generating intervention concepts for reducing Adolescent Relationship abuse inequities among sexual and gender minority youth protocol for a web based longitudinal human centered design study
JMIR Research Protocols, 2021Co-Authors: Robert W S Coulter, Elizabeth Miller, Shannon Mitchell, Kelly Prangley, Seth Smallwood, Leyna Bonanno, Elizabeth N Foster, Abby Wilson, Carla D ChuganiAbstract:Background: Sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY; eg, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth) are at greater risk than their cisgender heterosexual peers for Adolescent Relationship abuse (ARA; physical, sexual, or psychological abuse in a romantic Relationship). However, there is a dearth of efficacious interventions for reducing ARA among SGMY. To address this intervention gap, we designed a novel web-based methodology leveraging the field of human-centered design to generate multiple ARA intervention concepts with SGMY. Objective: This paper aims to describe study procedures for a pilot study to rigorously test the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of using web-based human-centered design methods with SGMY to create novel, stakeholder-driven ARA intervention concepts. Methods: We are conducting a longitudinal, web-based human-centered design study with 45-60 SGMY (aged between 14 and 18 years) recruited via social media from across the United States. Using MURAL (a collaborative, visual web-based workspace) and Zoom (a videoconferencing platform), the SGMY will participate in four group-based sessions (1.5 hours each). In session 1, the SGMY will use rose-thorn-bud to individually document their ideas about healthy and unhealthy Relationship characteristics and then use affinity clustering as a group to categorize their self-reported ideas based on similarities and differences. In session 2, the SGMY will use rose-thorn-bud to individually critique a universal evidence-based intervention to reduce ARA and affinity clustering to aggregate their ideas as a group. In session 3, the SGMY will use a creative matrix to generate intervention ideas for reducing ARA among them and force-rank the intervention ideas based on their potential ease of implementation and potential impact using an importance-difficulty matrix. In session 4, the SGMY will generate and refine intervention concepts (from session 3 ideations) to reduce ARA using round robin (for rapid iteration) and concept poster (for fleshing out ideas more fully). We will use content analyses to document the intervention concepts. In a follow-up survey, the SGMY will complete validated measures about the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the web-based human-centered design methods (a priori benchmarks for success: means >3.75 on each 5-point scale). Results: This study was funded in February 2020. Data collection began in August 2020 and will be completed by April 2021. Conclusions: Through rigorous testing of the feasibility of our web-based human-centered design methodology, our study may help demonstrate the use of human-centered design methods to engage harder-to-reach stakeholders and actively involve them in the co-creation of relevant interventions. Successful completion of this project also has the potential to catalyze intervention research to address ARA inequities for SGMY. Finally, our approach may be transferable to other populations and health topics, thereby advancing prevention science and health equity. Trial Registration:

electronic vapor product use and violence victimization among a nationally representative sample of Adolescents
Journal of Adolescent Health, 2021Co-Authors: Maya I Ragavan, Elizabeth Miller, Alison J Culyba, Kimberly A Randell, Karhai ChuAbstract:Abstract Purpose We examined associations between electronic vapor product use (vaping) and violence victimization (Adolescent Relationship abuse (ARA), youth violence, bullying, and experiencing all three types of violence). Methods Data were drawn from the 2017 National Youth Risk Behavioral Survey. Logistic regression examined associations between vaping and violence victimization, adjusting for sex, age, race, identification as a sexual minority, and use of other substances. Results After adjusting for demographic characteristics, vaping was significantly and positively associated with ARA, youth violence, bullying, and experiencing all three types of violence (ARA: adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 3.0, 95% CI: 2.5–3.5; youth violence: aOR 3.0, CI: 2.4–3.6; bullying: aOR 1.5, CI: 1.4–1.7; all three types of violence: 10, CI: 6.3, 15.8). When use of other substances was added into the model, these associations attenuated, and, for bullying, lost significance. Conclusions Vaping is associated with increased violence victimization, particularly for youth experiencing ARA, youth violence, and polyvictimization. Further longitudinal studies are needed to determine directionality of these associations and guide prevention efforts.

