“…Specifically, the results provide important new insights for health care professionals who work with high-risk youth in a range of settings. The results underscore the importance of understanding the impact of risks factors across the adolescent years, the need to include parents (Hooven et al, 2011), and to assess both positive and negative aspects of the parent–adolescent relationship in both treatment planning and research design. Given that the parent–adolescent relationship predicts adolescent adaptation (Brennan et al, 2003; Burt et al, 2006), the findings also point to opportunities for intervention.…”

“…This study was based on longitudinal data from Preventing Drug Abuse: Parents And Youth with Schools (PAYS) , a longitudinal study designed to evaluate the efficacy of the PAYS intervention program (see also Hooven, Walsh, Willgerodt, & Salazar, 2011). Participants in the initial study were chosen at random from a pool of adolescents at risk for school failure or dropout, using verified sampling criteria from school performance records including poor academic performance, poor attendance, and prior dropout status.…”

Background Although the parent–adolescent relationship has been studied intensely, predictors and consequences of changes in the quality of the relationship across time have not been examined. Objectives This study examined the role of parent depression on changes in the parent–adolescent relationship, defined as support and conflict, and subsequent effects of relationship change on adolescent psychosocial outcomes including risky behavior, substance use, depressive symptoms, and hopelessness. Method Using data from a large prevention study, the sample included 110 youth at risk for high school drop out from the control condition; the sample was 48.2% of female, with a mean age of 15.9 years. The data, gathered from adolescents and their parents across a period of approximately 18 months, were analyzed using growth mixture modeling. Results Three distinct trajectories for parent–adolescent conflict (high-decreasing, low-increasing, low-stable trajectory) were identified as well as a single growth model for support, which revealed a slight decline in support across time. Parent depression was a significant predictor of perceived support, but not of membership in trajectories of conflict. Low parent–adolescent support was associated with adolescent depression and hopelessness measured 18 months post-baseline. Adolescents in the low but increasing conflict trajectory and those having a parent with depression reported increased depression and hopelessness 18 months later. Discussion Parent–Adolescent support and conflict were associated with adolescent emotional outcomes, particularly depression and hopelessness. The findings provide evidence that will inform prevention strategies to facilitate parent–adolescent support, minimize the negative impact of relationship conflict, and thereby promote healthy psychosocial outcomes for at-risk adolescence.

“…Specifically, interventions that focus on parental involvement in schooling pose fewer obstacles and are likely to encounter less resistance from families than traditional approaches that openly emphasize the prevention of substance use [60]. In the present study, we define parental involvement as parental allocation of resources (e.g., time, cognitive and emotional resources) to child’s schooling in the three domains proposed by Hill and Tyson [52], i.e., home-based, school-based, and academic socialization.…”

The literature has been mixed regarding how parent–child relationships are affected by the acculturation process and how this process relates to alcohol use among Latino youth. The mixed results may be due to, at least, two factors: First, staggered migration in which one or both parents arrive to the new country and then send for the children may lead to faster acculturation in parents than in children for some families. Second, acculturation may have different effects depending on which aspects of alcohol use are being examined. This study addresses the first factor by testing for a curvilinear trend in the acculturation-alcohol use relationship and the second by modeling past year alcohol use as a zero inflated negative binomial distribution. Additionally, this study examined the unique and mediation effects of parent–child acculturation discrepancies (gap), mother involvement in children’s schooling, father involvement in children’s schooling, and effective parenting on youth alcohol use during the last 12 months, measured as the probability of using and the extent of use. Direct paths from parent–child acculturation discrepancy to alcohol use, and mediated paths through mother involvement, father involvement, and effective parenting were also tested. Only father involvement fully mediated the path from parent–child acculturation discrepancies to the probability of alcohol use. None of the variables examined mediated the path from parent–child acculturation discrepancies to the extent of alcohol use. Effective parenting was unrelated to acculturation discrepancies; however, it maintained a significant direct effect on the probability of youth alcohol use and the extent of use after controlling for mother and father involvement. Implications for prevention strategies are discussed.

“…The first two retention strategies (mailed reminders and retrying a non-working telephone number) were selected because they are used traditionally in research studies 19 and represent the methods by which teenagers commonly communicate with each other and with adults. 20, 21 The third and fourth retention strategies (social media and school staff assistance) were selected based on the current mode of communication known to be widely used among urban youth today 20 and on our relationship with the schools. Research staff was encouraged to try each of the four retention strategies and to record the date and time of each attempted contact.…”

Reconnecting with urban youth enrolled in a randomized controlled trial and overdue for a 12-month follow-up survey

Background Retention of study participants in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is crucial to study validity. Purpose We analyzed the result of four retention strategies used to reconnect with urban teens enrolled in a school-based randomized controlled trial (RCT) and overdue for a 12-month follow-up survey. Methods Traditional retention strategies used to reconnect with teens categorized as “unable to contact” were weekly re-dials of non-working telephone numbers and mailings to the student’s home. Non-traditional retention strategies were obtaining assistance from school administration and communication through Facebook. Results Of the 422 students enrolled, 125 (29.5%) were overdue for a 12-month follow-up survey, but had no working telephone number (unable to contact). We made 196 attempts to contact these 125 students, of which 82 attempts (41.8%) were successful in “reconnecting,” defined as (1) a student contacting research staff as a result of a mailed notice; (2) a research staff member leaving a voicemail at a previously disconnected telephone number; (3) a student responding to Facebook outreach; or (4) research staff obtaining a new telephone number and talking to a person at the new telephone number. We used “ mailed reminder letters” as the referent category, in our analysis. Odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for the association between the strategy used and success (“reconnecting”) for telephone number re-dials, Facebook, and school administration assistance were 4.60 (1.8–11.8), 1.94 (1.01–3.73), and 2.91 (0.58–14.50), respectively. Limitations Retention strategies were not applied hierarchically or systematically across students, and we were unable to ascertain student preference for a particular strategy. In addition, our findings may be applicable only to study populations with characteristics similar to those of students included in this study. Conclusion Overall, of the 422 students who enrolled in the study, 380 (90%), ultimately completed the 12-month follow-up survey. A mix of traditional retention strategies, such as telephone number re-dials, and more contemporary methods, such as use of Facebook, were effective in reconnecting with urban teenagers enrolled in a school-based RCT, and controlling attrition during the 12-month follow-up survey period.
