Cognitive ability and teen smoking.

We use data on 11-15-year-old boys in the West Bank to study the empirical link between cognitive ability and health behavior, specifically (teen) smoking. Adjusting for both age in months and grade level allows us to effectively shut down any simultaneous effect of maturation and schooling on cognitive ability and smoking. We find that those at the lower end of the cognitive ability distribution are more than twice as likely to smoke than those at the upper end (approximately 25 versus 10%) also after adjusting for parental background and peer composition in a generalized propensity score approach. Further, we find that the cognitive ability-smoking gradient is fairly flat at the lower end of the cognitive ability distribution and steep at the upper end.

“We Were Not at School Today”: First-Person Pronouns and Discursive Construction of Identities by Emerging Middle-Class Chinese Parents

Abstract In the process of China’s dynamic social changes over the past decades, the young-parent identity construction of an emerging middle class and the resulting changes of social-cultural values in this context have attracted the attention of academic research in recent years. With the focus on the discursive construction of parent identity, this study examines the utilization of first-person pronouns in three different interactional contexts, namely, parent-teacher interaction, parent-parent interaction, and parent-child interaction. The study further explores the patterns of alignment between the parents and their children, parents and teachers of their children, and peer parents during the process of identity construction, followed by a discussion of the implication that young, emerging middle-class Chinese parents fundamentally shape themselves as “concerned” and “involved” parents and the change of values between collectivity and agency. The study not only demonstrates the dynamic and pluralistic nature of parent identity but also deepens our understanding of the indexical roles of first-person pronouns in the discursive construction of emerging middle-class Chinese parent identity and its relationship with the recent social-cultural changes in the Chinese context.

Needs of Foster Care Peer Support Volunteers

Demands associated with foster parenting are substantial and support is crucial. Peer support is a form of support where foster parents connect formally with other foster parents with experience who can provide knowledge, emotional and practical help. The purpose of the present study was to identify what the needs are of foster parents in that peer support role from the views of peer support volunteers themselves. Interviews were conducted with 14 foster parent peer mentors staffing a telephone consultation service for foster parents across a large geographic area. Each was asked: what do you need to be a good peer support volunteer? Results were analyzed using group concept mapping and five concepts emerged, including: Kindness, Self-care, Good People Skills, Fostering Experience, and Informed and Knowledgeable. Results are compared and contrasted with peer support literature.

“You Are Not Alone”: Advice Giving for Parents of Children Living with Complex Chronic Conditions

ABSTRACT Parental advice giving serves as an important form of informational support for parents of children living with complex chronic conditions (CCCs). These messages can provide backchannel insights into social challenges, best practices, and may offer different forms of experiential wisdom garnered from their own parental caregiving experiences. Contributing to the naturalistic, health-context investigations of advice messages, we interviewed 35 parents who discussed their experiences with parenting their medically complex child. Part of the broader interview protocol asked parents about advice they would offer to other parents like them. We conducted a thematic analysis of parents’ responses to these questions to understand advice content, form of advice giving messages, challenges experienced by parents, and suggested best practices for managing a child’s CCC. We present our findings and discuss implications on educating health care professionals about how to cultivate advice networks and the need for more parent peer mentoring programs.

Parent-to-Parent Advice on Considering Spinal Fusion in Children with Neuromuscular Scoliosis

To convey advice from families whose children recently underwent spinal fusion to families whose children are under consideration for initial spinal fusion for neuromuscular scoliosis and to providers who counsel families on this decision. We interviewed 18 families of children who underwent spinal fusion between August 2017 and January 2019 at a freestanding children's hospital. We conducted phone interviews a median of 65 (IQR 51-77) days after surgery. We audio recorded, transcribed, and coded (line-by-line) interviews using grounded theory by 2 independent reviewers, and discussed among investigators to induce themes associated with surgical decision making and preparation. Six themes emerged about decision making and preparation for spinal fusion: (1) simplify risks and benefits; it is easy to get lost in the details; (2) families prolonging the decision whether or not to pursue spinal fusion surgery may not benefit the child; (3) anticipate anxiety and fear when making a decision about spinal fusion; (4) realize that your child might experience a large amount of pain; (5) anticipate a long recovery and healing process after spinal fusion; and (6) be engaged and advocate for your child throughout the perioperative spinal fusion process. Parents of children who had recently undergone spinal fusion had strong perceptions about what information to convey to families considering surgery, which may improve communication between future parents and physicians. Further investigation is needed to assess how best to incorporate the wisdom and experiences of parent peers into shared decision making and preparation for spinal fusion in children with neuromuscular scoliosis.

