THE LATEST

The Disparate Effects of Family Structure

In this article, Melanie Wasserman reviews the latest evidence about the causal link between family structure and children’s economic and social outcomes. Going beyond the question of whether family structure affects child outcomes—a topic that’s already been covered at length—she examines how family structure differentially affects children. One important finding from recent studies is that growing up outside a family with two biological, married parents yields especially negative consequences for boys as compared to girls, including poorer educational outcomes and higher rates of criminal involvement.

An Overview of Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education Curricula

Healthy marriage and relationship education (HMRE) programming—also called marriage and relationship education or relationship education programming— teaches concepts and skills that promote healthy, safe, and stable relationships among youth and adults. When designing and implementing an HMRE program, one of the most important decisions that program providers must make is to choose which curriculum to implement.

Research Synthesis on the Benefits of Delayed Sexual Activity for Adolescents

Explore findings from a research synthesis on how the timing of first sexual activity relates to such outcomes as teen pregnancy, relationships, mental health and emotional well-being, risky sexual activity, and substance use.

Select Colleges and Intact Families

Students from married birth parent families are more than twice as likely to graduate from a selective college as those from all other family types even after controlling for parent education, family income, and student race and ethnicity.

Where is “Family” in the Social Determinants of Health?

Social determinants of health include culture, social norms, social policies, and political systems that directly impact the health of families and to some extent are influenced by families. As families fulfill their functions to socialize and protect their members, they incorporate and interpret the larger sociocultural and political worlds for their members. Therefore, issues that affect any part of the ecological worlds of individuals can affect the health of families by potentially providing protection or increasing risk.

Teens of Overcontrolling Parents Struggle with Relationships, Educational Goals

A new longitudinal study sought to determine the long-term impact on youth of parenting that is psychologically controlling. Although the study did not establish causation, it found that overbearing and overcontrolling tactics by parents when children were 13 years old were associated with difficulties in social relationships and educational attainment by the time the teens reached age 32.

How to Help Teens Navigate the Disruption and Uncertainty of a Pandemic

The COVID-19 lockdown is hard on everyone emotionally, but adolescents are the most psychologically vulnerable population. Unlike adults, who may be frightened in the present but understand that this will end, teens have difficulty seeing past present pain and towards future hope. This diminished consideration for the future, and greater focus on the present, is further suggested by impulsive decision-making observed in adolescence.

TOOLS YOU CAN USE

National Resource Center for Healthy Marriage and Families

Social service agencies are a crucial part of the safety-net for families struggling to gain or maintain economic stability. Yet all too often, these agencies are not equipped to address relationship and family issues as part of their routine service offerings. The National Resource Center for Healthy Marriage and Families helps agencies develop the capacity to promote healthy relationship skills in a way that meets both their needs and those of the families they serve.

How to Help Families and Staff Build Resilience

Resilience can help us get through and overcome hardship. But resilience is not something we're born with—it's built over time as the experiences we have interact with our unique, individual genetic makeup. That's why we all respond to stress and adversity—like the COVID-19 pandemic—differently. This brief offers three ways to build up and strengthen resilience during the COVID-19 outbreak to plan ahead for the future.

Framing Adolescent Development during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Adolescence is a time when skills to manage strong emotions and setbacks are developing—but with so many worries about family health and finances, and so many new responsibilities for sibling care, the situation could outpace young people’s ability to cope in healthy ways. By thinking about the stories we tell and the ways we tell them, we can offer up powerful alternatives to usual media stories about adolescents as selfish, dangerous, and at risk. Here are five ways we can help to reframe the conversation about adolescent development in this challenging time.

Charting a Course for Economic Mobility and Responsible Parenting

Post Date: October 21, 2020

The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) forecasts inviting states and tribes to submit applications developing interventions to educate teens and young adults about the financial, legal, and emotional responsibilities of parenthood. The primary goal of the grant projects is to leverage the child support program’s expertise on the legal and financial responsibilities of parenting to educate and motivate teens and young adults to postpone parenthood until after they have completed their education, started a career, and entered a committed relationship. The target populations for these three-year grant projects are teens and young adults ages 13-25, including unmarried parents and those who have not yet started families.
