Abstract:

This paper explores factors affecting process outcomes related to nonresponse in the context of multi-round cohort samples like that used in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (the Add Health Study), a school-based health study of teenagers with several rounds of in-home follow-up. Using both questionnaire and ancillary process data from the first three rounds of the Add Health Study, we obtain our findings from a series of logistic regression models for various outcome indicators. These models pay particular attention to the comparative contributions of environmental, behavioral, and ancillary process effects. We examine our findings in light of other comparable work on studies of the general population.
