the influence of Parental Monitoring and parent adolescent communication on bahamian adolescent risk involvement a three year longitudinal examination
Social Science & Medicine, 2013Co-Authors: Bo Wang, Bonita Stanton, Lesley Cottrell, Lynette Deveaux, Linda KaljeeAbstract:The literature suggests that Parental Monitoring can best be conceptualized and measured through the domains of Parental knowledge, youth disclosure, Parental solicitation, and Parental control. Using longitudinal data on 913 grade-six Bahamian students followed over a period of three years, we examined the unique and independent roles of these domains of Parental Monitoring and parent-adolescent communication in relation to adolescent involvement in delinquency, substance use, and sexual risk behaviors. The results obtained with mixed-effects models indicate that Parental knowledge, youth disclosure, and Parental control are negatively associated with both delinquency and substance use. Open parent-adolescent communication was associated with decreased sexual risk behavior, whereas problematic parent-adolescent communication was associated with increased sexual risk behavior. The results obtained with path models indicate that youth disclosure is a significant longitudinal predictor of reduced adolescent delinquency and that Parental control during early adolescence predicted reduced substance use in middle adolescence. The findings suggest that Parental knowledge, youth disclosure and Parental control differ in their impacts on substance use, delinquency and sexual risk behaviors. Problematic parent-adolescent communication is consistently associated with increases in all three types of adolescent risk behaviors. Future Parental Monitoring interventions should focus on enhancing parents' interpersonal communication skills and emphasize the differences in and importance of the unique components of Parental Monitoring.

dynamic association between Parental Monitoring and communication and adolescent risk involvement among african american adolescents
Journal of The National Medical Association, 2007Co-Authors: Hongmei Yang, Bonita Stanton, Lesley Cottrel, Jennifer Galbraith, Linda KaljeeAbstract:PURPOSE: To examine: (1) the relationship between Parental Monitoring and communication and adolescent risk involvement over time, including consideration of their potential interaction; and (2) the effect of consistent versus inconsistent Monitoring and communication over time on adolescent risk behaviors. METHODS: Baseline and follow-up data were collected from 1999-2003. A total of 817 African-American adolescents and their parents were recruited from 35 low-income urban communities in Baltimore, MD. Perceived Parental Monitoring, parent-adolescent communication and seven risk behaviors were assessed. Logistic general estimating equation (GEE) models were performed to assess the dynamic association. RESULTS: Perceived Parental Monitoring had protective effects on concurrent adolescent risk involvement over two-year observation. The protective effect on girls' sexual abstinence increased significantly over time. Perceived problem communication was associated with increased risk of concurrent involvement in violent behaviors, but the effect did not change over time. For girls, the probability of engaging in sex increased greatly (from 0.3 to 0.6) for those who perceived problem communication, while it remained stable (about 0.4) for those perceiving less problem communication. CONCLUSIONS: The data confirm the protective effect of perceived Parental Monitoring on adolescent risk involvement. It also extends previous findings by showing the importance of consistent Parental Monitoring and communication.

youth and Parental perceptions of Parental Monitoring and parent adolescent communication youth depression and youth risk behaviors
Social Behavior and Personality, 2006Co-Authors: Rebecca Clemens, Bonita Stanton, Lesley Cottrell, Hongmei Yang, Lynette Deveaux, Sonya Lunn, Carole HarrisAbstract:Data from 752 Bahamian youth and their parents were analyzed to examine the relationships among youth depression with youth risk involvement, Parental Monitoring, and parent-youth communication. Depressed youth were older, more likely to engage in risk behaviors, and they perceived significantly lower levels of Parental Monitoring and higher levels of impaired communication than did nondepressed youth. Both depressed and nondepressed youth perceived significantly lower rates of Parental Monitoring and open communication and higher rates of problem communication than did their parents, but the differences in perceptions of open communication were significantly greater among depressed parent-youth dyads. Depressed youth, youth with past histories of risk behavior, youth reporting higher levels of impaired communication and lower levels of Parental Monitoring were more likely to anticipate future risk behavior.

