- W74029174 abstract "Children of incarcerated parents are at significantly increased risk of negative long-term outcomes. With about 1% of the adult population incarcerated, the United States has millions of children at risk for these negative effects. Although research on children of incarcerated parents is increasing, it is still unclear whether they are at an additional risk for poor school performance as a specific result of parental incarceration above that associated with their social and economic status. This study examined whether a link exists between parental incarceration and the educational performance of offspring in an urban, southeastern location. Analyses revealed a trend in lower annual test scores for children with incarcerated parents when compared with children in single-parent households of similar socioeconomic status. Children with incarcerated parents were also 3.7 times more likely to be raised by a caregiver with less than a high school education. The findings of this study will be useful in helping schools, communities, and service organizations more accurately identify high-risk students and formulate effective intervention programs for these children. This study also demonstrated a successful cooperation with an established mentoring organization in order to access a traditionally “invisible” study population. Studying children of the incarcerated is difficult due to confidentiality and stigmatization concerns; however, working with a trusted, successful community organization provided a means to overcoming these barriers. Demographics Introduction Children of incarcerated parents are perhaps the greatest casualty of war in the War against Drugs over the past two decades. The emphasis placed on stringent punitive measures had an unanticipated effect. These children are vulnerable to a number of issues that increase their risk for poor academic performance, including school mobility, truancy, and insufficient adult support. They are also believed to be more likely to experience emotional disturbances and stress responses that impact cognitive development, and ultimately, school performance. Prior to this study, little empirical evidence had been analyzed to understand the implications of parental incarceration on children, particularly on school performance. Hence the following two research questions were investigated: 1. Will children of incarcerated parents show an overall significantly poorer level of school performance as compared to the comparison group? 2. What factors present in the lives of children with incarcerated parents (particularly parental incarceration) significantly predict poorer individual school performance during elementary and middle school years?" @default.
