THE LATEST

Rising Share Of U.S. Adults Are Living Without A Spouse Or Partner

In 2019, 38% of U.S. adults ages 25 to 54 were not living with a romantic partner, up from 29% in 1990, according to a new analysis of census data. Men are now more likely than women to be unpartnered, which wasn’t the case 30 years ago. Across a range of measures of economic and social status, unpartnered adults generally have different outcomes – often worse – than those who are married or cohabiting.

At Least 9 In 10 Youth Have Supportive Adults In Their Lives

This is heartening news for America’s youth, as supportive adults at home and in the community play a vital role in fostering positive outcomes for youth. It is encouraging, too, that just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the vast majority of teens ages 14 to 17 were bolstered by adults whom they could rely on for guidance and safe communication.

Influences Of Aces And Positive Childhood Experiences On Adolescent Depression And Anxiety

Adolescent depression and anxiety are major mental health concerns. This study of 3,426 socioeconomically disadvantaged adolescents finds that ACEs maltreatment and family dysfunction are two different risk dimensions for adolescent depression and anxiety. Positive childhood experiences at family are the strongest protective factors for children exposed to ACEs, followed by these in school and neighborhood. Early interventions building positive relationships may benefit adolescent mental health.

Benefits Of The Success Sequence For Self-Sufficiency And Family Stability

Since the early 2000s, researchers and policymakers have used the term 'Success Sequence' to describe a policy approach for reducing poverty and improving economic opportunity for adolescents and young adults. The term refers to a series of milestones in life—most commonly defined to include high school completion, full-time employment, and waiting for marriage to have children—that are associated with escaping poverty and joining the middle class. These milestones are described as a sequence to emphasize that their order also matters. This report presents an analysis of that success sequence.

Supporting Healthy Relationships For Youth Who Have Experienced Adversity

A new resource from the Marriage Strengthening Research and Dissemination Center provides a summary of key literature for healthy marriage and relationship education researchers and practitioners that can inform their work with youth who have faced adversity. The review identifies several promising approaches to support youth relationships, including trauma-informed programming, more rigorous program evaluations, and interventions tailored to the populations being served.

Majority Of Teens Express Anxiety/Stress Of Returning To Classroom Full-Time

As students head back to their classrooms full-time, a new poll shows that a majority (52%) of teens do not feel prepared to deal with their anxiety and stress of returning. The new Navigate 360/Zogby Strategies Poll also shows that 50% would “want part of the curriculum to be spent learning about working on my social/emotional well-being.” This latest poll—the fourth in a series — continues to reveal several sources of student apprehension.

Structural Supports To Promote Teacher Well-Being

This brief is one in a series aimed at providing K-12 education decision makers and advocates with an evidence base to ground discussions about how to best serve students during and following the novel coronavirus pandemic. Trauma-informed strategies and mindfulness supports for teachers reduce stress in ways that positively affect both teachers and students. Mindfulness trainings for teachers that explicitly teach ways to cope with stress have been shown to reduce teachers’ self-reports of emotional exhaustion and increase teaching effectiveness.

(Ed. Note – Some districts are using Mind Matters with their teachers to address pandemic stress as part of a professional development program.)

Your Kindness Creates Kindness

Young children are biologically “wired” to be kind. Adolescents are also wired to be kind. But moving into the teen years, young people may face stress, peer pressure, and other challenging moments. Sometimes their kindness doesn’t show on their faces. It’s in everyday moments that parents must take a step back, and remember to see your children for who they are.

How Parents And Children Can Learn Emotional Skills Together

If you’ve found yourself feeling like you don’t understand your kids more and more recently, you’re not alone. According to a study by the Pew Research Center, 79% of Americans see major differences between younger kids and older adults in the way they look at the world. You can better connect with your children and their communities by learning social-emotional skills alongside them.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated research that will help expand and advance our understanding about what works to prevent violence that impacts children and youth, collectively referred to as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and what works to effectively implement ACEs prevention strategies. This initiative is intended to support evaluation and implementation research studies on primary prevention programs, practices or policies with universal or selected (i.e., have one or more risk factors that place them at heightened risk for violence) populations. Funds are available to conduct such studies focused on preventing child abuse and neglect and at least one other form of violence affecting children and youth, including teen dating violence, sexual violence, youth violence, and exposure to adult intimate partner violence.

Targeting Priority Populations and Areas with Replication of Effective Programs for Teen Pregnancy Prevention

Estimated Post Date: January 14, 2022

The Office of Population Affairs (OPA) anticipates the availability of FY2022 funds to support cooperative agreements for eligible entities to replicate programs that have been proven effective through rigorous evaluation to reduce teenage pregnancy, behavioral risk factors underlying teenage pregnancy, or other associated risk factors. Anticipated funds will be used to target specific populations and/or priority areas with effective programs and supports to complement and enhance replication of effective programs in order to have the greatest impact on reducing teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Teen Pregnancy Prevention Research Grants

Estimated Post Date: January 14, 2022

OPA anticipates the availability of funding for Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) research projects and research-to-practice translation centers. The grants will make significant contributions to the teenage pregnancy prevention field by resulting in improved curricula development and delivery strategies, reduction of disparities among participants, and better data collection and analysis related to program effectiveness. The research grants will primarily consist of secondary data analyses or small research projects to explore new questions in teenage pregnancy prevention that improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of pregnancy prevention programs for adolescents or young adults, and/or reduce disparities, by age, gender, race/ethnicity, or setting. The research-to-practice translation centers will synthesize and translate existing research into practice for health promotion and development of positive assets that will lead to adoption of healthy behaviors and ultimately help to reduce teen pregnancy. The centers are expected to evaluate or assess the research, best practices, approaches, or strategies in a priority protective factor area and make that information easily accessible to health providers, caregivers and others working with youth to prevent teen pregnancy.