parent and adolescent perceptions of Parental Monitoring and adolescent risk involvement
Parenting: Science and Practice, 2003Co-Authors: Lesley Cottrell, Carole Harris, Dawn Dalessandri, Melissa S Atkins, Bill Richardson, Bonita StantonAbstract:Objective. To compare parent and youth reports of the extent to which parents monitor their adolescents and to determine whether parents' perceptions of Parental Monitoring are more predictive of adolescent risk behavior. Design. Data were obtained from a cross-sectional sample of 270 parent - adolescent dyads recruited from rural communities in West Virginia. Parents completed a series of written questionnaires, and adolescents (12-16 years) provided information about their involvement in various risk behaviors. Results. Parent perceptions of Parental Monitoring efforts did not relate to adolescent perceptions of Parental Monitoring; parents generally perceived themselves to have more information about their adolescents' whereabouts and activities than their adolescents reported. No main effects of age or gender were found in the discrepancies between parent and adolescent Monitoring reports. Adolescent reports of Monitoring were negatively correlated with adolescent drinking, marijuana use, and sexual a...

impact of perceived Parental Monitoring on adolescent risk behavior over 4 years
Journal of Adolescent Health, 2000Co-Authors: Xiaoming Li, Bonita Stanton, Susan FeigelmanAbstract:Abstract Purpose: To determine the stability of perceived Parental Monitoring over time and its long-term effect on health risk behaviors among low-income, urban African-American children and adolescents. Design: Prospective, longitudinal follow-up (4 years). Subjects: A total of 383 African-American youth aged 9–15 years at baseline recruited from nine recreation centers serving three public housing communities in an Eastern city. Outcome Measures: A six-item measure assessing perceived Parental Monitoring and an 11-item self-reported measure assessing unprotected sex, drug use, and drug trafficking were administered at baseline and at regular intervals over the subsequent 4 years. Analysis: Concordance was assessed by Pearson correlation coefficients at the level of scale and by kappa scores at the level of items. The association between the Monitoring score and risk involvement was determined by stepwise multiple regression analysis including Parental Monitoring, age, gender, intervention status, and two-way interactions between Parental Monitoring and age, gender, intervention status as independent variables. Results: The perception of being monitored demonstrated consistency over time. Parental Monitoring was inversely correlated with all three targeted risk behaviors cross-sectionally and prospectively. Conclusion: These data provide evidence for an inverse relationship between perceived Parental Monitoring and risk involvement cross-sectionally and longitudinally. These data support the long-term effect of perceived Parental Monitoring on risk behaviors among urban, low-income African-American children and adolescents. Coupled with some evidence suggesting that directed interventions might be able to increase Parental Monitoring, this study provides a solid platform for reinforcing the importance of Parental Monitoring and directing intervention efforts at strengthening Parental Monitoring to reduce adolescent risk behaviors.

Parental Monitoring a way to decrease substance use among swiss adolescents
European Journal of Pediatrics, 2013Co-Authors: Lionel Tornay, Pierreandre Michaud, Gerhard Gmel, Michael L Wilson, Andre Berchtold, Joancarles SurisAbstract:The objective of this research was to determine whether the level of Parental Monitoring is associated with substance use among adolescents in Switzerland, and to assess whether this effect remains when these adolescents have consuming peers. For this purpose, we used a nationally representative sample from the Swiss participation in the 2007 European School Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs survey, which included 7,611 adolescents in public schools (8th–10th grades). Four levels of Parental control were created and four substances (tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, and ecstasy) were analyzed. All significant variables at the bivariate level were included in the multivariate analysis. Most adolescents had a high level of Parental Monitoring and that was associated with younger age, females, high socioeconomic status, intact family structure, and satisfactory relationships with mother, father, and peers. Overall, substance use decreased as Parental Monitoring increased and high Parental Monitoring decreased as having consuming peers increased. Results remained essentially the same when the variable “having consuming peers” was added to the analysis. Conclusion: Parental Monitoring is associated to positive effects on adolescent substance use with a reduction of consumption and a lower probability of having consuming peers, which seems to protect adolescents against potentially negative peer influence. Encouraging parents to monitor their adolescents’ activities and friendships by establishing rules about what is allowed or not is a way to limit the negative influence of consuming peers on adolescent substance use.

