Abstract

This brief uses National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) data to identify predictors of problematic transitions to adulthood. Because of the wide prevalence of depression and suicidal ideation among U.S. adolescents, it is important to identify the unique influence of moderate-to-severe depressive and suicidal symptoms in adolescence on the transition to adulthood.
