California’s Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program and birth outcomes
Introduction California’s Medicaid (Medi-Cal) sponsors Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP), a program with enhanced perinatal care for women (more education, nutritional supplements, and psychosocial counseling/support). Past evaluations of CPSP’s effectiveness in birth outcomes were limited to pilot programs and yielded mixed results.

Hmong American Young Adults' Reflections on Their Immigrant Parents
To better understand emerging adults' perceptions of family interactions and value transmission to the next generation, we examined Hmong American emerging adults' reflections on their parents' parenting. Participants discussed what parenting practices they would do differently and others they hoped to emulate with their future adolescent children. Thirty Hmong American emerging adults (18-25 years; M = 21.2 years; 50% female) participated in int…
Obstacles to parent–adolescent communication in Hmong American families
The findings provide a foundation for future qualitative and quantitative studies to promote Hmong American family communication, and encourage an ecological approach to promote parent-adolescent communication conducive to supporting adolescent mental health outcomes
‘Don't cross a man's feet’
Parent-adolescent communication about sexual health is one strategy to encourage healthy adolescent sexual behaviour. However, this literature has largely overlooked immigrant families. Hmong youth, identified as facing extreme challenges to parent-adolescent communication, are considered. Content analysis was used to examine parent-adolescent communication about sexual health for forty-four pregnant or parenting Hmong adolescent girls. The minor…

Demographic, Biological, Psychological, and Social Predictors of the Timing of First Intercourse
This study applied a biopsychosocial approach to examine the predictors of the initiation of sexual intercourse during adolescence. The sample included 157 boys and 268 girls, of whom 85.4% reported having had sexual intercourse by age 21 to 22. Participants were surveyed at 3 time points; once when they were 13 to 14 years old, again at ages 16 to 17 years, and again 6 years later. Proportional hazards regression was used to examine the relation…
The Association of Childhood Play and Adolescent-Parent Interactions with German Adolescent Leisure Participation
Macrosystem (nation and gender) and microsystem (childhood play and adolescentparent interactions) correlates of adolescent leisure activities (risky, social-romantic, and creative-introspective) were investigated. The respondents included adolescents, ages 15 through 18 years, from the former East Germany (n = 221) and West Germany (n = 443). The leisure activities were each significantly related to both macro and microsystem measures. Higher le…
Leaving the parental home
Results are presented on predictors of the timing of leaving the parental home, comparing samples of young adults from the former East and West Germany
The Changing Family Context of Early Adolescence
Adolescents today in the United States make the transition to adulthood in an environment that is very different from that experienced in previous decades. The family is one environmental component that has changed significantly. In this article, census data were used to describe the demographic characteristics of families of children ages 10 through 14 years in 1940, 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, and 1990. The focus was on characteristics that have es…
