There are a few cases with disruptions before age 16 for other reasons, but the major difference occurs in reasons at older ages. Most of these have to do with adolescent departures that are not interpreted as being "on their own," (about 10 percent of those responding "no" to M44). Since almost all of this occurs at ages 16 and later, a much better "easy" indicator is to classify respondents on the basis of whether they were living with both parents at age 15, i.e., ((BIOM16 = 1 AND BIOF16 = 1) OR M44 = 1). 2) Interviewers did not consistently follow instructions with respect to the M54 sequence in cases reporting that they never lived with their mother or never lived with their father. About two-thirds of the time they asked this sequence for such cases and in the other third they did not. Only about 10 percent of such cases are because of parental death. It seems likely that the vast majority should be treated as premarital births. 3) Interviewers did not consistently follow instructions to code only the separation from mother when a separation occurred simultaneously from both parents. In many cases, the separation from father is recorded in the adjacent set of fields. In conjunction with point 2 above, this means that there is no necessary match between the number of the separation and the field (e.g., M55T02, M55T03) in which it is recorded. It is best to match age at separation to from the sequences (BIOMBIR-BIOM19, BIOFBIR-BIOM19) AND M54A in order to obtain reasons. 0463 M44 Q.44 Next, I want to ask you some questions about who you lived with while you were growing up. Did you live with both your biological mother and biological father from the time you were born until age 19, or until you left home to be on your own?
