9e Ch8: Research About the Social Problems

In Thorsen and Pearce-Morris’s (2016) study on the impact of adolescent mental health on marital outcomes, they use data from the Child and Young Adult Supplement to the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NSLY79).

What feature of survey methodology is best highlighted in Thorsen and Pearce-Morris’s use of the supplemental data to the NLSY79?
