Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of this book offers an expanded and updated blueprint for more consistently improved practice, emphasizing family process and structure instead of only individual developmental stages. Its chapters deftly summarize the recent knowledge base about families with adolescents and explains how to apply these results across mental health and social services disciplines. The new edition clearly illustrates family concerns and theoretical perspectives through real-world vignettes and cogent use of family assessment measures. Chapters offer a broad understanding of how diversity in all its forms – including race/ethnicity, culture, religion, and sexual orientation – has created a much more nuanced understanding of how families with adolescents are able to function within their environment. Both major challenges to families and communities form the backdrop of the second edition’s focus on forecasting in which the theoretical, empirical, and intervention literatures necessarily move in service to the health and well-being of families with adolescents. Featured topics include: Central concepts of family development, family systems, ecological, attachment, and social learning theories in relation to families with adolescents. Influence of the family on adolescent problem behavior, mental health concerns, substance use issues, educational attainment, and social competence outcomes. Selected studies on parenting behaviors, conflict resolution, and other major aspects of families with adolescents. Application topics in family-based intervention and prevention programs. Integrating theory, research, and applications to create a “triple threat” model. Diversity issues surrounding race/ethnicity, culture, religion, and sexual orientation. Families with Adolescents, Second Edition, is an essential resource for researchers, professors, and graduate and advanced undergraduate students as well as professionals and other mental health clinicians, practitioners, and therapists in clinical child and developmental psychology, family studies, human development, sociology, social work, education, and all allied disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study utilized an explanatory correlational design to examine the relationship which exists between the predictor variables of adolescent's perception of family adaptation, cohesion, and communication, parental use of substances, adolescent age and gender and the criterion variables of adolescent behavioral intention and self-reported use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs. The theoretical perspectives of the study, derived from developmental theory and the Circumplex Model of Marital and Family Systems viewed the adolescent stage as a period in which the entire family is challenged to balance levels of adaptation and cohesion in order to facilitate individuation and autonomy of adolescent members. Use of controlled substances by adolescents are considered behaviors which may be influenced by patterns of interaction within the family system. The sample consisted of 306 male and female high school students. Following consent from the student and at least one parent the adolescent was asked to complete four paper and pencil questionnaires. These questionnaires included the Demographic Survey; the Primary Prevention Awareness, Attitude and Usage Scale; the FACES III; and the Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale. Utilizing measures of central tendency and canonical correlation, the data analysis statistically addressed the relationships between the two variables sets. The findings indicated that balanced levels of family functioning and low usage of substances by parents has a strong relationship with decreased substance use by adolescents. Conversely, non-balanced families and those in which parents use substances more often, are families in which the adolescents are more likely to use substances. Age and gender had no significant relation to adolescent substance use or levels of family functioning. Family adaptation, cohesion and communication, and parental role modeling are variables that appear to have a significant impact upon the decisions adolescents make concerning use of alcohol, tobacco products and illicit drugs.

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Psychology - Miscellaneous, grade: A, , course: Msc, language: English, abstract: The aim of the present study was to find out the family and peer influences on adolescent drug addicts. The sample comprised of 110 adolescent (male) taken from the different areas of Khyber Pkhtoonkhwa. The instruments used were: (i) Index Of Family Relation (IFR). It consisted of a 5- point Likert type scale with 17 items. Seven items were positively coded, i.e. 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 14 16 & 17 and 10 were negatively coded. (ii) Index Of Peer Relation (IPR). It comprised of a 5 point Likert scale with 13 items. Eleven were positively coded and 2 items (4 &5) were negative. For the statistical analysis Mean, Stander Deviation and t-value was calculated that t-test were used to analyze the relationship of high and low income group of addicts with their peers and with their family. The correlation between family influence and friends influenced on the addicts was checked. The results indicated that lower income groups of adolescent drug addicts have poor relationships with their family and strong relationship with their peers. Low income group of addicts have more intrafamilial problem then the high income group of addicts. The alpha reliability of both scales was also calculated. The reliability of IFR is .95 and reliability of IPR is .7

Book excerpt: Adolescent substance use is the world's leading number one public health issue (CASAColumbia, 2011). For many adolescents, illicit substance use has become part of the norm within their adolescent years (Crews, He & Hodge, 2006). According to the Trust for America's Health Report, the drug overdose rate among ages 12 to 25 has more than doubled during the past decade, rising from 300,000 deaths in 1999-2001 to 700,000 deaths in 2011-2013 (Thompson, 2015). Research shows that addiction can negatively also affect teens mentally, emotionally, and physically (Humphries, 2016). Thus, there is a dire need for early effective drug intervention and prevention to help protect and inform teens. Families can be an important protective context for decreasing substance use and abuse. The purpose of the current study was to investigate whether types of conversations during family meals relates to adolescent substance use. Also, the study examines whether family cohesion mediates the relationship between types of conversations and adolescent substance use. Data were obtained through questionnaires completed by 72 college students, ages 18 to 24 years, enrolled in child development courses at a Northern Californian public university. Findings depicted that an increase in criticism during family meals was correlated to marijuana use and cocaine use. On the other hand, conversations that involved parental monitoring was associated with a decrease in cocaine usage with results showing that parental monitoring was a potential protective factor for substance use. Families who had conversations during family meals that involved parental monitoring were less likely to initiate cocaine use. Family meals provide important opportunities for positive conversations and parental monitoring that can strengthen connections among family members. Resilient families who build positive connections may be more likely to work through conflict and maintain relationships with one another. The findings point out the importance of parental monitoring and lack of criticism during adolescence. The relationship between specific conversations and substance use demonstrate the significance of family meals for prevention and intervention efforts against adolescent delinquency.