About this Collection

The original Oregon Youth Study began in 1983. The goal was to examine the etiology of antisocial behaviors in boys, with a view to designing preventive interventions within the context of the family and the school. This longitudinal study has expanded over the past few decades into an intergenerational study, retaining the original young men and including their partners and children. Demographic variables include race, religion, annual household income, and the participants' parents' employment statuses. Each Oregon Youth Study Wave is focused on males of a specific two or three year age range, with the target population aging at each wave.

Oregon Youth Study Three Generational Study, Time 6, 2004-2022

This study is part of the Oregon Youth Study (OYS), which began in 1983 and has now become the Three Generational Study (3GS). The aim of the original study was to examine the etiology of antisocial behaviors in boys, with the longer-term goal of designing preventative interventions. The longitudinal study expanded to include data collection regarding the relationships between the original male respondents, their romantic partners, and their offspring. This particular study focuses on the offspring of the original OYS respondents, with targeted ages of 11-12 years. It examines the cognitive and social behavior of both offspring and parents. The rationale for examining the data is to track intergenerational trends in social behavior and health, with the aim to develop preventative interventions in the future.

Oregon Youth Study Three Generational Study, Time 9, 2010-2022

The Oregon Youth Study (OYS) tested a comprehensive model for couples from at-risk backgrounds on the basis of a dynamic developmental systems approach and stress and support processes to examine the risk and protective impacts of romantic relationships on health in adulthood. It was posited that both general and specific developmental and relationship risks have significant implications for health outcomes in mid-adulthood.

This Three Generational Study (3GS) is an intergenerational study linked to two prior studies and data sets, namely the Oregon Youth Study (OYS) which followed the fathers of the 3GS children from when they were in later childhood (aged 9-10 years) into adulthood, and the OYS-Couples study of the OYS men's relationships with women.
