Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The connection between education and health has repeatedly been documented in research. From a systemic perspective there are many influences which could be accounting for this association, one key area being the parent-adolescent relationship. Parent-adolescent relationships have independently been associated with educational attainment as well as physical and mental health outcomes. The prospective study, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 cohort (n = 8,984; 52% white, 26% Black, 21% Hispanic 1% mixed race) was used to estimate the connections between parent-adolescent relationship quality in 1997, mental health in 2000, and physical health in 2009 and overall educational attainment. Results from path models suggested that the quality of the parent-adolescent relationship was a significant positive predictor of educational attainment and health. Findings provide an important perspective to understand how relationships may affect mental health, education and physical health over time. This information will inform researchers, clinicians, educators, and healthcare professionals in prioritizing and further understanding the importance of parent-child relationships, and how these variables influence long-term outcomes into adulthood.
