Parenting
Capacities and Health Outcomes in Youths and Adolescents (R01)
WHAT: Purpose. This program announcement solicits research
applications
aimed at increasing the parenting skills and capacities of
parents and
caregivers to improve the health outcomes of their young and
adolescent
children. This is important because childhood, and
particularly
adolescence, is a time for the development of health habits
that can
last a lifetime. Moreover, adolescence is a transitional
period during
which experimentation and high-risk health behaviors may be
displayed.
The long-term consequences of health habits and behaviors
often become
manifest in young adulthood and adulthood. Against this
backdrop, it is
well documented that the probability of children and
adolescents
acquiring non-optimal health behaviors and developmental
problems
increases significantly when their adult caregivers exhibit
ineffective
parenting skills and practices. Thus, interventions to
increase
parenting skills and capacities and reduce high-risk behaviors
should
involve both parents and their children. Interventions
targeting two or
more risk factors that indicate ineffective parenting
practices (e.g.,
lack of appropriate parental monitoring, supervision, and
communication,
high family conflict and disorganization, parental stress and
depression, lack of parent-child bonding and negative
discipline
methods) that simultaneously focus on multiple high-risk
adolescent
health behaviors (e.g., unhealthy dietary behaviors,
inadequate physical
activity, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual
behaviors, and
unintentional (e.g., accidents) and intentional behaviors
(e.g., firearm
related injuries), are fundamental to this initiative.
Interventions
that target the reduction of a broad range of family risk
factors and
simultaneously build upon protective factors are highly
encouraged.
Parents and similarly situated caregivers of children 10-to-18
years of
age are the targets of this initiative.
WHO: Faith-based and community organizations are eligible to
apply.
