate that both contexts may be promising locations for intervention.

Health Insurance Reform

The literature has explored the effects of welfare policy reforms on womens labor supply. However, a comprehensive analysis has not been conducted regarding the effects of individual policy instruments in public assistance programs. This paper examines whether policy instruments in the public health insurance program affect womens labor supply decisions, specifically, after we control for the effects of policy instruments in the welfare program. The results indicate that, on average, public health insurance policy instruments did not affect womens labor supply. Our analysis implies that, regarding the recent reform on public assistance programs, the crowd-out of private health insurance for public health insurance is less likely to arise via a reduced labor supply channel.
