“…For example, recent data have found a significant reduction in non-medical POA use in the general Ontario adult population, which may be related to recent reductions in overall POA availability [54]. At the same time, we note the observed key changes in POA dispensing levels occurred prior to the launch of a Canadian ‘National Prescription Drug Use Strategy’ – a package of recommendations and measures aimed at the prevention, surveillance, treatment and enforcement of POA-related problems assembled by various governmental agencies and non-governmental stakeholders – in 2013 [55].…”

BackgroundPrescription opioid analgesic (POA) utilization has steeply increased globally, yet is far higher in established market economies than elsewhere. Canada features the world’s second-highest POA consumption rates. Following increases in POA-related harm, several POA control interventions have been implemented since 2010.MethodsWe examined trends and patterns in POA dispensing in Canada by province for 2005–2012, including a focus on the potential effects of interventions. Data on annual dispensing of individual POA formulations – categorized into ‘weak opioids’ and ‘strong opioids’ – from a representative sub-sample of 5,700 retail pharmacies across Canada (from IMS Brogan’s Compuscript) were converted into Defined Daily Doses (DDD), and examined intra- and inter-provincially as well as for Canada (total).ResultsTotal POA dispensing – driven by strong opioids – increased across Canada until 2011; four provinces indicated decreases in strong opioid dispensing; seven provinces indicated decreases specifically in oxycodone dispensing, 2011–2012. The dispensing ratio weak/strong opioids decreased substantively. Major inter-provincial differences in POA dispensing levels and qualitative patterns of POA formulations dispensed persisted. Previous increasing trends in POA dispensing were reversed in select provinces 2011–2012, coinciding with POA-related interventions.ConclusionsFurther examinations regarding the sustained nature, drivers and consequences of the recent trend changes in POA dispensing – including possible ‘substitution effects’ for oxycodone reductions – are needed.

“…Therefore, Spanish-language discrepancies might be more consequential for the parent-child relationship than English-language discrepancies. Yet, Spanish-language proficiency and preference have not been widely examined in studies of parent-child cultural discrepancies; they mostly have used differences in English-language use as indicators of cultural discrepancies (e.g., Cox et al, 2013;Pasch et al, 2006).…”

“…Various types of parent-child acculturation gaps have been identified (for a review, see Telzer, 2011). The most common gaps occur when U.S.-reared children embrace the country's culture to a higher degree than the parents' heritage culture, while their parents adhere to their heritage culture to a higher degree than the U.S. culture (Bámaca-Colbert & Gayles, 2010;Cox, Zapata Roblyer, Merten, Shreffler, & Schwerdtfeger, 2013;Smokowski, Rose, & Bacallao, 2008 Although it is well established that Latino children tend to acculturate to the U.S. culture at a faster pace than their parents, a purported association between parent-child acculturation gaps and parent-child conflict among Latino families is still being debated (see Telzer, 2011). For example, using quantitative methods, Bámaca-Colbert, Umaña-Taylor, and Gayles (2012) found that mother-daughter acculturation gaps were associated with mother-daughter conflict among Mexican American middle adolescents, but not early adolescents.…”

ABSTRACT. The literature on Latino families in the United States rarely has identified specific topics of parent-child conflict among families headed by parents who are immigrants or the children of immigrants. We used 16 focus groups and thematic analysis to identify seven salient topics of parent-child conflict in these families: activities of daily life, materialism, apparel, dating and sexuality, friendships, education, and use of the Spanish language. Most conflicts had normative characteristics stemming from youth's expanding autonomy; however, parents mostly framed them in terms of cultural discrepancies. Results suggest that in some Latino families, parent-child conflict might be best understood in terms of parallel dual frames of reference, that is, the contrasting cultural frames of reference parents and children use to evaluate one another. Results suggest that family life education programs that foster knowledge of youth development among Latino parents of immigrant background, as well as interventions that help parents and children identify and bridge their dual frames of reference could benefit Latino families experiencing significant parent-child conflict.Keywords: Latino families, parent-child conflict, acculturation "Our Child is Not Like Us:" Understanding Parent-Child Conflict Among U.S. Latino FamiliesLow-to-moderate levels of parent-child conflict are common among North American families (Laursen, Coy, & Collins, 1998), including ethnic minorities (Chung, Flook, & Fuligni, 2009;Fuligni, 2012). Parent-child conflict may result from maturational processes as well as from youth's violations of parental and societal expectations (see review by Laursen & Collins, 2009). Acculturation perspectives on parent-child conflict also suggest that among families headed by parents who are immigrants or the adult children of immigrants (i.e., parents of immigrant background, PIB) the dynamics of cultural adaptation often lead to discrepant dual frames of reference (i.e., parallel dual frames of reference; Qin, 2006) and acculturation gaps (Szapocznik & Kurtines, 1993). Some research suggests that such cultural discrepancies might become sources of parent-child conflict (Bámaca-Colbert & Gayles, 2010;Cervantes, Fisher, Córdova, & Napper, 2012;Szapocznik & Kurtines, 1993). Parent-child conflict is relevant to family science because it shapes parent-child relationships, parenting practices, family dynamics, and developmental outcomes (Prado et al., 2010;Santisteban, Coatsworth, Briones, Kurtines, & Szapocznik, 2012).In the present study, we sought to delineate salient topics of parent-child conflict among Latino families, as identified by PIB. We focused on Latino PIB because 82% of all adults of immigrant background in the United States are of Latino origin: 47% are foreign-born and 35% are the children of immigrants (Pew Hispanic Center, 2013). Moreover, half of all Latino children in the United States live with at least one foreign-born parent (Fry & Passel, 2009 the development of life education programs a...

“…The acculturation gap hypothesis is complex as not all immigrant families are impacted by parent–youth cultural gaps in similar ways and acculturation gaps can have multiple manifestations (Cox, Zapata Roblyer, Merten, Shreffler, & Schwerdtfeger, 2013; Telzer, 2011). However, prevention studies also indicate that parenting interventions for Latino/a immigrant families with a focus on biculturalism can increase family cohesion, improve parenting practices, and reduce parent–youth conflict (Smokowski et al, 2009).…”

Latino/a populations in the United States are negatively impacted by widespread mental health disparities. Although the dissemination of culturally relevant parent training (PT) programs constitutes an alternative to address this problem, there is a limited number of efficacious culturally adapted PT prevention interventions for low-income Latino/a immigrant families with adolescents. The current manuscript describes the level of acceptability of a version of the GenerationPMTO intervention adapted for Latino/a immigrant families, with an explicit focus on immigration-related challenges, discrimination, and promotion of biculturalism. Qualitative reports were provided by 39 immigrant parents who successfully completed the prevention parenting program. The majority of these parents self-identified as Mexican-origin. According to qualitative findings, participants reported overall high satisfaction with immigration and culture-specific components. Parents also expressed high satisfaction with the core GenerationPMTO parenting components and provided specific recommendations for improving the intervention. Current findings indicate the need to adhere to the core components that account for the effectiveness of PT interventions. Equally important is to thoroughly adapt PT interventions according to the cultural values and experiences that are relevant to target populations, as well as to overtly address experiences of discrimination that negatively impact underserved Mexican-origin immigrant families. Due to the exploratory nature of this study, the efficacy and effectiveness of the adapted prevention intervention remains to be established in empirical research.