the lasting influence of a peer led Adolescent Relationship abuse prevention program on former peer leaders Relationships identities and trajectories in emerging adulthood
Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2020Co-Authors: Natalie Penhale Johnson, Jess Alder, Elizabeth Miller, Mangai Sundaram, Maya I RagavanAbstract:Adolescent Relationship abuse (ARA) has well-documented detrimental health effects. Adolescence is a window of opportunity to promote development of healthy Relationship behaviors. Although peer-led interventions have a history of use in the health education field, there are few rigorously evaluated peer-led interventions targeting ARA. Start Strong leverages peer support by training Adolescents to deliver ARA prevention curriculum to younger peers. Although the program has shown positive results in recipients, little is known about the impact on the peer leaders themselves. This qualitative study describes the impact of being an ARA prevention peer leader on former peer leaders' Relationships and trajectories in emerging adulthood. Specific objectives include: (a) how being a peer leader shaped participants' norms around romantic Relationships and ARA, and (b) the impact of participating in a peer leadership program on their emerging adult lives. Researchers conducted semi-structured interviews with former peer leaders and coded transcripts using thematic analysis. Fourteen former peer leaders aged 18-26 participated. Most participants (99%) identified as Black or Afro-Latinx. Participants described a lasting impact on their Relationships, identity formation, future orientation, and professional lives. Participants highlighted the skills they use to avoid unhealthy Relationships and help friends and family navigate their Relationships. They identified unexpected challenges, including a sense of isolation around how their Relationship expectations differ from same-aged peers, and trepidation about dating partners without advanced healthy Relationship knowledge. Participants highlighted positive impacts beyond those pertaining to Relationships, including their identity development and expanded sense of opportunity. Finally, they identified tangible skills gained from program participation and relevance to their professional paths. This study suggests that peer-led ARA prevention programs have a far-reaching impact on participants' lives that lasts into adulthood. Future studies may examine how professional development within peer-led interventions can influence future orientation and thus bolster protective factors against ARA.

social support exposure to parental intimate partner violence and Relationship abuse among marginalized youth
Journal of Adolescent Health, 2020Co-Authors: Maya I Ragavan, Daniel S. Shaw, Alison J Culyba, Elizabeth MillerAbstract:Abstract Purpose We examined associations between parental IPV exposure, perceived social support, and Adolescent Relationship abuse (ARA) victimization, specifically in a group of marginalized youth. Methods Data were drawn from surveys administered to marginalized youth as part of the Healthy Allegheny Teen Survey. Logistic regression examined (1) the association between IPV exposure and social support and (2) how social support influences the association between IPV exposure and ARA victimization. Results IPV-exposed youth reported lower perceived social support (adjusted odds ratio: .54, confidence interval [CI]: .31–.96). There was a significant association between IPV exposure and ARA victimization (odds ratio: 3.5, CI: 1.5–8.1). However, among youth with higher social support, the association between IPV exposure and ARA victimization attenuated and lost significance (odds ratio: 1.9, CI: .57–6.5). Conclusions IPV-exposed youth reported less social support; however, social support may buffer the association between IPV exposure and ARA. Interventions may consider bolstering social support for IPV-exposed youth.

