Examination of risky truancy behaviors and gender differences among elementary school children
There has been a dramatic increase in the rate of truancy cases throughout the United States, and despite truancy reduction efforts, truancy rates remained constant. Truancy is frequently associated with youth's high-risk behaviors and negative academic and life outcomes. Given the negative impact of truancy, conducting research on school attendance is critical to the success of youth over the life course. The current study examined a sample of 2…
Understanding African American youth and adult perspectives on sex education in rural North Carolina
African American youth in the US rural South are at elevated risk for poor sexual health outcomes, including sexually transmitted infections and teen pregnancy. Historically, the southeastern USA has lagged behind in providing comprehensive sexuality-based education in secondary school, which may contribute to poor reproductive and sexual health outcomes. This study aims to understand the perspectives of African American youth and adults on compr…
Assessing Child Welfare Agency Practices and Attitudes that Affect Father Engagement
The importance of fathers' involvement in their children's lives is irrefutable. Supportive, warm, and positive involvement of fathers leads to children being well-adjusted. Indeed, involved fathers positively influence their children's cognitive ability, social behavior, psychological well-being, and educational achievement. For children in foster care, when fathers are involved they have significantly shorter stays in foster care than those who…
Parent–youth communication to reduce at-risk sexual behavior
There are nearly 110 million cases of sexually transmitted infections (STI) in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that annually there are more than 19.7 million new STI cases. Of those, more than half are accounted for by youth aged 15 to 24 years. Although some STIs are not considered to be life threatening, they can lead to severe health problems, risk of HIV infection or infertility if they are not prop…
Cultural Receptivity among Foster Parents
Foster parents' ability to support a minority youth's cultural needs is critically important to the appropriate development of the youth's cultural identity and avoidance of negative reactions to real or perceived rejection or dismissal of their cultural values or traditions. This study assessed the ability of a set of practice-based measures to identify indicators of positive transcultural parenting. It involved a cross-sectional, nonprobability…
Examining maternal and paternal involvement as promotive factors of competence in African American children in informal kinship care
Fathers' Perspectives on Supports and Barriers That Affect Their Fatherhood Role
This qualitative study explored resident and nonresident fathers' perspectives about factors that facilitated and inhibited their ability to play a positive and active role in their children's lives. A total of 30 fathers were recruited from a support/mentoring group and from the general population to complete a semi-structured, audio-taped interview. A content analysis revealed that both groups of fathers were committed to maintaining a relation…
The influence of father involvement on child welfare permanency outcomes
An Appraisal of Fathers' Perspectives on Fatherhood and Barriers to Their Child Welfare Involvement
The present study provides insight into the extent and rationale of fathers' involvement with their children and the child welfare system. This qualitative study explored 12 child welfare–involved fathers' perceptions of fatherhood and factors that facilitate and inhibit case planning involvement. The findings indicate that most fathers strongly desired to stay involved with their children but felt they needed to overcome social workers' negativi…
Toward a Theory of Cultural Competence in Transcultural Parenting
There is a dire need to place the disproportionate number of minority foster children with successful foster families. Because there are more minority foster children than minority foster parents, we suggest placing children with qualified families despite differences in racial, ethnic, or cultural backgrounds. We propose a conceptual model for transcultural parenting that accounts for cultural differences and emphasizes the importance of equippi…

Kinship foster parents' perceptions of factors that promote or inhibit successful fostering
A Psychometric Evaluation of the Cultural Receptivity in Fostering Scale
Objective: The psychometric properties of a new measure of foster parents’ openness toward participating in activities that promote children’s cultural development are evaluated. The measure is titled the Cultural Receptivity in Fostering Scale (CRFS). Method: Data from 304 foster mothers who completed the CRFS and a battery of measures on psychosocial functioning are analyzed. Results: The CRFS demonstrates excellent internal consistency reliabi…
Foster Parents' Reasons for Fostering and Foster Family Utilization
Better utilization of foster families might be linked to parents' reasons for fostering. This study used data from the National Survey of Current and Former Foster Parents to examine relationships between reasons for fostering and types of services and length of service foster parents provide. Top reasons for fostering were child-centered. The least endorsed reasons were self-oriented. Those who fostered to help children with special problems wer…