AGGRESSION AMONGST STUDENTS IN FOUNDATION STAGE EDUCATION IN TEACHERS’ AND PARENTS’ OPINION – PROBLEM OR SIGN OF THE TIMES?

Parent Partners: Evaluation of a Novel Peer-Support Intervention for the Caregivers of Children Hospitalized for Behavioral Health Conditions

ObjectiveNearly 10% of all hospitalized children have a primary behavioral health diagnosis, but the effectiveness of treatment can be limited by caregivers’ challenges navigating the behavioral health system. In this study, we assessed a novel peer-support intervention (“parent partners”) designed for the caregivers of children admitted to an inpatient psychiatric unit. MethodsWe used a mixed-methods approach including 1) document review and interviews to assess implementation and 2) a difference-in-differences analysis using claims for Medicaid-enrolled children admitted to the intervention inpatient psychiatric unit and matched comparison children admitted to other inpatient psychiatric units to assess the impacts on health care use after discharge. ResultsNinety-six percent of caregivers who were offered the intervention engaged with a parent partner. The primary challenges to implementation were accommodating the needs of parent partners to address behavioral health crises among their own children and initial limited engagement from behavioral health clinicians. The intervention leaders reported success in addressing these through adjustments to staffing policies, training parent partners in engagement with clinicians, and incorporating parent partners into team rounds. We did not find a statistically significant difference in follow-up outpatient behavioral health visits (adjusted treatment to comparison difference +3% [90% CI = −2%, +9%]), readmissions (+5% [−33%, +43%]), or behavioral health ED visits (−15% [−44%, +14%]). ConclusionsThis novel intervention was implemented successfully, and although our study did not find statistically significant impacts on health care use after discharge, the findings for ED visits are suggestive of benefits. Parent peer support in inpatient settings warrants additional investigation.

Drunken driving and riding with a drunken driver: adolescent types at higher risk

The leading cause of death of adolescents in developed countries is injury. Alcohol is a major contributor to adolescent injury. Most of the injury deaths in youth are caused by traffic crashes. Driving under the influence (DUI) and riding with a driver who is under the influence (RUI) of alcohol increase the risk of road crash. The focus of this study is how adolescents’ risk of DUI and RUI differ in relation to their experience of parental control and peer pressure to substance use, other risky behaviours and leisure time activities. The analyses are based on data from the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs collected from 15- to 16-year-old Finnish adolescents in 2015 (n = 4049, response rate 88.7%). The study shows that problems tend to entangle in some adolescent groups in which DUI and RUI are also more common. Adolescents with higher probability of using various substances, of starting alcohol use at young age, of experiencing weak parental control, and high peer pressure are at higher risk of DUI and RUI. The results indicate that professionals and authorities handling underage DUI and RUI ought to consider adolescents’ situation as a whole.

Health Care Transition for Adolescent and Young Adults with Intellectual Disability: Views from the Parents

PurposeThis study explored the health care transition (HCT) experiences of parents of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with intellectual disability (ID), 18–33 years of age, including barriers and facilitators to the AYA's transition to adulthood within and between the medical, educational, community, and vocational systems. Design and methodsA qualitative descriptive design with semi-structured individual interviews with 16 parent participants was used. Purposive sampling of parents was utilized with variation on race/ethnicity and AYA age, stage in transition, and condition. This study was conducted through a major medical center in the southeast United States. Content analysis was utilized. ResultsThree overarching themes represented the factors and essence of supporting AYAs with ID transition to adulthood. Inefficient and siloed systems illuminated barriers families are commonly experiencing within and between the medical, educational, community, and vocational systems. ‘Left out here floundering’ in adulthood, described the continued inadequacy of resources within each of these systems and parent's having to find available resources themselves. Hope despite uncertainty, included the perceived costs and benefits of their AYA's disability and the value of parent peer support in providing key knowledge of resources, strategies, and perspectives. ConclusionsOur findings illuminate the need for improved infrastructure to provide effective HCT and partnerships to help integrate HCT support within other life course systems. Results support the rationale for non-categorical HCT-focused approach. Practice implicationsA parent peer coach-facilitated intervention offers promise for bridging the gap between systems and meeting family needs.

