  • The development of the Promoting First Relationships home visiting program and caregivers’ comments about their experiences across four RCT studies

    Open AccessMonica L Oxford, Teresa Abrahamson-Richards et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2025Cited by: 1References: 41

    Promoting First Relationships (PFR) is an evidence‐based home‐visiting program for caregivers and their children from birth to age 5 years. It focuses on caregiver–child interaction, attachment, and relationship quality using video feedback of unedited recordings to elicit reflection and provide positive feedback linked to knowledge development. This paper provides a brief history of PFR and reports on a qualitative study of 222 caregivers’ comme…

  • Sexual health variation among gang‐involved youth in Washington state

    Open AccessAsia S Bishop, Paula S Nurius et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Sexual and…2024References: 5

    Findings highlight the need for service approaches that are responsive to both the individual needs of gang-involved youth and the factors that shape their living environments. We discuss the implications for research and practice, including the potential utility of a harm reduction framework to promote sexual health and reduce disparities in the youth gang population

  • The Influences of Children’s and Maternal Childhood Adversity on Externalizing Problems in Early Adolescence

    Open AccessJungeun Olivia Lee, Yoewon Yoon et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Early Adolescence2023References: 6

    Childhood adversities have been linked to externalizing problems in adolescence. However, studies focusing on early adolescence are rare. Even less empirical attention has been given to the unique and joint influences of children's and maternal childhood adversity on children's externalizing behavior, particularly with a keen focus on the nature of adversities. This study examined the influences of children's and maternal childhood adversities on…

  • What works for whom? Mother's psychological distress as a moderator of the effectiveness of a home visiting intervention

    Open AccessMonica L Oxford, Jonika B Hash et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2023References: 70

    Attachment‐based home visiting programs that serve new mothers experiencing psychological distress may advance health equity by helping families systemically exposed to adversity. This study examined whether one such program (Promoting First Relationships/PFR) had particularly beneficial effects on maternal and child relationship outcomes for mothers reporting the greatest psychological distress. A randomized controlled trial of the PFR program i…

  • The mediating role of anxiety/depression symptoms between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and somatic symptoms in adolescents

    Open AccessRachel Y Lee, Monica L Oxford et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2022

    INTRODUCTION: This study examines the relationships among recent adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), somatic symptoms, and anxiety/depression symptoms during adolescence and whether anxiety/depression symptoms mediate the relationship between ACEs and somatic symptoms. METHODS: Longitudinal prospective data from the Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect study of 1354 children and their primary caregivers in the United States was used …

  • Randomized trial of promoting first relationships for new mothers who received community mental health services in pregnancy

    Open AccessMonica L Oxford, Jonika B Hash et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2021Cited by: 2References: 2

    The effectiveness of Promoting First Relationships (PFR), a 10-week home visiting program with video feedback, was tested in a randomized controlled trial involving 252 mothers and their 8- to 12-week-old infants. Mothers were eligible if they initiated treatment after mental health screening (depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD]) at a community or public health primary care center in pregnancy. At baseline, 51% had mild to s…

  • Parental Childhood Adversity, Depressive Symptoms, and Parenting Quality

    Open AccessSusan Spieker, Monica L Oxford et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2018Cited by: 2References: 55

    Parents who are involved with child welfare services (CWSI) often have a history of childhood adversity and depressive symptoms. Both affect parenting quality, which in turn influences child adaptive functioning. We tested a model of the relations between parental depression and child regulatory outcomes first proposed by K. Lyons‐Ruth, R. Wolfe, A. Lyubchik, and R. Steingard (2002). We hypothesized that both parental depression and parenting qua…

  • Predicting Markers of Adulthood among Adolescent Mothers

    Monica L Oxford, Jo Lee et al.ARTICLESocial Work Research2010Cited by: 4References: 6

    This prospective longitudinal study examines the antecedents of adolescent mothers' transition into adulthood and their attainment of multiple adult statuses in their early 30s in a nonclinical sample. The distribution, timing, and impact of factors in adolescence (education, employment, marriage, economic status, criminal involvement, and others) are shown relative to their impact on the transition into adulthood and attainment of typical marker…

  • Trajectories of social withdrawal from grades 1 to 6

    Cathryn Booth-Laforce, Cathryn Booth‐laforce et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2008Cited by: 33References: 8

    From 1,092 children in the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development, the authors identified 3 trajectory patterns of social withdrawal from teacher reports in Grades 1-6: a normative consistently low group (86%), a decreasing group (5%) with initially high withdrawal that decreased, and an increasing group (9%) with initially low withdrawal that increased. Prediction models supported the role of early dysregulated temperament, insens…

  • Life Course Heterogeneity in the Transition from Adolescence to Adulthood Among Adolescent Mothers

    Open AccessMonica L Oxford, Lewayne D Gilchrist et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2005Cited by: 13References: 11

    Longitudinal data were used to examine pathways taken by 227 adolescent mothers during the transition from adolescence into adulthood. Latent profile analysis identified three sub‐groups of adolescent mothers from 6 months to 6 years postpartum: a problem‐prone profile (15%), a psychologically vulnerable profile (42%), and a normative profile (43%). Group membership was related to long‐term adult outcomes (adult status markers, health‐risk and de…

  • The influence of psychosocial difficulties on women's attrition in an HIV/STD prevention program

    Blair Beadnell, Shirley Baker et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2003

    We examined attrition from an HIV/STD group counselling intervention in two ways: quantitative analyses of the entire sample (n=287) and structured interviews of a subset of 30 women with low attendance. In the interviews, the most common reasons for low attendance were time conflicts and enrolling primarily to obtain the monetary incentives given for completing research questionnaires. Latent class statistical analysis of the full sample identif…

  • Ethnic Identity among Monoracial and Multiracial Early Adolescents

    Open AccessMichael S Spencer, Larry D Icard et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Early Adolescence2000Cited by: 52References: 14

    A measure of ethnic identity, the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM), was examined in this study with a sample of 2,184 early adolescents who self-identified with a single race or ethnicity (monoracial, n = 1,812) or with two or more racial or ethnic groups (multiracial, n = 372). Principal components and multigroup confirmatory factor analysis were used to explore and confirm the factor structure of the MEIM items. Two factors were identi…