my older sibling was drunk younger siblings drunkenness in relation to Parental Monitoring and the parent adolescent relationship
Journal of Adolescence, 2010Co-Authors: Diana Gossraubreen, Emmanuel Kuntsche, Gerhard GmelAbstract:This study explored the links between having older siblings who get drunk, satisfaction with the parent-adolescent relationship, Parental Monitoring, and adolescents' risky drinking. Regression models were conducted based on a national representative sample of 3725 8th to 10th graders in Switzerland (mean age 15.0, SD = .93) who indicated having older siblings. Results showed that both Parental factors and older siblings' drinking behaviour shape younger siblings' frequency of risky drinking. Parental Monitoring showed a linear dose-response relationship, and siblings' influence had an additive effect. There was a non-linear interaction effect between parent-adolescent relationship and older sibling's drunkenness. The findings suggest that, apart from avoiding an increasingly unsatisfactory relationship with their children, Parental Monitoring appears to be important in preventing risky drinking by their younger children, even if the older sibling drinks in such a way. However, a satisfying relationship with parents does not seem to be sufficient to counterbalance older siblings' influence.

does Parental Monitoring during adolescence moderate neighborhood effects on african american youth outcomes
Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2020Co-Authors: Keith C Herman, Brandy Pugh, Nicholas S IalongoAbstract:The present study investigated the effects of Parental Monitoring, neighborhood risk, and racism experiences during early adolescence on adolescents’ emotional and behavioral outcomes in high school. Five hundred twenty-two African American youth and their parents and teachers completed surveys about youth development over time. Consistent with our hypotheses, we found that neighborhood risk and racism had small and significant relations with anxiety, oppositional behavior, and conduct problems. Additionally, Parental Monitoring moderated the effects of neighborhood risk on behavior problems in both 9th and 12th grade, controlling for baseline problems. Finally, Parental Monitoring did not moderate effects of risk contexts on the development of anxiety problems. Findings are discussed with regard to implications for supporting effective parenting practices in high-risk contexts.

Parental Monitoring association with externalized behavior and academic outcomes in urban african american youth a moderated mediation analysis
American Journal of Community Psychology, 2016Co-Authors: Roberto Lopeztamayo, Lavome W Robinson, Sharon F Lambert, Leonard A Jason, Nicholas S IalongoAbstract:African-American adolescents exposed to neighborhood disadvantage are at increased risk for engaging in problem behavior and academic underachievement. It is critical to identify the mechanisms that reduce problem behavior and promote better academic outcomes in this population. Based on social disorganization and socioecological theories, the current prospective study examined pathways from Parental Monitoring to academic outcomes via externalizing behavior at different levels of neighborhood disadvantage. A moderated mediation model employing maximum likelihood was conducted on 339 African-American students from 9th to 11th grade (49.3% females) with a mean age of 14.8 years (SD ± 0.35). The results indicated that Parental Monitoring predicted low externalizing behavior, and low externalizing behavior predicted better academic outcomes after controlling for externalizing behavior in 9th grade, intervention status, and gender. Mediation was supported, as the index of mediation was significant. Conversely, neighborhood disadvantage did not moderate the path from Parental Monitoring to externalizing behavior. Implications for intervention at both community and individual levels and study limitations are discussed.

