To document the association between parental separation and school dropout in adolescence and to examine the factors that may potentially account for this association.
Data stem from the large youth@hordaland study that was linked to the Norwegian National Educational Database to obtain objective measures of educational outcomes and disposable income ( = 8323). Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between parental separation and school dropout. A Fairlie post-regression decomposition was used to examine the influence of parental education, household income, health complaints, family cohesion, and peer problems in explaining the association between parental separation and school dropout.
Parental separation was associated with a higher odds ratio (OR) of school dropout in crude and adjusted (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)) analyses (OR=2.16, 95% confidence interval (CI) =1.90-2.45; AOR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.50-2.00). About 31% of the higher odds of school dropout among adolescents with separated parents was explained by the covariates. The decomposition analysis suggested that parental education (43%) and disposable income (20%) accounted for most of the explained differences in school dropout.
Adolescents with separated parents are at higher risk for not completing secondary education. Parental education and disposable income accounted for most of the explained differences in school dropout between the groups. Still, the majority of the difference in school dropout remained unaccounted for, indicating that the link between parental separation and school dropout is complex and likely influenced by multiple factors.
记录青春期父母离异与辍学之间的关联，并探究可能解释这种关联的因素。
数据源自大型的“霍达兰青年研究”，该研究与挪威国家教育数据库相链接，以获取教育成果和可支配收入的客观测量数据（n = 8323）。采用逻辑回归分析来研究父母离异与辍学之间的关联。使用费尔利回归后分解法来检验父母教育程度、家庭收入、健康问题、家庭凝聚力和同伴问题在解释父母离异与辍学之间关联时的影响。
在粗分析和校正分析（校正比值比（AOR））中，父母离异与较高的辍学比值比（OR）相关（OR = 2.16，95%置信区间（CI）= 1.90 - 2.45；AOR = 1.72，95%CI = 1.50 - 2.00）。父母离异的青少年中较高的辍学几率约31%可由协变量解释。分解分析表明，父母教育程度（43%）和可支配收入（20%）占辍学解释差异的大部分。
父母离异的青少年未完成中等教育的风险更高。父母教育程度和可支配收入占两组间辍学解释差异的大部分。然而，辍学差异的大部分仍无法解释，这表明父母离异与辍学之间的联系很复杂，可能受多种因素影响。
