THE LATEST

New CDC Report Highlights Youth Risk Behavior Challenges

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released the “Youth Risk Behavior Survey Data Summary & Trends Report: 2011-2021.” This report focuses on behaviors and experiences among U.S. high school students related to their mental health and well-being, including substance use, experiences of violence, and sexual behavior. The data show that the same youth behaviors and experiences that were moving in the wrong direction before the pandemic, such as poor mental health, continued to worsen.

Strong Adolescent-Parent Relationships Lead to Better Long-term Health Outcomes in Young Adults

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have found that adolescents who report strong relationships with their parents have better long-term health outcomes. Study findings, published today in JAMA Network Open, suggest that investments in improving parent–adolescent relationships could help improve general health, mental health and sexual health, while also reducing substance use in young adulthood.

Gen Z Couples Are “Shacking Up” at Record Rates

Gen Z is living together at record rates. According to Bloomberg, more than 11% of Americans are now living with a romantic partner they are not legally married to, a jump of over 650,000 people. Survey data from Realtor.com found that for most young couples, inflation and other financial concerns pushed them to move in together, as they could not afford rent by themselves and no longer wanted to live with a roommate or family members. Interestingly, 42 percent of people who moved in with a romantic partner said they ended up regretting the move.

How to Address Teen Dating Violence and Relationship Abuse

It's time to leverage awareness-building about the problem of teen dating violence to inspire action that we can take year-round to prevent and respond to adolescent relationship abuse. This article lists three steps you can take in that response.

Strategies to Support Co-facilitation in Classroom Sessions

Many READY4Life grantees funded by the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) to provide Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education (HMRE) to youth do so in high schools. Facilitating HMRE programming in schools presents unique challenges. HMRE facilitators often have limited influence over classroom norms, behavior rules, and the length of class periods. This brief provides tips and tools for supporting strong co-facilitation to deliver engaging HMRE sessions in school-based settings.

TikTok's Sex Tips Aren't an Education, Experts Warn

‘HealthTok’ is one of the fastest growing tags on the social media platform, accumulating 50 billion views on the #health hashtag and over 1.5 billion views on the topic of sexual health alone. And according to research published by Superdrug Online Doctor after surveying 2,000 case studies across the UK, 43% of Brits agreed they are getting more of their sexual health information from TikTok than from their primary and secondary classroom. But that does not mean that all of the information is accurate, because 59% of people also said they have seen untrue or misleading health information on TikTok.

TOOLS YOU CAN USE

Youth Mental Health Needs & Supports

Youth's mental health can directly affect their ability to learn and succeed in school and beyond, yet most with mental health concerns do not receive necessary care. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the crisis, with the U.S. Surgeon General issuing a General Advisory emphasizing the urgency of addressing this need. This brief describes data from the California Healthy Kids Survey Core & Mental Health Supports modules on the mental health needs of secondary students during the 2021-22 school year.

Teachers, Try This: Strengthen Students’ Emotional Intelligence in 1 Minute a Day

Mari Monroe is a high school teacher in San Diego, and also a yoga instructor. When she started to incorporate elements around mindfulness from her yoga practice into the classroom, she realized her students were eager for that type of instruction. Here, she explains how she teaches and incorporates mindfulness through daily lessons she’s dubbed the ‘Mindful Minute,’ and offers advice for teachers looking to do the same, regardless of their familiarity with the topic.

Tool To Help Remove Explicit Online Images of Youth

OJJDP’s National Center for Missing & Exploited Children(NCMEC) has launched a free online tool to support victims of online child sexual exploitation called Take It Down. This platform helps users remove online sexually explicit photos and videos taken of them while under 18 years old. The initiative includes a public service announcement, produced by NCMEC, that will appear on television and online platforms that youth frequently visit. Users may remain anonymous while using the service.

The Power of the Success Sequence

for Young Adults

From underperforming schools to unsafe neighborhoods, from institutional racism to other structural barriers, hindrances often stand in the way of financial success for young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds. Given these challenges, many young adults lose hope, thinking they have no way of changing their life trajectories.

However, there is a path that frequently leads to the “American Dream” and away from poverty. This path is called the “Success Sequence.” The sequence entails three steps: (1) getting at least a high-school degree, (2) working full-time, and (3) marrying before having children. Young adults who manage to follow the sequence – even in the face of challenges – are much more likely to forge a path to a better economic life.

Join Brad Wilcox and Wendy Wang as they discuss how poverty is basically nonexistent among young adults who followed all three steps according to their new analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth.

Objectives: Participants will be able to:

Recognize how education, work, and marriage put young adults on a path to success.
Understand the link between marrying before having children and economic success in life.
Describe how the Success Sequence works despite structural barriers.

Presenter: Brad Wilcox, Ph.D., University of Virginia, and Wendy R. Wang, Ph.D., Institute for Family Studies

Who should attend: Federal and state policy makers, researchers, healthy relationship and teen pregnancy prevention grantees, community-based organizations, mentoring programs, youth agency program managers, healthy relationship facilitators, and anyone working with youth.

When: Wednesday, April 12, 2023, 4:00pm Eastern/1:00pm Pacific