Parental Monitoring trajectories and gambling among a longitudinal cohort of urban youth
Addiction, 2014Co-Authors: Grace P Lee, Elizabeth A Stuart, Nicholas S Ialongo, Silvia S MartinsAbstract:Aim To test the strength of the association between Parental Monitoring trajectories throughout early adolescence (ages 11–14) and gambling behaviours by young adulthood (age 22). Design Longitudinal cohort design. Setting Baltimore, Maryland. Participants The sample of 514 participants with gambling data between ages 16–22 and Parental Monitoring data between ages 11–14 were predominantly African American and received subsidized lunches at age 6. Measurements The South Oaks Gambling Screen and South Oaks Gambling Screen–Revised for Adolescents collected self-reports on annual gambling and gambling problems between ages 16–22. The Parental Monitoring Subscale of the Structured Interview of Parent Management Skills and Practices–Youth Version collected self-reports on annual Parental Monitoring between ages 11–14. Findings General growth mixture modelling identified two Parental Monitoring trajectories: (i) ‘stable’ class (84.9%) began with a high level of Parental Monitoring at age 11 that remained steady to age 14; (ii) ‘declining’ class (15.1%) began with a significantly lower level of Parental Monitoring at age 11 and experienced a significant to through age 14. The declining class had increased significantly unadjusted (OR = 1.91; 95% CI = 1.59, 2.23; P ≤ 0.001) and adjusted (aOR = 1.57; 95% CI = 1.24, 1.99; P = 0.01) odds of problem gambling compared with non-gambling. Conclusion Low and/or declining Parental Monitoring of children between the ages of 11 and 14 is associated significantly with problem gambling when those children reach young adulthood.

perceived Parental Monitoring and health risk behaviors among urban low income african american children and adolescents
Journal of Adolescent Health, 2000Co-Authors: Xiaoming Li, Susan Feigelman, Bonita StantonAbstract:Abstract Purpose: To examine gender and age differences among urban, low-income, African-American children and adolescents in perceived Monitoring by their parents, and the association of perceived Parental Monitoring with family characteristics, health risk behaviors, and risk perceptions. Methods: Three cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 1992 ( n = 455), 1994 ( n = 355), and 1996 ( n = 349). Respondents aged 9–17 years were recruited from low-income urban areas including public housing communities and associated recreation centers. Both multivariate analysis of variance and correlation analysis were performed. Results: Low levels of perceived Parental Monitoring were associated with participation in several health risk behaviors, including sexual behavior, substance/drug use, drug trafficking, school truancy, and violent behaviors. Females perceived themselves to be more monitored than did males. In general, the perceived Parental Monitoring tended to decrease with advancing age of the youth. Conclusions: The strong inverse correlation between perceived Parental Monitoring and adolescent risk behavior suggests that Parental Monitoring initiatives may be an effective intervention tool. Longitudinal studies are needed to determine the long-term relationship between perceived Parental Monitoring and adolescent risk involvements.

Parental underestimates of adolescent risk behavior a randomized controlled trial of a Parental Monitoring intervention
Journal of Adolescent Health, 2000Co-Authors: Bonita Stanton, Susan Feigelman, Jennifer Galbraith, Linda Kaljee, George Cornick, Yong ZhouAbstract:Abstract Objectives: To develop and evaluate an intervention (ImPACT) seeking to increase Monitoring (supervision and communication) by parents and guardians of African-American youth regarding high risk and protective behaviors; and to develop an instrument to assess Parental Monitoring, the Parent–Adolescent Risk Behavior Concordance Scale. Design/Intervention: This research was a randomized, controlled longitudinal study. Baseline (preintervention), and 2 and 6 months postintervention data were obtained via a talking MacIntosh computer regarding youth and parent perceptions of youth involvement in 10 risk behaviors, Parental Monitoring and youth–parent communication, and condom-use skills. Intervention parents and youth received the ImPACT program and a video emphasizing Parental supervision and discussion, followed by a structured discussion and role-play emphasizing key points. Control parents and youth received an attention-control program on goal-setting, which also included an at-home video and discussion. Participants: A total of 237 parents and one each of their youth (ages 12–16 years) recruited from eight public housing developments located in a city in the mid-Atlantic region. Results: Similarity of youth and Parental reporting on the Parent–Adolescent Risk Behavior Concordance Scale was positively correlated with protective behaviors, perceived Parental Monitoring, and good parent–youth communication. At baseline, parents significantly underestimated their youth's risk behaviors. However, 2 and 6 months postintervention, the ImPACT program increased similarity of reports by youth and their parents of youth involvement in risk and protective behaviors. In addition, at 6 months postintervention, intervention (compared to control) youths and parents also demonstrated higher levels of condom-use skills. Conclusion: Parental Monitoring interventions such as ImPACT should be given to parents in conjunction with more traditional youth-centered risk-reduction interventions.
