“…For example, one study found similar likelihood of sexual communication in Hispanic and African American families, which the authors found surprising considering previous racial/ethnic findings in parenting culture (Forehand & Kotchick, 1996).…”

Study findings indicate that more research on adolescent sexual behavior is warranted, specifically examining the differentials between variables that affect intentions and those that affect behavior. A focus on gender and age differences during intervention development may allow for better targeting and more efficacious interventions. Adding peer and media influences to the framework of attitudes, parenting, and neighborhood may offer more insight into patterns of adolescent sexual behavior risk.

“…Most parenting programs were originally designed for non-Hispanic White, middle-class parents and then later applied to other populations (Coard et al, 2004;Forehand & Kotchick, 1996;Gorman & Balter, 1997). Some of these programs relied on parents' reading skills or applied strategies that were congruent with White, middle-class values (Forehand & Kotchick, 1996;Martinez & Eddy, 2005).…”

“…In addition, most interventions targeting parents of young children were not specifically designed to address the needs of low-income or ethnic minority families, two growing segments of the U.S. population (Coard, Wallace, Stevenson, & Brotman, 2004;Forehand & Kotchick, 1996;Gorman & Balter, 1997). Families in poverty are among those facing the greatest challenges raising young children but the least likely to access mental health care.…”

Although the majority of young children growing up in low-income communities will not experience mental health problems, a proportion of children will develop problems that can be painful for families and costly to society. There is growing consensus that preventive interventions in the first 5 years of life are the most cost-effective strategy for reducing children's mental health problems. The purposes of this article are to (a) present the case for providing health promotion and preventive interventions to economically disadvantaged parents of young children as standard practice in early childhood programs and (b) describe the feasibility and utility of incorporating mental health promotion services in child care centers serving low-income families using the Chicago Parent Program (CPP) as an example. The CPP is an evidence-based intervention designed in collaboration with low-income, ethnic minority parents to promote positive parenting skills and reduce behavior problems in young children.

Bedtime noncompliance is one of the most common and treatable types of child sleep problems. Children who are noncompliant at bedtime are more likely to exhibit daytime somnolescence, which may in turn lead children to exhibit daytime misbehavior, impaired social functioning and poorer school achievement. In addition, these bedtime problems can have a number of negative consequences for members of the child's family, including parental sleep deprivation and depression. Behavioral parent-training approaches are considered the treatments of choice for bedtime noncompliance in young children. In this paper, we describe the evidence supporting a number of such approaches. We highlight several gaps in the treatment literature and we make recommendations for future research. Keywords: Bedtime Noncompliance, Parent Training, Sleep Problems Bedtime noncompliance in preschool and elementary-school school aged children is typically characterized by stalling, whining, or tantruming when bedtime approaches. Almost all children will exhibit these behaviors at some point in their young lives. Most parents have the skills to handle milder forms of bedtime noncompliance. However, when the intensity, duration, or frequency of these behaviors leads to disruptions in a family's functioning, mental health professionals can offer substantial help. These bedtime behaviors are best classified diagnostically as Behavioral Insomnia of Childhood, Limitsetting Type (2005 revision of the International Classification of Sleep Disorders; American Academy of Sleep Medicine). In this paper we will use the less awkward term "bedtime noncompliance" to describe this set of behaviors. Although some of the studies we will mention include infants, we will focus primarily on preschool and school aged children. For an excellent review of the entire class of sleep problems in children, including parasomnias, fears, and nightmare disorders see Sadeh (2005).There is evidence that bedtime noncompliance is one of the most common childhood behavior problems. While many surveys of sleep problems in children lump sleep problems together, a few studies have examined prevalence rates of bedtime noncompliance. Estimates vary widely, but most studies suggest that 5-10% of school-aged children display significant bedtime noncompliance (e.g. Blader, Koplewics, Abikoff, & Foley, 1997, Mindell, 1993. Sleep problems as a class account for almost 10% of presenting concerns in child and adolescent outpatient mental health centers (Meisbov, Schroeder, & Wesson, 1993). There is no doubt that many other families experience these problems and do not seek professional help. Research on Effects of Sleep ProblemsThere is an increasing amount of clinical observation and research demonstrating that sleep problems, including bedtime noncompliance, can lead to insufficient sleep in children, which can, if chronic, lead to emotional, physical, behavioral, and cognitive problems (Dahl, 1996; Gais, Philal, Wagner, & Born, 2000;Kuhn, Mayfield & Kuhn, 1999;Lavigne, et al., 199...
