Adolescent Relationship Violence and Acculturation Among NYC Latinos
Extending Johnson’s Intimate Partner Violence Typology
Johnson's intimate partner violence (IPV) typology-categorizing IPV by both use and receipt of physical violence and controlling behaviors-effectively predicts IPV consequences among adults. His typology has not yet been applied to adolescents, an important population for early IPV intervention. Therefore, in analyzing IPV covariates among 493 female urban high school students, we used as key predictors both Johnson's original typology and, for e…

Objectives. We conducted 2 studies to determine the impact of text message immunization reminder–recalls in an urban, low-income population. Methods. In 1 study, text message immunization reminders were sent to a random sample of parents (n = 195) whose children aged 11 to 18 years needed either or both meningococcal (MCV4) and tetanus–diphtheria–acellular pertussis (Tdap) immunizations. We compared receipt of MCV4 or Tdap at 4, 12, and 24 weeks …
Changes in Tdap and MCV4 Vaccine Coverage Following Enactment of a Statewide Requirement of Tdap Vaccination for Entry Into Sixth Grade
Objectives. We evaluated changes in tetanus toxoid, reduced diptheria toxoid, acellular pertussis (Tdap), and tetravalen meningococcal (MCV4) vaccine coverage following enactment of a New York State mandate requiring Tdap before entering sixth grade. Methods. Using data from a hospital-based immunization registry, we measured Tdap and MCV4 coverage among youths aged 11 to 14 years in New York City at 3 time points: premandate, mandate year 1, and…

We commend Maher et al. for their novel use of text messaging to contact difficult-to-reach study participants. We agree that text messaging is a powerful tool to recruit study participants and reduce drop-out rates among persons participating in longitudinal assessments. These strategies rely on participants being able to open, read, and respond to text messages. In our focus groups we observed many parents having difficulties responding to inte…

We conducted focus groups and individual interviews in a diverse population of parents to qualitatively explore preferences and readiness for text message immunization reminders. We used content analysis to review and independently code transcripts. Text message reminders were well-accepted by parents; many thought they would be more effective than standard phone or mail reminders. Parents preferred text message reminders to be brief and personal…
Is Lack of Sexual Assertiveness among Adolescent and Young Adult Women a Cause for Concern
Many sexually active young women perceive that they do not have the right to communicate about or control aspects of their sexual behavior. Interventions to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy and coercive sexual behaviors should include strategies to evaluate and address these perceptions

The Effects of Mental Health Factors on Ambulatory Care Visits by Rural Teens
This study sought to determine the effects of mental health variables on rural adolescents' use of ambulatory health care services and whether these effects varied across common outpatient settings. Using a cross‐sectional survey design, 2,297 adolescents who attended public schools in grades 7 through 12 in one isolated rural Mississippi River Delta county were assessed via a standardized health behavior survey. This self‐report measure inquired…
Rural Adolescent Alcohol Use
Use and abuse of alcohol by rural adolescents is an important problem for those who care for youth and for the future of rural communities. Alcohol use is common and associated with many of the risk factors identified in previous urban‐sampled research. However, there is considerable rural heterogenety, and the specific characteristics of rural families and communities that may predispose certain adolescents to earlier use or problem drinking are…
