At Grade 6, family composition included intact parents (38%), single-parent (19%), step-parent (29%), and multiple parent transition (14%). The proportion of single-parent families was between 14% and 17% through Grade 12. Parents living with the youth were invited to participate at each wave. At Grade 6, 191 mothers and 140 fathers participated, and at Grade 12, 188 mothers and 128 fathers participated. Both parents participated in 53% to 64% of the families across the period. The values for mothers and fathers were computed separately, standardized for each construct, and then the mean was computed.
