Latent Classes of Adverse and Positive Childhood Experiences and Associations With Depression Among Racially/Ethnically Minoritized Adolescents
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are risk factors for adolescent depression, and positive childhood experiences (PCEs) are protective factors. It remains unclear how ACEs and PCEs cluster and predict depression in racially/ethnically minoritized adolescents. Our study aims to examine the subgroups of ACEs and PCEs in the family, school and neighbourhood contexts and their effects on the depression of racially/ethnically minoritized adolescent…

Although the relations between coparenting and adolescent outcomes have been investigated, it remains unclear whether the specific patterns of maternal and paternal coparenting are associated with adolescent behavioral outcomes. METHODS: The present study includs a longitudinal cohort of 1143 triads of unmarried parents and their adolescents…
Bidirectional relationships between parenting stress and child behavior problems in multi‐stressed , single‐mother families: A cross‐lagged panel model
Investigations on the bidirectional relationships between parenting stress and child behavior problems are important to inform intervention strategies; however, prior research has provided inconsistent findings. Using a national sample of multi‐stressed single‐mother families from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study, the present study examined the bidirectional relationships between maternal parenting stress and children's behavioral p…
Many people have no idea”: A qualitative analysis of healthcare barriers among Yazidi refugees in the Midwestern United States

Long-term Neighborhood Effects on Adolescent Outcomes: Mediated through Adverse Childhood Experiences and Parenting Stress
Supportive Coparenting, Parenting Stress, Harsh Parenting, and Child Behavior Problems in Nonmarital Families
Supportive coparenting is an identified protective factor for child development and behavioral outcomes. What is less known is how supportive coparenting dynamically links with other aspects of parenting and parent well‐being, particularly in multi‐stressed nonmarital families. This study used data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study, analyzed within a structural equation model, to explore how mothers’ experience of maternal depre…
Efficacy of Co-Parenting for Successful Kids: A Longitudinal Pilot Investigation
With a sample of 155 divorcing parents, this study examined the efficacy of a co-parenting program titled Co-Parenting for Successful Kids (CPSK). A prospective longitudinal cohort study was used to assess parental outcomes at multiple time points (i.e., pre-test, post-test, and three-month follow-up). Using validated scales, we measured parenting stress, parenting self-efficacy, and parental anger over time. The results indicated that the partic…
The effects of income transfers on poverty reduction in people with disabilities in South Korea
Using a nationally representative sample dataset from the 2016 Korean Welfare Panel Study, we examined the anti‐poverty effects of income transfers in people with disabilities. Our findings indicate that in households with a person with a disability, income transfers decreased by 55.9% and 84.8% of the pre‐transfer poverty rate and poverty gap, respectively. Before income transfers, households with a person with a disability were 1.94 times more …
Longitudinal relationships between unmarried fathers' involvement and their children's behavior problems: Using latent growth modeling
Neighborhood Characteristics, Maternal Parenting, and Health and Development of Children from Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Families
The present study examined the direct and indirect effects of neighborhood conditions on the health and development of children from socioeconomically disadvantaged families. Two waves of data were analyzed from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study and its subsample of 3,656 mothers and their young children at ages 3 and 5. The results show that social cohesion was directly and indirectly associated with children's behavioral problems a…

Using a subsample of the Fragile Families and Child Well-being data set of 1430 low-income families with young children, the present study examines the direct and indirect effects of child care subsidies on children’s health and developmental outcomes. The current investigation focuses on the indirect mediating effects of child care subsidies on child development as they are transmitted through mothers’ employment, income, depression, and parenti…
Health literacy in an underserved immigrant population: New implications toward achieving health equity
Nonresident Fathers' Financial Support, Informal Instrumental Support, Mothers' Parenting, and Child Development in Single-Mother Families With Low Income
This study examines the relationships among nonresident fathers' financial support, informal instrumental support, mothers' parenting and parenting stress, and their children's behavioral and cognitive development in single-mother families with low income. Informed by stress-coping and social support models, this study estimates the mediating effects of nonresident fathers' financial support on children's outcomes transmitted through mothers' par…
Three measures of non‐resident fathers' involvement, maternal parenting and child development in low‐income single‐mother families
This study examined the relationships among non‐resident fathers' involvement, mothers' parenting and parenting stress, and children's behavioural and cognitive development in low‐income single‐mother families. Based on the theoretical concepts of father involvement in terms of accessibility, responsibility and interaction, this study operationalizes fathers' involvement with three different measures: (i) fathers' frequency of contact with their …

Findings revealed that education and English proficiency were the most influential predictors of health literac…
Fathers' involvement and child behavior problems in poor African American single-mother families
Nonresident Fathers’ Parenting, Family Processes, and Children’s Development in Urban, Poor, Single-Mother Families
With dramatic growth in nonrmarital births, an increasing number of children are growing up in single-mother families. This study examines the relationships among nonresident fathers' parenting and children's behavioral and cognitive development in low-income, single-mother families. It also considers the personal characteristics of the children's single mothers as well as family processes and economic circumstances. Analyses use the first three …
Parenting Efficacy and the Early School Adjustment of Poor and Near-Poor Black Children
This short-term longitudinal study investigates whether maternal educational attainment, maternal employment status, and family income affect African American children's behavioral and cognitive functioning over time through their impacts on mothers' psychological functioning and parenting efficacy in a sample of 100 poor and near-poor single Black mothers and their 3- and 4-year-old focal children. Results indicate that education, working status…
Direct and Indirect Effects of Interparental Relationship Quality on Child Behavior Problems in Low-Income, Black, Single-Mother Families
Evidence of direct and indirect effects of interparental relationship quality and parental contexts on child behavior problems is well established. However, limited literature exists about these associations in low-income, Black families in which the parents are not married. Informed by the risk and resilience theoretical perspective, this study hypothesized that disharmonious interparental relations would predict greater preschool child behavior…
The effectiveness of poverty reduction and the target efficiency of social security transfers in South Korea, 1999–2003
