1. The NLSY coding distinguishes between sibling and step sibling or adoptive sibling. As an additional screen, I prepared profiles for each subject based on the question that asks whether the subject was living with his or her parents at various ages, requiring that both members of a sibling pair reported living with their parents at birth and that the older sibling had consistently reported living with both parents in all the years up to and including the birth year of the younger sibling. I used the same profiles of answers to determine whether both siblings had lived together through at least age seven of the younger sibling.
