Data from a national sample of 1,029 adolescents, aged 10-14, were analyzed. Results show that poor youth were .36 times as likely to own a home computer, but equally as likely to use their home computer for academic purposes as were non-poor youth. Poor youth did not differ from non-poor youth in how often they used any computer for academic purposes, but were less likely to use any computer for non-academic purposes. Government initiatives to close the digital divide & foster computer use among poor youth are suggested. 3 Tables, 45 References. Adapted from the source document.
