impact of parent Child Communication interventions on sex behaviors and cognitive outcomes for black african american and hispanic latino youth a systematic review 1988 2012
Journal of Adolescent Health, 2014Co-Authors: Madeline Y Sutton, Sarah M Lasswell, Yzette Lanier, Kim S MillerAbstract:Abstract Purpose We reviewed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted infection (STI)- behavioral interventions implemented with disproportionately affected black/African-American and Hispanic/Latino youth and designed to improve parent-Child Communications about sex. We compared their effectiveness in improving sex-related behavior or cognitive outcomes. Methods A search of electronic databases identified peer-reviewed studies published between 1988 and 2012. Eligible studies were U.S.-based parent-Child Communication interventions with active parent components, experimental and quasiexperimental designs, measurement of youth sexual health outcomes, and enrollment of ≥50% black/African-American or Hispanic/Latino youth. We conducted systematic, primary reviews of eligible papers to abstract data on study characteristics and youth outcomes. Results Fifteen studies evaluating 14 interventions were eligible. Although youth outcome measures and follow-up times varied, 13 of 15 studies (87%) showed at least one significantly improved youth sexual health outcome compared with controls ( p Conclusions Parent-Child Communication interventions that include parents of youth disproportionately affected by HIV/STIs can effectively reduce sexual risk for youth. These interventions may help reduce HIV/STI-related health disparities and improve sexual health outcomes.

cultural adaptation of a u s evidence based parenting intervention for rural western kenya from parents matter to families matter
Aids Education and Prevention, 2010Co-Authors: Melissa N Poulsen, Hilde Vandenhoudt, Juliet Ochura, Sarah C Wyckoff, Christopher O Obongo, Nelson Juma Otwoma, Gillian Njika, Kim S MillerAbstract:Evidence-based interventions (EBIs) are critical for effective HIV prevention, but time and resources required to develop and evaluate new interventions are limited. Alternatively, existing EBIs can be adapted for new settings if core elements remain intact. We describe the process of adapting the Parents Matter! Program, an EBI originally developed for African American parents to promote effective parent-Child Communication about sexual risk reduction and parenting skills, for use in rural Kenya. A systematic process was used to assess the community's needs, identify potential EBIs, identify and make adaptations, pilot-test the adapted intervention, and implement and monitor the adapted EBI. Evaluation results showed the adapted EBI retained its effectiveness, successfully increasing parent-Child sexual Communication and parenting skills. Our experience suggests an EBI can be successfully adapted for a new context if it is relevant to local needs, the process is led by a multidisciplinary team with community representation, and pilot-testing and early implementation are well monitored.

evaluation of a u s evidence based parenting intervention in rural western kenya from parents matter to families matter
Aids Education and Prevention, 2010Co-Authors: Hilde Vandenhoudt, Kim S Miller, Juliet Ochura, Sarah C Wyckoff, Christopher O Obongo, Nelson Juma Otwoma, Melissa N Poulsen, Joris Menten, Elizabeth Marum, Anne BuveAbstract:We evaluated Families Matter! Program (FMP), an intervention designed to improve parent-Child Communication about sexual risk reduction and parenting skills. Parents of 10- to 12-year-olds were recruited in western Kenya. We aimed to assess community acceptability and FMP's effect on parenting practices and effective parent-Child Communication. Data were collected from parents and their Children at baseline and 1 year postintervention. The intervention's effect was measured on six parenting and parent-Child Communication composite scores reported separately for parents and Children. Of 375 parents, 351 (94%) attended all five intervention sessions. Parents' attitudes regarding sexuality education changed positively. Five of the six composite parenting scores reported by parents, and six of six reported by Children, increased significantly at 1 year postintervention. Through careful adaptation of this U.S. intervention, FMP was well accepted in rural Kenya and enhanced parenting skills and parent-Child sexuality Communication. Parents are in a unique position to deliver primary prevention to youth before their sexual debut as shown in this Kenyan program.

i ve come for his throat roles and identities in doctor parent Child Communication
Child Care Health and Development, 2002Co-Authors: Kiek Tates, Ludwien Meeuwesen, Ed Elbers, Jozien M BensingAbstract:Previous studies on doctor-parent-Child Communication at the general practitioner’s surgery showed that the GP and the parent differ fundamentally in the way they enable or constrain Child participation.The question how to explain these differences is at the core of the present study.The aim is to describe how the three participants display their orientation to their institutional roles and identities; how they collaboratively co-construct the course of action; and how these discursive constructions structure the ongoing interaction. A qualitative analysis of 106 videos shows that although GP and parent initially show incongruent orientations toward Child participation, in the further course of the encounter all three participants jointly establish a situation in which Child participation appears to be rather an exception. It is concluded that parental speaking for the Child is, in a way, institutionally co-constructed; parents take their responsibility, which is hardly ever questioned by Children, and GPs ratify this behaviour by refraining from meta-communicative comments and by aligning with the parent in the course of the interaction.The results are discussed in terms of enabling Child participation and implications for medical practice.

Doctor-parent-Child Communication. A (re)view of the literature.
Social science & medicine (1982), 2001Co-Authors: Kiek Tates, Ludwien MeeuwesenAbstract:Studies on doctor-patient Communication focus predominantly on dyadic interactions between adults; even when the patient is a Child, the research focus is usually on doctor-parent interaction. The aim of this review study is to evaluate the state of the art of research into doctor-parent-Child Communication, and to explore the specific role of the Child. Researchers have focused on diverse aspects of the Communication in this triad, and, as a result, knowledge gained from studies in this area is poorly integrated. Most of the studies have ignored the implications of a Child's presence in medical encounters. Although all studies claim to examine the interaction in the doctor-parent-Child triad, most research methodologies used are based on dyads. Our claim. however, is that, because the interactional dynamics of a triad differ fundamentally from those of a dyad, triadic analyses are a prerequisite for a full account of the Communication between doctor, parent and Child. Suggestions are formulated for an adequate research frame regarding triads.

let mum have her say turntaking in doctor parent Child Communication
Patient Education and Counseling, 2000Co-Authors: Kiek Tates, Ludwien MeeuwesenAbstract:Abstract Recent legislation in the Netherlands requires that Children should play a part in decision making regarding their own health care. So far, however, little attention has been given to the Child's participation in medical interviews. In order to get a grip on aspects of asymmetry and control in doctor–parent–Child Communication, the present study explores the turntaking patterns in this triad at the general practitioner's surgery, and makes a comparison over the years. Videotaped observations of 106 medical interviews taken over a period of almost 20 years have been analyzed by means of the Turn Allocation System. The results show that the Child's control in the medical consultation is rather limited, though, over the years, the Child participates more actively. The Child's conversational contribution appears to be strongly related to the age of the Child. An important finding is the difference in the way GP and parent accommodate their turntaking patterns to the Child; parental control appears to be constant over the years, and is not related to the age of the Child, whereas the GP is considering the Child's age. The results are discussed in terms of implications for medical practice and health education.
