Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between youth assets and truancy in adolescents from both 1-parent and 2-parent households.
- Five waves of data were collected over 4 years from a diverse group of 722 adolescents, using statistical models to analyze the effects of various assets on truancy, controlling for socioeconomic factors.
- Results indicate that certain youth assets are more effective in reducing truancy: five assets for those in 1-parent households versus ten for those in 2-parent households, with a focus on aspirations for the former and community involvement for the latter.
