Study Finds Fatherhood Rewires Dads’ Brains to Boost Empathy

To learn more about plasticity in new dads’ brains, research groups at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and the Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria Gregorio Marañón in Madrid, studied fathers in two countries, and put each into an MRI scanner twice: first during their partner’s pregnancy, and again after their baby was six months old. In both the Spanish and Californian samples, fathers’ brain changes appeared in regions of the cortex that contribute to visual processing, attention and empathy toward the baby.

Language Development in Infancy Is Differently Influenced by Mothers And Fathers

Austrian researchers who study language development in infancy worked with 100 mother-father-child families, separately observing how the mother and father read the same book to their toddlers. Well-educated mothers and fathers influence language development in their young toddlers (1 to 2 years old) differently, even though they read to the children in broadly similar ways.

Their Mothers Were Teenagers. They Didn't Want That for Themselves

Teen pregnancies have plummeted, as has child poverty. The result is a profound change in the forces that bring opportunity between generations.

(Ed. Note: Thanks to good work of our clients and other organizations like yours, the conversation around relationships, sex, and pregnancy is changing)

Teens and Cyberbullying 2022

Nearly half of U.S. teens have been bullied or harassed online. The most commonly reported behavior is name-calling, with 32% of teens saying they have been called an offensive name online or on their cellphone. Physical appearance is seen as a relatively common reason for bullying. Older teen girls are especially likely to report being targeted by online abuse overall and because of their appearance.

Teen Brains Aged Faster Than Normal from Pandemic Stress

The stress of pandemic lockdowns prematurely aged the brains of teenagers by at least three years and in ways similar to changes observed in children who have faced chronic stress and adversity, a new study found.

TOOLS YOU CAN USE

The Science of Synchronized Movement

When was the last time you moved in sync with someone else? Dancing, exercising, even just walking in step — for some it comes easily, for others, it’s a challenge. But can moving to the same beat make all of us more kind to one another? This week, our guest Chris Duffy steps out of his comfort zone to try a practice in Body Music, rhythmically making sounds just by tapping your body, with body percussionist Keith Terry.

Advancing Equity in Adolescent Health through Evidence-Based Teen Pregnancy Prevention

Estimated Post Date: 2023

The Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program is a national, evidence-based program that funds diverse organizations working to reach adolescents to improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes and promote positive youth development. The Office of Population Affairs (OPA) anticipates FY2023 funds being available to support cooperative agreements for organizations to advance health equity for adolescents, their family, and communities through the replication and scaling of medically accurate and age appropriate evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention 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 serve communities and populations with the greatest needs and facing significant disparities to advance equity in adolescent health through the replication of evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs and services.

Teen Pregnancy Prevention Tier 2 Rigorous Evaluation Cooperative Agreements

Estimated Post Date: 2023

The purpose of the TPP Tier 2 Rigorous Evaluation Cooperative Agreements is to fund rigorous impact and implementation evaluation of promising approaches for preventing teen pregnancy and related risk behaviors. Through the awards, OPA aims to address the changing needs of youth and communities by increasing the number of programs available that are proven to reduce teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and behavioral risk factors underlying teen pregnancy, and to disseminate those interventions that demonstrate effectiveness. OPA is especially interested in funding rigorous evaluations of promising interventions in populations and settings with great need and those that demonstrate significant health disparities, such as, but not limited to, interventions in juvenile justice or foster care/child welfare settings, with expectant and parenting youth, youth with disabilities, with homeless youth, or for caregivers.
