Implementing a professional youth mentoring program during times of crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted traditional youth mentoring practices as social distancing limited in-person interactions. This study analyzes how Friends of the Children (FOTC), a professional mentoring program, was able to maintain engagement with mentees during the pandemic. Using a sample of 112 youth (58% Black/African American) with an average age of 12.5, this study investigated how FOTC continued to support mentees during this period. The…
The Untested Component
This scoping review documents the content and outcomes of parental engagement components within school-based social-emotional learning (SEL) programs for pre-K through 12th grade. Of 83 programs reviewed, 45 included parental engagement components and were analyzed for format, rationale, and evidence. Findings showed that although the need for parental engagement is widely recognized, implementation and effectiveness data remain limited. Common f…
Treatment Effect Moderation with Small Subgroups
Subgroup analysis is an important tool for studying treatment effect moderation. However, when a subgroup has a relatively small proportion (referred to as "focal subgroup"), standard subgroup analysis could encounter practical difficulties (e.g., low estimation precision). In this study, we propose an incremental subgroup analysis approach, which considers how the treatment effect would change as the proportion of focal subgroup gradually increa…
A Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing the Effectiveness of Emotion-Focused and Behavioral Parent Training in Families of School-aged Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Friends in Our Lives
Mentoring programs are popular interventions to support holistic development for young people. One specific model of mentoring that has emerged over the past few decades in the United States is professional mentoring. Research has illustrated that this model of mentoring may be particularly helpful for young people who could benefit from extra support in their lives that a volunteer mentoring program does not have the capacity to provide. Despite…
The Importance of Positive Social Support During Reentry From Prison
Social support appears to be important in improving outcomes for incarcerated individuals during the reentry process not only in terms of general wellbeing but also in gaining employment and avoiding recidivism. Mentoring programs have become increasingly popular interventions that are intended to provide such support during reentry. However, research on mentoring programs is limited and tends to focus solely on the programs’ impact on recidivism…
Assessment of Feasibility and Acceptability of the Pathways for Parents After Incarceration Program
Most incarcerated fathers have connections to their families, and the quality of their family relationships is important not only to their reentry success but also to shaping positive child and family outcomes. However, there is a lack of rigorous evidence about interventions designed to strengthen parent-child and other family relationships among formerly incarcerated parents. The purpose of this study was to develop and assess for feasibility a…

Parent-Child Contact during Incarceration
Despite promising evidence that family contact during incarceration may reduce recidivism, less is understood about its role in postrelease parental involvement with children. Drawing on data from the randomized controlled trial of the Parent Child Study, this article examines in-prison parent-child contact in relation to postrelease parent-caregiver relationships, residence, and nonresidential contact. Predictors of contact include measures of v…
Witnessing Parental Arrest As a Predictor of Child Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms During and After Parental Incarceration
A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Parent Management Training Program for Incarcerated Parents
The majority of incarcerated adults are parents. While in prison, most parents maintain at least some contact with their families. A positive connection with family during imprisonment is hypothesized to improve long-term success after release. One way in which departments of corrections attempt to facilitate positive connections with family is through prison-based parenting programs. One such program, developed in collaboration with the Oregon D…
The context and development of the early relational health screen
Early relational experiences are key drivers for developing social emotional capacities, educational achievement, mental health, physical health, and overall wellbeing. The child health sectors are committed to promotion, prevention, and early intervention that optimize children's health and development, often employing evidence‐based screening as foundational practices. Despite a variety of validated parent‐infant observational assessment tools,…
Early relational health
Relational experiences during infancy and early childhood are key drivers for building health, social emotional development, and learning capacities, each vital for wellbeing. The U.S. child health sectors share a commitment to universal health promotion, prevention and early intervention, and a growing enthusiasm for the research‐affirmed primacy of caregiver‐child interactions during the critical first 1000 days of life. Given our nation's grow…

