Abstract

Objective: This study was designed to examine the prospective relations of harsh parenting during preadolescence, anger across adolescence, and a health phenotype at late adolescence among African American youths living in the rural South.

Abundant research shows that childhood adversity increases the risk for adult psychopathology while research on influences of positive family environment on risk for psychopathology is limited.

The present study is a descriptive report of a comprehensive implementation support (CIS) service that was used to promote high levels of program fidelity in a going-to-scale intervention trial of the Early Risers conduct problems prevention program.

Purpose. To examine changes in parent-child communication related to sexual behavior after exposure to public health messages. Design. Randomized, controlled trial that was part of precampaign message testing. Setting.