discrepancies between perceptions of the parent Adolescent Relationship and early Adolescent depressive symptoms an illustration of polynomial regression analysis
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 2016Co-Authors: Stefanie A Nelemans, Susan Branje, William W Hale, Luc Goossens, Hans M Koot, Albertine J Oldehinkel, Wim MeeusAbstract:Adolescence is a critical period for the development of depressive symptoms. Lower quality of the parent-Adolescent Relationship has been consistently associated with higher Adolescent depressive symptoms, but discrepancies in perceptions of parents and Adolescents regarding the quality of their Relationship may be particularly important to consider. In the present study, we therefore examined how discrepancies in parents' and Adolescents' perceptions of the parent-Adolescent Relationship were associated with early Adolescent depressive symptoms, both concurrently and longitudinally over a 1-year period. Our sample consisted of 497 Dutch Adolescents (57 % boys, M age = 13.03 years), residing in the western and central regions of the Netherlands, and their mothers and fathers, who all completed several questionnaires on two occasions with a 1-year interval. Adolescents reported on depressive symptoms and all informants reported on levels of negative interaction in the parent-Adolescent Relationship. Results from polynomial regression analyses including interaction terms between informants' perceptions, which have recently been proposed as more valid tests of hypotheses involving informant discrepancies than difference scores, suggested the highest Adolescent depressive symptoms when both the mother and the Adolescent reported high negative interaction, and when the Adolescent reported high but the father reported low negative interaction. This pattern of findings underscores the need for a more sophisticated methodology such as polynomial regression analysis including tests of moderation, rather than the use of difference scores, which can adequately address both congruence and discrepancies in perceptions of Adolescents and mothers/fathers of the parent-Adolescent Relationship in detail. Such an analysis can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of risk factors for early Adolescent depressive symptoms.

longitudinal associations between perceived parent child Relationship quality and depressive symptoms in adolescence
Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2010Co-Authors: Susan Branje, William W Hale, Tom Frijns, Wim MeeusAbstract:This longitudinal study examined bidirectional paths between perceived parent-Adolescent Relationship quality and depressive symptoms, as well as the moderating role of sex, age, and personality type. 1313 Dutch Adolescents (51% girls) from two cohorts (923 12-year olds and 390 16-year olds at Wave 1) reported on their personality, depressive symptoms, and perceived Relationship quality to parents in four waves. Consistent with a Relationship erosion perspective, depressive symptoms negatively predicted perceived Relationship quality with parents. Relationship quality to mothers predicted depressive symptoms for boys and girls, but Relationship quality to fathers predicted depressive symptoms only for boys. Personality type only moderated initial associations between Relationship quality with mothers and depressive symptoms, which were stronger for Overcontrollers and Undercontrollers than for Resilients. Results thus reveal a pattern of mutual influence between perceived Relationship quality and depressive symptoms that is moderated by the interplay among parent and Adolescent sex and Adolescent personality type.

marital status marital process and parental resources in predicting Adolescents emotional adjustment a multilevel analysis
Journal of Family Issues, 2004Co-Authors: Inge Vandervalk, Wim Meeus, Ed Spruijt, Martijn De Goede, Cora J M MaasAbstract:This study examined the Relationship between Adolescent emotional adjustment and the family environment (i.e., family status, family process, and parental resources). This was done by way of multilevel analyses, with a sample of 2,636 parent-child couples of both intact and divorced families. The results indicated that Adolescent emotional adjustment was clearly based on the family as well as on the individual. We found support for the hypothesis that growing up both in postdivorce families and in intact families with a low marital quality related negatively to Adolescent emotional adjustment. Our hypothesis that parental resources, in the form of parental support, parent-Adolescent Relationship, and parental psychological health, partly mediate the negative association between low marital quality and divorce on one hand and youngsters’ adjustment on the other hand was also confirmed. Growing up in postdivorce families was especially detrimental for the emotional adjustment of girls.

Adolescents’ Conflict Management Styles with Mothers: Longitudinal Associations with Parenting and Reactance
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 2018Co-Authors: Lies Christine Missotten, Susan Branje, Koen Luyckx, Stijn Van PetegemAbstract:Adolescents’ conflict management styles with parents are assumed to have an important impact on the quality of the parent-Adolescent Relationship and on Adolescents’ psychosocial development. Longitudinal research investigating possible determinants of these conflict management skills is scarce. The parenting context and Adolescents’ tendency to reject maternal authority are expected to shape Adolescents’ conflict management styles. Therefore, the present three-wave longitudinal study focuses on how parenting and Adolescents’ reactance relates to Adolescents’ conflict management styles and conflict frequency with mothers over time, and whether reactance may also explain the associations between parenting and certain conflict variables. We addressed these research questions by using a hybrid cross-lagged panel model with parenting as a latent variable (i.e., supportive parenting) and the other variables as manifest variables. Supportive parenting was measured by four well-known parenting dimensions: autonomy support, responsiveness, psychological control, and harsh control. Four conflict styles were investigated: positive problem solving, withdrawal, conflict engagement, and compliance. Questionnaires were completed by 812 Adolescents at three annual waves (52% girls at Time 1). Supportive parenting was associated with fewer conflicts, more positive problem solving, and less compliance and reactance over time. Reactance was associated with more conflicts, conflict engagement and withdrawal, and less compliance. We did not find evidence for the mediating role of reactance in the over-time associations between parenting and Adolescents’ conflict management and frequency. Both parenting and reactance appeared important and unique determinants for Adolescents’ conflict management styles and frequency.