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth have nearly always exhibited behaviors that frustrate adults. It can be diffi cult to understand why young people engage in risky or destructive behavior, and it is challenging to develop strategies to encourage more healthy and responsible behavior among our youth. However, it is helpful to realize that despite the fact that large numbers of youth engage in frightful and destructive behaviors for pe riods of time during adolescence and early adulthood, a large proportion of youth find a way not only to survive but also to bounce back and contribute significantly to the furtherance of human development. We are not the first generation of adults to experience the pain, fear, and frustration of dealing with our youth. More important, we recognize that we are not helpless when faced with the problems youth experience. While it is true that adolescents have always exhibited problem behaviors, a number of effective tools and approaches have always been at our disposal to assist with appropriate youth development. Of course, the most effective approaches require a tremendous amount of focused time and energy.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family therapists have proposed that specific types of family interactions are dysfunctional for the family system and can produce long-term negative effects for the child. They further propose that, for healthy family functioning to be maintained, parental alliances must be sustained and excessive cross-generational coalitions (parent-child alliances) must be blocked. This fundamental assumption, proposed by family therapists, has rarely been empirically tested. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between family interactional patterns and the misconduct of adolescent males. Misconduct by the adolescent was defined by the youth having contact with the police due to delinquent behavior. Specifically, this study was concerned with determining if cross-generational coalitions, witnessed in parent-child interactions, were predictive of later antisocial behavior on the part of the adolescent while controlling for family structure, family problem solving, marital satisfaction, parental conflict, and child externality. Subjects were 68 families consisting of mother, father or stepfather, and son. The first family interaction assessment took place in 1984-1985 when the child was 9.7 years old. The second assessment of family interaction occurred two years later. Follow-up data on the adolescent's delinquent behavior, assessed through county court records, was last collected in 1991 when subjects were 15 to 16 years old. Families were paid for their participation as part of their involvement in a larger study (Capaldi & Patterson, 1987). The results of logistic and multiple regression analyses indicated no association between parent-child coalitions and occurrence or the severity of delinquent behavior. Both analyses did, however, find that family problem-solving skills and a non-intact family structure were significant predictors of later delinquency and of the severity of the delinquency by the adolescent.
Download or read book The Impact of Childhood Family Disruption on Substance Use Patterns Among Offspring of Alcoholics written by Michael Alan Stewart and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offspring of alcoholic parents have been identified as at risk for maladjustment across many domains of psychosocial functioning, including the development of alcohol and drug problems. However, it is critical to acknowledge that not all children of alcoholics (COAs) are maladjusted. A theoretically- and empirically-based understanding of the relationship between parental alcoholism and behavioral and psychological problems is necessary for the identification of children at greatest risk and for the development of appropriate intervention approaches. The present study investigated how family disruption in childhood, including parental divorce, instability, and aggression and violence between family members, may contribute to the development of alcohol or drug involvement among adolescent COAs. Offspring conduct problems and level of familial support were examined as potential mediating or moderating factors. Subjects, who were selected from an ongoing longitudinal study, included 50 substance abusing and 50 nonabusing adolescents with at least one alcoholic biological parent. Adolescent and parent pairs completed a battery of psychosocial interviews and questionnaires at intake and at follow-up time points of 6 months, 1, 2, and 4 years. Analyses included the cross-sectional comparison of abusers and nonabusers, and longitudinal evaluation of initially nonabusing teens. The families in this study reported much higher rates of violence, including both interparental and parent to child aggression, than those which have been reported in the general population. Childhood family instability was related to offspring conduct problems and lessened familial support in adolescence. However, neither family instability, nor family aggression and violence, during childhood were related to subsequent substance involvement. Contrary to expectations, male adolescents from intact families demonstrated greater risk for substance involvement and abuse than those who experienced parental divorce during childhood. Discrepancies between the present results and previous evidence may be due in part to the present focus on the impact of family disruption on offspring functioning over time rather than concurrently. Future study of the impact of family disruption on COAs should include consideration of alcohol-specific behaviors (such as modeling) as well as changes in the family environment over time.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This longitudinal study examined whether family functioning moderates the relationship between paternal substance dependence and adolescent alcohol use. At the initial assessment (Time 1) the sample included 249 15-19 year-old adolescents and their fathers. All participants were followed-up 5 years later (Time 2). At both times of assessment, all participants were administered an extensive clinical psychiatric interview. Additionally, the adolescent offspring completed a series of self-report questionnaires regarding their perceived family functioning (at Time 1) and alcohol use (at Time 2). Gender differences were also examined. Results indicated that family functioning partially moderates the relationship between paternal substance dependence and adolescent alcohol use. Specifically, family adaptability moderates the relationship between paternal substance dependence and adolescent boys' frequency of alcohol use to 'get high'/'get drunk'. Results further indicated that family cohesion moderated the relationship between paternal substance dependence and adolescent girls' frequency of alcohol use to 'get high'/'get drunk', and family cohesion and support moderated the relationship between paternal substance dependence and symptoms of alcohol abuse reported by adolescent girls. Findings are discussed in relation to the Family Systems Theory, the Ecological Theory, and Developmental Contextual Theory.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
