From Congress to disadvantaged communities
Millions of residents in high-income countries lack access to safely managed drinking water and wastewater services at home. Financing improvements to water-related infrastructure access is primarily dependent upon utility revenue or assistance from government agencies and non-governmental organizations. In the United States (US), the State Revolving Fund (SRF) is the single largest government program for communities to obtain funding to improve …
Parenting and the development of impulse control in youth with type 1 diabetes
Parents are important for the development and maintenance of regulatory control. The current longitudinal study examined associations between parental coercion and autonomy support and impulse control in 117 youth (ages 8-16; M age = 12.87, SD=2.53; 44% male) with Type 1 diabetes and explored whether youth negative affect mediated these associations. Parental coercion (but not autonomy support) was concurrently associated with lower impulse contr…
From Nails to Rails
Theoretical museology is the study of museums, including explorations of their history, role in society, and the activities they engage in for the benefit of the communities that they serve which include curating, public programming, education and preservation.This paper will examine the theoretical foundations and a practical application of museology at the Steelworks Center of the West in Pueblo, Colorado (USA). The aim is to stimulate critical…
Frequency of communication about adolescents’ strengths and weaknesses and the parent–adolescent relationship
Despite prior research indicating that parents and adolescents perceive conversations about the adolescent’s strengths and weaknesses to be important, information about these conversations and how they are related to other facets of the parent-adolescent relationship is limited. In a sample of 171 parent-adolescent dyads (adolescents were 14-17 years old), we conducted an initial exploratory study on the frequencies of parent-adolescent discussio…
Feasibility and Acceptability of a Novel Primary Care-Based Intervention to Promote Parent-Teen Communication About Teen Strengths
Stereotyped Beliefs About Adolescents and Parent and Teen Well-Being
Stereotyped beliefs about the teen years may guide individuals’ cognition, behaviors, and well-being. This study explored associations between parents’ generalized views of typical adolescents and parent and teen well-being and examined parent–adolescent communication (PAC) as a potential mechanism in that association. One-hundred twenty parent–teen dyads (adolescents: 13–15 years) were recruited from a pediatric primary-care practice in the Unit…
Daily Parent–Teen Conflict and Parent and Adolescent Well-Being
Children’s Decision-Making Involvement About Research Participation
The primary objective of this study was to examine the associations of children's involvement in decisions about research participation with their perceptions of the decision-making process and self-efficacy. Participants were children (ages 8-17) who enrolled in research studies in the prior 2 months. Children completed a questionnaire that yielded three decision-making involvement subscales: Researcher Engages Child, Researcher Supports Autonom…
An Observational Study of Children’s Involvement in Informed Consent for Exome Sequencing Research
The goal of this study was to examine children's involvement in consent sessions for exome sequencing research and associations of involvement with provider and parent communication. Participants included 44 children (8-17 years) from five cohorts who were offered participation in an exome sequencing study. The consent sessions were audiotaped, transcribed, and coded. Providers attempted to facilitate the child's involvement in the majority (73%)…
Problems and hopes perceived by mothers, fathers and physicians of children receiving palliative care
BACKGROUND: The quality of shared decision making for children with serious illness may depend on whether parents and physicians share similar perceptions of problems and hopes for the child. OBJECTIVE: (i) Describe the problems and hopes reported by mothers, fathers and physicians of children receiving palliative care; (ii) examine the observed concordance between participants; (iii) examine parental perceived agreement; and (iv) examine whether…
Challenges in Measuring a New Construct
RELIABLE AND VALID MEASURES OF RELEVANT constructs are critical in the developing field of the empirical study of research ethics. The early phases of scale development for such constructs can be complex. We describe the methodological challenges of construct definition and operationalization and how we addressed them in our study to develop a measure of perception of voluntariness. We also briefly present our conceptual approach to the construct…
