“…This type of neighborhood monitoring is believed to provide informal social control, especially important in disadvantaged neighborhoods where risks for children are more pronounced. The present study also presumes that behavior occurs within an ecodevelopmental context, in which child development is nested within the family that in turn is nested within a neighborhood, community and larger society (Barker, 1968;Bronfenbrenner, 1979;Szapocznik & Coatsworth, 1999). Measurement of the physical environment within ecodevelopmental theory is an understudied but critical component of the ecodevelopmental context.…”

To determine effective relationships between the built environment and health and well-being, a transdisciplinary team of architectural, behavioral and health scientists developed a built environment coding system (UMBECS). They examined the relationship of resulting streetscape features to health and well-being at the block level. The research team conducted studies of the validity of UMBECS focusing on children through school conduct and grades, and on elders through a longitudinal cognitive functioning study. For children, contrary to popularly held views, commercial-residential mix was as effective as a high proportion of residential use in predicting children's school outcomes (i.e., better conduct, achievement, effort, and grades). For elders, modest but statistically significant relationships existed between block-level features, elders' neighboring behaviors, and social support, which in turn were significantly associated with cognitive and affective functioning. These findings suggest the utility of this built environment coding system for examining the relationship of built environment features to residents' health and well-being. UMBECS offers a useful tool for developing a viable transdisciplinary model of the role of the built environment in behavioral and health outcomes.

“…Bridges' design was guided by an ecodevelopmental framework (Szapocznik & Coatsworth, 1999) that recognizes youth need to adapt to multiple contexts (e.g., families, schools) and unique cultural factors (e.g., acculturation). Bridges has nine group sessions and two home visits (HVs), for 11 total sessions.…”

This study used growth mixture modeling to examine attendance trajectories among 292Mexican American primary female caregivers enrolled in a universal preventive intervention and the effects of health beliefs, participation intentions, cultural influences, and intervention group cohesion on trajectory group membership as well as trajectory group differences on a distal higher externalizing children with lower GPAs. Caregivers in the two persistent attender groups reported strong group cohesion and providers rated these caregivers as having strong participation intentions. Children of caregivers in the LRPA group had the lowest T2 child externalizing. Children of caregivers in the MPT group had lower T2 externalizing than did those of the ET group, suggesting partial intervention dosage can benefit families. Despite high levels of attendance, children of caregivers in the HRPA had the highest T2 externalizing, suggesting this high-risk group needed either more intensive services or a longer period for parents to implement program skills to evidence change in child externalizing.

“…Ecodevelopmental Theory (Szapocznik and Coatsworth, 1999) offers a framework of sexual activity and psychological adjustment in relation to social and personal factors. Risk is viewed within a social context that includes multiple interacting systems, most notably families, peers, communities, and schools (Perrino et al, 2000).…”

“…Evidence supports the family as the most fundamental influence on adolescent behavior (Combrinck-Graham, 1989;Small and Luster, 1994). Complex relations among multiple social contexts heighten or diminish the likelihood of adolescent sexual risk-taking and psychopathology (Perrino et al, 2000), but risk is lowest when connections between systems (e.g., parents and children) are healthy, close, and positive (Szapocznik and Coatsworth, 1999). Consistent with Ecodevelopmental Theory, research links sexual behavior with two important social factors, parenting styles and peer behavior and attitudes (Brooks-Gunn and Paikoff, 1993; Hofferth and Hayes, 1987).…”

Objective: To identify the most important social and personal characteristics related to early sexual debut among troubled teenagers. Method:One hundred ninety-eight youths aged 12-19 years were recruited from outpatient mental health clinics and completed self-reports and interviews about their age of sexual debut; family, peer, and partner relationships (e.g., parental hostile control, negative peer influence, need for intimacy); and personal characteristics (e.g., achievement motivation, externalizing problems). Broad-band (externalizing, internalizing) and narrow-band (depression/anxiety, delinquency) psychopathology was assessed with the Youth Self-Report and Child Behavior Checklist.Results: Optimal Data Analysis was used to generate a classification tree model to identify variables associated with whether or not youths initiated oral, vaginal, and/or anal sexual activity before or after age 14. Three social context variables (parental hostile control, negative and positive peer influence) and one personal characteristic (externalizing problems) correctly classified 87.4% of teenagers as initiating sexual activity at ≤14 or >14 years of age. Conclusions:Parental behavior and peer influence were the most important variables associated with the timing of sexual debut. Results support a social-personal framework for understanding sexual risk-taking among adolescents in psychiatric care, and the data offer relatively strong evidence that specific factors could be used to identify troubled teens at risk for early sexual debut. Keywords adolescents; sexual debut; social-personal context; psychiatric careIt has been 20 years since the first case of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) was diagnosed, and despite efforts to curb the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), rates of infection are rising among adolescents. Young people account for 25% of new sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) reported annually, and the number of HIV-infected youths doubles every 14 months (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 1998[CDC], , 2000a. Sexual activity is the primary mechanism of HIV transmission among teens (DiClemente, 1996;Pequagnat and Szapocznik, 2000), with 57% of males and 49% of females infected through sexual contact, but only 8% of males and 11% of females infected through intravenous drug use (CDC, 2000a). Teenagers are initiating sex at earlier ages (CDC, 2000a) NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript debut is associated with higher HIV exposure because it is linked to more frequent sexual intercourse, more lifetime STDs, less consistent contraceptive use, and more sexual partners (Brooks-Gunn and Paikoff, 1993; CDC, 1992;Durbin et al., 1993;Miller et al., 1999). Some youths are at greater risk than others. Teens in psychiatric care, for example, engage in higher rates of sexual risk-taking than their same-age peers (Brown et al., 1997;Donenberg et al., 2001); they initiate sex at earlier ages and report high rates of sex without a condom, sex w...
