Topic: Do children from divorced homes have a higher risk of substance abuse and suicide? Abstract: “The influences of parental divorce and alcohol abuse on adult offspring lifetime suicide attempt have not been examined in national data. This study analyzed data from the 2001–2002 NESARC to estimate main and interaction effects of parental divorce and alcohol abuse on lifetime suicide attempt. Adjusted for controls, parental divorce and parental alcohol abuse independently increased odds of lifetime suicide attempt. The effect of parental divorce was not significantly moderated by parental alcohol abuse. Further research is needed to examine whether additional parental and offspring psychiatric and substance use covariates attenuate the association between parental divorce and lifetime suicide attempt. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)” As the abstract states, this is a study on the lifelong risks of substance abuse and suicide attempts in kids from divorced homes. The study goes into more depth at the underlying factors that parent plays in their child’s formative years and if that parent has a substance abuse problem or a history of depression or mental illness, then the child has a higher risk of carrying this on into their adult life. Furthermore, the absence of one or both parents in the child’s life can lead to emotional issues as well. This study uses areas of focus such as samples, measures, offspring lifetime suicide attempts, parental divorce, parental alcohol abuse, parental depression, offspring alcohol abuse, offspring sociodemographic characteristics, offspring depression, and statistical analysis to create a robust research. This is an important topic that needs to be addressed as it deals with not only the substance abuse problem that is plaguing our youth but also the mental illnesses that is driving suicide rates up to historically high numbers.

Criteria Short Protocol (i.e., Short Paper) An important skill for policy analysts is the ability to communicate analytical frameworks (i.e., economic, statistical, financial) and concepts to policy makers. The short paper will help you develop this skill. The format is 12 font, Times New Roman, double-spaced and should contain only the following five pages: Page 1: Title Page (topic, name, date) Pages 2, 3, and 4: Main paper not to exceed three pages Page 5: References in APA format For this short paper, select a policy area that interests you (crime in urban areas, education for immigrant students, transportation in coastal areas, etc.). Be narrow in the focus area. Now, refer to p. 95 (exhibit 4.3), the Sample Research Protocol. Prepare a similar report for your selected policy area. Make sure you have at least three peerreviewed sources and at least a total of eight sources.
