“…Participants in this study included a subsample of mother-child dyads (N ¼ 70) drawn from the Notre Dame Adolescent Parenting Project, a longitudinal study following, first-time adolescent mothers and their children from the last trimester of pregnancy through children's adolescence (Borkowski et al, 2007;Sommer et al, 1993;Whitman et al, 2001). Teenage mothers were recruited from school-age mothers programs, hospital clinics, and social service agencies in South Bend, IN or Aiken, SC.…”

Intergenerational Continuity of Child Abuse Among Adolescent Mothers

Among the negative sequelae of child maltreatment is increased risk for continuity of maltreatment into subsequent generations. Despite acknowledgment in the literature that the pathways toward breaking the cycle of maltreatment are likely the result of dynamic interactions of risk and protective factors across multiple ecological levels, few studies have followed high-risk samples of maltreated and nonmaltreated parents over time to evaluate such processes. In the current investigation, exposure to community violence and authoritarian parenting attitudes were evaluated as predictors of the intergenerational continuity of abuse, and the moderating effect of African American race was examined. The sample included 70 mothers and their 18-yearold children, who have been followed longitudinally since the third trimester of the adolescent mothers' pregnancy. Results revealed that among mothers with a child abuse history, higher exposure to community violence and lower authoritarian parenting attitudes were associated with increased risk for intergenerational continuity of abuse. The relation of authoritarian parenting attitudes to intergenerational continuity was moderated by race; the protective effects of authoritarian parenting were limited to the African American families only. The salience of multiple ecological levels in interrupting the intergenerational continuity of child abuse is discussed, and implications for preventive programs are highlighted.

“…For example, maternal 'cognitive readiness' for parenting (defined as knowledge of child development, parenting style preferences and parenting attitudes) has been found to directly impact a child's tendency to have behavioural problems (43). Despite this, it has been suggested that maternal age and education level may not directly cause children's behavioural problems, as the disadvantage of children born to younger mothers has been shown to be reduced when the effects of maternal family background are controlled (44). Although measures of maternal family background were not explicitly collected in this study, the association between young maternal age and limited education on preschool behavioural difficulties remained, after controlling for a number of factors related to family socio-demography.…”

Despite the wealth of literature examining long term outcomes of preterm low birthweight children, few studies have directly assessed the developmental impact of being born full term but small for gestational age (SGA). We aim to determine whether (i) being SGA increases preschool behavioural problems and (ii) other risk factors operate differently in SGA and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) controls. 550 New Zealand European mothers and their 3.5 year old children participated in this study. All children were born at full term (> 37 weeks' gestation) and approximately half were SGA (≤ sex specific 10 th percentile for gestation) the remainder were AGA controls. Extensive data were collected at the child's birth, 1 year and 3.5 years. Behavioural problems were measured when children were 3.5 years, using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Multiple regression analyses were used to examine the associations between risk factors and behavioural problems; statistical weighting was used for analyses of the total study group. There was no significant difference in behavioural problems between SGA and AGA groups. In the total sample the significant predictors of behavioural problems included: mothers' school leaving age; smoking during pregnancy; maternal alcohol use during pregnancy; and absence of the father.Predictors of behavioural problems were found to be the same for SGA and AGA groups.These results do not support the view that SGA is a risk for behavioural preschool difficulties or that SGA children are sensitized to risks known to be associated with such difficulties in the preschool years.

“…Elles ont aussi un réseau social plus limité (Buchholz et KornBursztyn, 1993). Or, certaines études contrôlées statistiquement pour le statut socioéconomique, ont montré qu'il n'y avait pas de différences sur le plan parental entre les mères adolescentes et les mères adultes (Garcia Coll et al, 1987 ;Sommer et al, 1993). Par contre, d'autres études utilisant des groupes comparables sur le plan socioéconomique ont rapporté des différences entre les deux groupes de mères, mais moindres que ce qui était attendu (Benasich et Brooks-Gunn, 1996 ;Chase-Lansdale et al, 1994 ;Wakschlag et al, 1996).…”

Dans cet article, les auteurs s’interrogent sur la cooccurrence des différentes formes de maltraitance subie par les mères adolescentes durant leur enfance, dans le but de mieux comprendre la transmission intergénérationnelle de la maltraitance. Ils soulignent que les études sur la maltraitance subie par des adultes ou des adolescents durant leur enfance ne tiennent généralement pas compte de la cooccurrence des différentes formes de maltraitance. Les auteurs vérifient dans un premier temps, si les mères adolescentes se distinguent des femmes de la population générale pour la prévalence et la cooccurrence des différentes formes de maltraitance subie durant leur propre développement. Ils établissent ensuite la prévalence et la cooccurrence des formes de maltraitance en fonction des diagnostics de dépression majeure et du trouble de la conduite chez les mères adolescentes.In this article, the authors reflect on co-occurrence of different types of maltreatment that adolescent mothers have suffered during their childhood in order to better understand intergenerational transmission of maltreatment. They underline that studies on maltreatment that adults or adolescents have been subjected to during their childhood generally do not take into account co-occurrence of different types of maltreatment. The authors first attempt to verify if adolescent mothers are different from women of the general population in regards to prevalence and co-occurrence of various types of maltreatment suffered during their own development. They then try to establish prevalence and co-occurrence of types of maltreatment in relation to diagnoses of major depression or conduct disorder in adolescent mothers.Con el propósito de comprender mejor la transmisión intergeneracional del maltrato, en este artículo los autores se interrogan acerca de la co-ocurrencia de las diferentes formas de maltrato sufridas por las madres adolescentes durante su infancia. Resaltan que los estudios sobre el maltrato sufrido por los adultos o adolescentes durante su infancia generalmente no tienen en cuenta la co-ocurrencia de las diferentes formas de maltrato. En una primera etapa, los autores verifican si las madres adolescentes se distinguen de las mujeres de la población general en la prevalencia y la co-ocurrencia de las diferentes formas de maltrato sufrido durante su propio desarrollo. Enseguida establecen la prevalencia y co-ocurrencia de las formas de maltrato en función de los diagnósticos de depresión mayor y el trastorno de la conducta en las madres adolescentes.Neste artigo, os autores questionam a concomitância das diferentes formas de maus-tratos sofridos pelas mães adolescentes durante a infância, com o objetivo de melhor compreender a transmissão intergeracional dos maus-tratos. Eles ressaltam que os estudos sobre os maus-tratos recebidos pelos adultos ou pelos adolescentes durante a infância geralmente não levam em consideração a concomitância das diferentes formas de maus-tratos. Os autores verificam, em um primeiro momento, se as mães adolescentes...