Predicting Homelessness among Emerging Adults Aging Out of Foster Care
This study examines risk and protective factors associated with experiencing homelessness in the year after “aging out” of foster care. Using a state‐level integrated administrative database, we identified 1,202 emerging adults in Washington State who exited foster care between July 2010 and June 2012. Initial bivariate analyses were conducted to assess the association between candidate predictive factors and an indicator of homelessness in a 12‐…
The Moderating Effect of Living with a Child Before Incarceration on Postrelease Outcomes Related to a Prison-Based Parent Management Training Program
With the rapid growth in incarceration in the United States over the past few decades came dramatic growth in the number of the incarcerated parents with at least one minor child. Parental incarceration places extra stresses and strains on families and children. Almost all of those incarcerated will eventually be released. However, the majority of those released from prison will be rearrested within a year. Finding interventions that can decrease…
Variations in the Life Histories of Incarcerated Parents by Race and Ethnicity
Incarcerated parents have complex life histories that often remain unresolved during incarceration, can continue to create barriers to prosocial success on release, and present similar intergenerational challenges for their children. This study examines the life histories of incarcerated fathers and mothers from the Pacific Northwest and how their experiences vary based on race and ethnicity. Five areas examined were exposure to trauma, child wel…

Language Brokering Contexts and Behavioral and Emotional Adjustment Among Latino Parents and Adolescents
This study examined behavioral and emotional adjustment in family contexts in which there was high versus low demand for adolescents to serve as language brokers in a sample of 73 recently immigrated Latino families with middle-school-aged adolescents. Language brokering was conceptualized as a family process rather than merely an individual phenomenon. Multiple agents were used to assess language brokering and parent and youth adjustment. Result…
Promoting Academic Success Among Latino Youths
This article describes results from the Oregon Latino Youth Survey, which was designed to identify factors that promote or hinder academic success for Latino middle school and high school youngsters. The study samples included a total of 564 Latino and non-Latino students and parents. Analyses showed that Latino students reported a high frequency of discriminatory experiences and institutional barriers at school, and Latino students and their par…
Description and Immediate Impacts of a Preventive Intervention for Conduct Problems
A population‐based randomized intervention trial for the prevention of conduct problems (i.e., oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder) is described. The LIFT (Linking the Interests of Families and Teachers) intervention was designed for all first‐ and fifth‐grade elementary school boys and girls and their families living in at‐risk neighborhoods characterized by high rates of juvenile delinquency. The 10‐week intervention strategy was…
Friendships and Violent Behavior During Adolescence
This study investigated the extent to which interpersonal processes within male friendships are associated with violent behavior patterns during adolescence. At ages 13‐14, 15‐16, and 17‐18, we observed the participants (206 boys) in our laboratory discussing problem solving situations with a close friend. Although the boys typically brought in different friends for each of the three assessments, we found considerable continuity in the boys' beha…

The world of parents and peers
The relation among child antisocial behavior, child coercive exchanges with parents and peers, and the social adaptation of middle‐childhood‐aged boys and girls was investigated. The 374 children were observed during laboratory tasks with their parents and during recess with peers. A covariance model was tested that hypothesized that coercive exchanges with parents and peers would contribute uniquely to a multiple‐agent assessment of child antiso…
Mediators of the effect of parental incarceration on adolescent externalizing behaviors
Over the past two decades, the number of children with parents in prison has increased substantially. Using structural equation modeling with prospective longitudinal data gathered as part of the ongoing Linking the Interests of Families and Teachers (LIFT) trial, the study tests a theoretical model which examines the direct and indirect relationships of four specific domains (parental incarceration, social advantage, parent mental and physical h…

Diurnal cortisol rhythms among Latino immigrants in Oregon, USA
One of the most commonly used stress biomarkers is cortisol, a glucocorticoid hormone released by the adrenal glands that is central to the physiological stress response. Free cortisol can be measured in saliva and has been the biomarker of choice in stress studies measuring the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Chronic psychosocial stress can lead to dysregulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function and results in …

Should values clarification be a goal of death education
Values clarification is often cited as a goal of death education. Related research has shown this process to be an effective educational methodology. Nonetheless, some distinct philosophical and practical problems have been associated with the values clarification process. This manuscript identifies some of these problems and outlines guidelines for the effective use of value clarification in the death education curriculum
Predicting Smoking Status by Symptoms of Depression for U.S. Adolescents
This study examined the predictive relationships between adolescents' smoking and symptoms of depression. A national sample of 6,900 adolescents, ages 14 to 18 years, were selected for analysis. Variables of interest included measures for smoking status and symptoms of depression. Odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio from logistic regression analyses indicated that more of the 885 smokers than of the 6,015 nonsmokers reported feelings of unhappines…

Coercive family processes
Patterson hypothesized that aggressive behavior develops in families when parents use coercion as the primary mode for controlling their children. The model has been tested with boys and older children. In this paper, through confirmatory factor analysis, we examine how well the coercion model generalizes to 5-year-old children (boys and girls). Our results suggest that the model fits the data similarly for boys and girls. Few sex differences in …
