Self-reported spanking history among adults in Canada
BACKGROUND: While the literature indicates that corporal punishment, and specifically spanking, is associated with several poor outcomes, little is known about the prevalence of spanking and attitudinal beliefs about spanking in Canada. The overall aims of the study were to (1) compute the prevalence of self-reported spanking history and attitudinal spanking beliefs; (2) determine if a spanking history varies according to gender, sexual identity,…
Education-Related Covid-19 Difficulties and Stressors during the Covid-19 Pandemic among a Community Sample of Older Adolescents and Young Adults in Canada
The COVID-19 pandemic created significant disruptions to the provision of education, including restrictions to in-person and remote learning. Little is known about how older adolescents and young adults experienced these disruptions. To address this gap, data were drawn from the Well-Being and Experiences study (the WE Study), a longitudinal community-based sample collected in Manitoba, Canada, from 2017–2021 (n = 494). Prevalent difficulties or …
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Education Outcomes among Adolescents
It is well established that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with detrimental health outcomes in adulthood. Less is known about the relationships between ACEs and education outcomes and among adolescents. The aim of this study was to examine the associations between ACEs and adolescents' self-reported education outcomes and provincial education assessments among adolescents in Manitoba, Canada. Data were gathered from 1002 adol…
Child Maltreatment Reporting Practices by a Person Most Knowledgeable for Children and Youth
Child maltreatment is a global public health and child rights crisis made worse by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While understanding the breadth of the child maltreatment crisis is foundational to informing prevention and response efforts, determining accurate estimates of child maltreatment remains challenging. Alternative informants (parents, caregivers, a Person Most Knowledgeable-PMK) are often tasked with reporting on children's maltreatmen…
An Examination of Parents’ Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) History and Reported Spanking of Their Child
The current evidence indicates that spanking is harmful to children's health and development and should never be used by parents or other caregivers. However, the critical factors that inform effective spanking prevention strategies are still not well understood. The objective of the current study was to determine if a parent's own adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) history was associated with increased likelihood of reporting their child being…
Protective Factors for Decreasing Nicotine, Alcohol, and Cannabis Use Among Adolescents with a History of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
Adolescents who have experienced adversity have an increased likelihood of using substances. This study examined if individual-, family-, school-, and community-level protective factors were associated with a decreased likelihood of substance use. Data from the Well-Being and Experiences Study (the WE Study) collected from 2017 to 2018 were used. The sample was adolescents aged 14 to 17 years ( N = 1002) from Manitoba, Canada. Statistical methods…
Adverse childhood experiences and other risk factors associated with adolescent and young adult vaping over time
The findings emphasize the need for early vaping prevention and identified several ACEs and other factors that were associated with adolescent and young adult vaping and course of vaping. These identified ACEs and risk factors can help inform programs, strategies, and potential groups to target for vaping interventions
Adolescent health outcomes
Experiencing both CM and PV substantially increases the odds of poor health outcomes among adolescents, and moderating relationships affect females and males differently. Continued research is needed to develop effective prevention strategies and to examine protective factors that may mitigate these adverse health outcomes, including potential sex differences
Associations between spanking beliefs and reported spanking among adolescents-parent/caregiver dyads in a Canadian sample
Adolescents' spanking beliefs are related to their parents' spanking beliefs, suggesting that they are transmitted across generations. Public education and law reform are needed to decrease the normalization and perceived necessity of spanking in child-rearing. Efforts should include improving the understanding that spanking is a form of violence against children. With only a few significant differences noted between sociodemographic variables an…
