Youth Relationship Education: A Meta-Analysis

Recent focus on the developmental importance of adolescent romantic relationships led to the formation and implementation of curricula and programs that educate high school-aged youth about healthy romantic relationships. This meta-analytic study examines the efficacy of youth-focused relationship education (YRE) on multiple outcomes: conflict management, faulty relationship beliefs, and healthy relationship attitudes. Searches revealed 33 studies of YRE, however, meta-analytic procedures only included 15 studies which provided sufficient data on the outcomes of focus. Hedge's g effect sizes were significant for two of the three outcomes and are comparable with effects of other prevention programs. Overall, YRE programs are effective in changing conflict management and faulty relationship beliefs.

Number of Children Living with Two Parents Has Dropped Since 1968

The number of children living with two parents has dropped since 1968, while the percentage living with their mother only has doubled. In 1968, 85% of children under 18 lived with two parents (regardless of marital status); by 2020, 70% did, according to the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS). Monitoring these trends is important because children’s living arrangements can have implications for children’s outcomes, such as academic achievements, internalizing problems (e.g., depression and anxiety), and externalizing problems (e.g., anger and aggression).

Using the Principles of Adult Learning to Enhance Health Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood Programming

Many healthy marriage and responsible fatherhood (HMRF) programs that serve adults find it challenging to keep participants engaged in voluntary workshop sessions and help them achieve their desired outcomes. “Adult learning theory” identifies key principles that matter most for adults to learn successfully. The brief highlights five strategies based on adult learning theory that HMRF program developers and facilitators can use to support participants’ engagement and learning. It also explores specific ways programs can implement these strategies, along with concrete tips and examples.

The Two Extremes of Fatherhood

When it comes to living with kids, there are two extremes of fatherhood — “solo” dads who appear to raise their children by themselves and “absent” dads who appear to have little or nothing to do with parenting. These two types of fathers may seem like polar opposites. Yet, they have many characteristics in common. For example, they’re both more likely to have never married and to be living with their own parents.

Social Media and Online Safety Practices of Young Parents

This analysis of the Young Parent Study in British Columbia investigates social media and online safety practices of 113 young parents. Online safety concerns of young parents in this study focused on personal safety, their children’s online privacy and image management. These concerns reflect their dual roles, integrating youth image and information management concerns with parental concerns over the safety and information privacy of their own children.

This is What Loneliness Looks Like

Data drawn from the Environmental Risk Longitudinal Twin Study, a cohort of 2,232 individuals born in the U.K. in the mid-1990s, shows that loneliness is associated with lower perceived conscientiousness, agreeableness, and extroversion and higher perceived neuroticism. The study also identifies three themes of participants: “uncomfortable in own skin,” “clustering of risk,” and “difficulties accessing social resources.” These results add depth to the current conceptualization of loneliness and emphasize the complexity and intersectional nature of the circumstances severely lonely young adults live in.

Healthy Relationships in Adolescence

During adolescence, young people learn how to form safe and healthy relationships with friends, parents, caregivers, teachers, and romantic partners. Adolescents often try on different identities and roles, and all of these relationships contribute to their identity formation. However, relationships with caring adults—including parents or caregivers, mentors, or coaches—are the building blocks for all other relationships, providing examples for how a young person handles them. This resource provides information on healthy and unhealthy adolescent relationships including: dating, friendships, and relationships with parents or caregivers.

What Makes Relationships Thrive

Everyone wants to be loved and appreciated. But psychologist Harry Reis says there’s another ingredient to successful relationships that’s every bit as important as love.

What is Consent?

Sexual consent is a special kind of permission that people give freely, knowingly, on a case by case basis, and with the understanding that they can take it back at any time. Most importantly, consent is a shared decision. This means people reaching a conclusion together. It’s not a transaction or a deal, and there’s nothing binding or mandatory about it. But it isn’t always easy to make sure you and your partners are on the same wavelength. Really, the only way to be sure is to talk about it! Here are four principles of consent to consider when having these conversations.

Program Supports Economic Recovery

Deadline: February 10, 2022

The American Rescue Plan Act Good Jobs Challenge is designed to help get Americans back to work by developing and strengthening regional systems to develop and execute sectoral partnerships that will lead to well-paying jobs.

The program encourages systems and partnerships to address populations with labor market barriers such as persons with disabilities, at-risk youth, individuals in recovery, individuals with past criminal records including justice-impacted and reentry participants, and veterans.
