Delinquent behavior, future divorce or nonmarital childbearing, and externalizing behavior among offspring: a 14-year prospective study

Article Abstract:

Problem behaviour during adolescence predicts externalizing behaviour among future offspring, according to research based on data on 1,204 mothers and children taken from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth - Child Sample. Delinquent behaviours as self-reported in 1980, when the future mothers were between 15 and 22 years old, were used to predict behaviour difficulties in 1994 among children born to the women and divorce or nonmarital childbearing between 1981 and 1993. Female adolescents placed in the upper quartile on delinquent activities in 1980 were much more likely than non-delinquent female adolescents to be never-married parents or to be divorced.

Family-based interventions for pediatric obesity: Methodological and conceptual challenges from family psychology

Article Abstract:

An estimated 31 family-based programs for pediatric obesity were identified, and almost all of these engaged parents in behavioral or cognitive-behavioral approaches to behavior management as a way to change children's eating and exercise habits. Only a minority of interventions incorporated a more general parent training component or emphasized general family functioning.
