“…In terms of general aspirations, however, girls may report greater understanding of the requirements to attain future goals than boys (Hill et al, 2003). In contrast to these findings, others document no evidence of youth sex differences in expectations or aspirations for the future (McCabe & Barnett, 2000;Newton & Sandoval, 2015). This study expands on prior research by asking whether parenting and neighborhood qualities have different implications for future orientations of girls versus boys.…”

“…Prior research has mainly focused on the implications of parenting for youth educational aspirations and career goals. This work suggests that parental expectations for educational attainment are related to higher educational aspirations among youth (Byun et al, 2012;Newton & Sandoval, 2015). In addition, parental involvement in youth's schooling has a positive effect on youth's educational aspirations (Garg et al, 2002;Hill et al, 2004;Nichols et al, 2010;Paat, 2017).…”

Positive orientations toward the future have been shown to promote youth wellbeing, especially for those living in poor and urban neighborhoods. However, the family and neighborhood factors that contribute to future orientations during adolescence are poorly understood. Drawing on data from 1165 urban adolescents (M = 15.22, SD = 1.58 years old) who participated in the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN), this study uses multilevel modeling to (1) examine parenting qualities (parent involvement, parent-adolescent relationship quality) and neighborhood disadvantage in relation to youth future orientations; (2) test whether these associations differ for mothers and fathers, and sons and daughters; and (3) test whether parenting qualities are protective for future orientations among youth in disadvantaged neighborhoods. The findings were generally consistent with hypotheses in that mothers' and fathers' parenting were related to higher levels of future orientations, and neighborhood concentrated poverty was related to lower future orientations. Parental involvement benefited girls' future orientations whereas relationship quality was more salient for boys. Parenting involvement and relationship quality moderated associations between neighborhood disadvantage and future orientations in somewhat different directions. Discussion centers on the implications of family and neighborhood contexts for future orientations of urban youth and directs attention to nuances in parenting dimensions and their significance for boys and girls.

“…As a result, many navigate social inequities and exclusions that place them at greater risk for HIV (e.g., poverty, limited access to quality healthcare, psychosocial stress) [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Presently, Black and Latino youth in the U.S. are more likely to report living in lower socioeconomic communities [ 18 ], lower rates of educational attainment [ 19 , 20 ], and limited access to quality healthcare, including for sexual and reproductive health [ 21 ]. Collectively, these factors place Black and Latino youth at heightened vulnerability to HIV [ 15 , 17 ].…”

Sexual health communication warrants greater attention as it may help to reduce the rates of HIV incidence among youth. A growing body of literature suggests that conversations about sexual health among Black and Latino youth may serve as a potential strategy for HIV prevention. The current study investigates whether sexual health communication—in particular, conversations about sexual health and HIV—influences Black and Latino youth’s personal agency regarding their role in achieving an HIV-free generation. For this secondary data analysis, we used the National Survey of Teens and Young Adults on attitudes towards HIV/AIDS (n = 701). Participants included youth between the ages 15 and 24, and the average was 20 years. We used a multiple regression analysis to examine whether sexual health communication contributed to youth knowledge and awareness of (1) the national plan for EHE, and (2) their role in ending the epidemic”. (1) knowledge and awareness of the national plan for EHE, and (2) role in ending the epidemic. The final multiple regression model was statistically significant [R2 = 0.16 F (12, 701) = 001, p < 0.001] for both outcomes. Study results found that sexual health communication was positively related to Black and Latino youth’s awareness of efforts to end the HIV epidemic (EHE) and their belief that they could play a role in achieving EHE. In addition, HIV stigma influenced personal agency and whether youth were aware of efforts to achieve EHE. Our results demonstrated that openly communicating about sexual health and HIV may contribute to a sense of personal agency among Black and Latino youth. In addition, understanding whether sexual health communication contributes to a sense of personal agency among youth may inform HIV prevention efforts to achieve the goals set forth by the national EHE plan for the U.S.

“…The decision to attend college has been described as being influenced by a wide variety of interactions and experiences. Participation in high school activities, for example, has been noted for broadening student thinking and helping the student understand or appreciate the idea of further education (Newton, & Oné simo Sandoval, 2015). This involvement leading to an openness of thinking also includes participation in high school sports (Braddock & Hua, 2006), as well as the academic-focus of the student"s high school (Kim, Chatterjee, Young, & Moon, 2017).…”

Higher education has made progress in the enrollment of under-represented minorities, yet very notably, African American men continue to enroll in college at very low rates. The current study explores the factors that lead to the college enrollment of African American men, using the lived experiences of 8 undergraduates at mid-western universities. The study findings are consistent with the emerging theory of Community Expectancy, suggesting that many informal factors play important roles in encouraging the academic performance and ultimately the college enrollment of African American men.