parent Adolescent Relationship quality as a moderator of links between covid 19 disruption and reported changes in mothers and young adults adjustment in five countries
Developmental Psychology, 2021Co-Authors: Ann T Skinner, Kirby Deaterdeckard, Jennifer Godwin, Liane Pena Alampay, Jennifer E Lansford, Dario Bacchini, Marc H Bornstein, Laura Di Giunta, Kenneth A Dodge, Sevtap GurdalAbstract:The COVID-19 pandemic has presented families around the world with extraordinary challenges related to physical and mental health, economic security, social support, and education. The current study capitalizes on a longitudinal, cross-national study of parenting, Adolescent development, and young adult competence to document the association between personal disruption during the pandemic and reported changes in internalizing and externalizing behavior in young adults and their mothers since the pandemic began. It further investigates whether family functioning during adolescence 3 years earlier moderates this association. Data from 484 families in five countries (Italy, the Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States) reveal that higher levels of reported disruption during the pandemic are related to reported increases in internalizing and externalizing behaviors after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic for young adults (Mage = 20) and their mothers in all five countries, with the exception of one association in Thailand. Associations between disruption during the pandemic and young adults' and their mothers' reported increases in internalizing and externalizing behaviors were attenuated by higher levels of youth disclosure, more supportive parenting, and lower levels of destructive Adolescent-parent conflict prior to the pandemic. This work has implications for fostering parent-child Relationships characterized by warmth, acceptance, trust, open communication, and constructive conflict resolution at all times given their protective effects for family resilience during times of crisis.

parenting styles and parent Adolescent Relationships the mediating roles of behavioral autonomy and parental authority
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018Co-Authors: Xinwen Bi, Hailei Li, Wenxin Zhang, Yiqun Yang, Meiping Wang, Kirby DeaterdeckardAbstract:The parent-Adolescent Relationship has been a classic research topic, and researchers have found that parenting styles (e.g., authoritative, authoritarian) are closely related to various qualities of parent-Adolescent Relationships (e.g., cohesion, conflict). However, little empirical work has addressed how these variables correlate with each other in mainland China, nor has prior research addressed internal psychological mechanisms. The present study investigated the associations between parenting styles and parent-Adolescent Relationship factors, examined the mediating effects of Adolescents’ expectations of behavioral autonomy and beliefs about parental authority, and explored whether Adolescent gender moderated these effects. Results from a sample of 633 Chinese Adolescents (7th grade: Mage = 13.50 ± 0.62 years, 9th grade: Mage = 15.45 ± 0.67 years, 11th grade: Mage = 17.30 ± 0.75 years) suggested similar levels of parent-Adolescent conflict frequency for all parenting styles. However, for parent-Adolescent conflict intensity, youth of neglectful and authoritarian parents reported higher levels compared to those with indulgent parents. The highest levels of cohesion with both parents were reported by Adolescents with authoritative parents, followed by indulgent, authoritarian and neglect parenting styles. Cohesion with mothers for youth with authoritative or indulgent mothers was higher for girls than boys. Adolescents’ expectation for behavioral autonomy mediated the links between parenting style and conflict, whereas Adolescents’ beliefs about the legitimacy of parental authority mediated the links between parenting style and cohesion; some of these mediating effects differed by gender. Findings highlight the importance of studying potential effects of Adolescents’ values and attitudes within the family system in specific cultural contexts.