'I don't feel like I'm in this on my own': Peer support for mothers of children with intellectual disability and challenging behaviour.

This article reports on the peer support experiences of mothers with a son or daughter with intellectual disability and challenging behaviour. Engagement in parent peer support programs can improve family quality of life and may have multifaceted benefits at the interpersonal, intra-individual self-change and sociopolitical levels. Thirteen mothers were interviewed about their experiences of participating in a parent peer support program. Thematic analysis focused on the process elements of the program that contributed to its effectiveness in providing support to parents. There were three process-related themes: the role of a paid coordinator, diversity of engagement strategies and matching of peer support partners. Mothers appreciated the opportunities provided to engage in a range of strategies tailored to individual preferences, time and capacity constraints, supported by the paid coordinator. One-to-one peer support proved difficult to sustain given the challenges mothers faced in their day-to-day lives.

Depressive Symptoms in Emerging Adults with Early Left-Behind Experiences in Rural China

The current study aimed to compare depressive symptoms in emerging adults with early left-behind experiences (LB-A) and their counterparts (non-LB-A) in China. Of importance, guided by a risk and resilience ecological framework, we examined the potential interactive roles of peer support, parent support, and personal characteristics (i.e., grit) on depressive symptoms. A total of 458 LB-A and 1,656 non-LB-A participants were involved in the study. The findings showed that the LB-A group perceived higher levels of depressive symptoms than the non-LB-A group. Moreover, in the context of higher levels of peer support, grit was found to buffer depressive symptoms for the LB-A group.

Meta-analysis of the mental health status of left-behind children in China.

The aims of this study were to systematically evaluate and comparatively analyse the mental health status of left-behind children (LBC) in China and to provide a scientific basis for mental intervention and healthy education for LBC. Six electronic databases were searched for studies (published from 1 January 2010 to 5 March 2018) of the mental health of LBC using the Mental Health Test scale. We only selected original articles that either reported the incidence of serious mental health status or the means and standard deviations of each factor score of the scale. The pooled rates and weighted mean difference were calculated. The results indicated that the incidence of serious mental health status of LBC is nearly 2.7 times higher than that of non-LBC. The scores for most of the factors analysed by the Mental Health Test of LBC were higher than those of non-LBC. In addition, the mental health status of left-behind girls is worse than that of left-behind boys. Except for impulsive tendency, there was no significant difference in the mental health status of LBC in primary and junior high schools. In terms of the different types of guardianship, the mental health status of LBC under a grandparent's guardianship and parental peer' guardianship is more serious than that of LBC under a single-parent guardianship. The mental health status of LBC is poor, particularly for left-behind girls. The primary mental problems faced by LBC are learning anxiety, social anxiety and physical symptoms. It is necessary to develop more targeted measures to prevent and manage LBC.

The Mediating Effect of Social Controls on Marijuana Use Among Adolescent Bullies, Victims, and Bully-Victims: A Comparison of Various Approaches to Mediation

This study examines the impact of social control measures (e.g. parental attachment and prosocial peer attachment) on marijuana use among adolescents who were pure bullies, pure victims, and bully-victims. Data from the Health Behavior in School-Aged Children survey was utilized and consisted of a nationwide cross-section of 12,642 adolescents. Results revealed that adolescents who were pure bullies and bully-victims were more likely to use marijuana. Additionally, parental and peer attachments were significant in decreasing the likelihood of marijuana use for two of the bullying statuses (pure bullies and bully-victims). Further, the social control measures partially mediated the relationship between two of the bullying statuses and marijuana use despite having no significant relation of bullying victimization to marijuana use. Considering that parental and peer attachments had significant and direct effects on adolescent marijuana use in the predicted (inverse) direction, prevention programs should focus on building and strengthening these relationships as a means of reducing deviant behaviors such as marijuana use among adolescents.
