# Publications involving the kinship links

The following publication list includes research products that used the NLSY79 or NLSY-Children/Young Adult kinship links. Note that research presentations have not been included on this list, except for those that occurred during the course of the two most recent NIH grants (2011-2014; 2017-2021). Otherwise, journal articles, book chapters, and theses/dissertations, are included within this list.

We have been distributing the NLSY kinship links for close to two decades, and only began collecting this archive of articles around ten years ago. There are likely some additional publications based on the kinship links of which we are not aware. If you know of such papers, please bring them to our attention.

Researchers and grad students interested using the NLSY for Behavior Genetics and family research, please start with our 2016 article, The NLSY Kinship Links: Using the NLSY79 and NLSY-Children Data to Conduct Genetically-Informed and Family-Oriented Research.
