title: Oregon Youth Study Three Generational Study, Time 7, 2006-2022
title: Version 1

description: The original Oregon Youth Study (OYS) 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.
The Oregon Youth Study-Three Generational Study (OYS-3GS) was initiated in 1995 and involves the children born to men who were recruited in 1984-85 (OYS), along with their parents.
description: The purpose of this study is to examine the intergenerational transmission of antisocial behavior and related problem behaviors, particularly substance use, using a fully prospective design.
description: Men were asked regularly if they had fathered a child, and if so, the child and mother were invited by telephone to participate in the Three Generational Study when the child was aged 18 months to 2 years (Wave 1). Assessments involved two separate appointments at each wave (one for mother and child and one for father and child). Wave 8 evaluates their offspring aged 13-14.
description: This data contains information about the original OYS male respondents', their partners' and their offspring's social behavior, emotional and mental health, substance use, parenting styles, and criminal history. Demographic variables include race, gender and age.
description: The OYS-3GS included up to two children from each of the G2 men's female partners who were mothers of his biological children. In this wave, offspring ages range from 13 to 14.

The waves also had complex, multi-visit assessment schedules that some families had difficulty fulfilling. These complexities resulted in a wide range for the number of participants completing various instruments.Please refer to the User Guide for help understanding variable names.
