“…Consequently, although API Americans make up one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in the United States, they remain one of the least studied. The same is also true of multiracial youth (Shakib et al 2003; Choi et al 2005 Choi et al , 2006. The numbers of multiracial children and adolescents have grown rapidly.…”

This study examines how substance use among adolescents is related to several risk and protective factors derived from two ecological contexts: the neighborhood and the family. It explicitly investigates how the relationships between substance use and the factors vary across different racial and ethnic groups. Findings suggest many common correlates and processes of substance use for adolescents, regardless of race or ethnicity, including that neighborhood safety is associated with substance use. There are also some racial and ethnic group differences in relationships, including that low attachment to and lack of social opportunities in neighborhoods more strongly predict substance use among whites than among other racial and ethnic groups and that family management decreases the relationship between neighborhood safety and substance use among African Americans. A better understanding of the associations among factors that influence substance use across racial and ethnic subgroups can help effectively target preventive interventions for different groups.Over the past 2 decades, numerous etiological studies have investigated the origins of and pathways to problem behaviors for youth. Such behaviors include substance use, aggressive and nonaggressive delinquent offenses, negative school behaviors, and risky sexual behaviors (e.g., Hawkins, Catalano, and Miller 1992; Hawkins et al. 2000). The studies identify several individual characteristics that predict problem behaviors. These studies also suggest that the developmental context of youth is a source of both risk and protection for such behaviors. Contexts typically include family, peers, school, and neighborhoods (Bogenschneider 1996). For example, neighborhood poverty, lack of neighborhood safety, and lack of social cohesion among neighbors are found to predict problems among youth (Brooks-Gunn et al. 1993;Sampson 1997;Hill and Herman-Stahl 2002). Factors related to the family context, including parenting strategies and youth's affective relationships with parents, also emerge as strong determinants of youth problems (Steinberg, Brown, and Dornbusch 1996;Huebner and Howell 2003). This article, while also considering other factors, focuses on how two of these contexts, neighborhood and family, predict substance use among youth.Individual, neighborhood, and family factors are known to predict problem behaviors, but it is not clear how these factors operate together to influence the development of problem and positive behaviors among youth (Furstenberg et al. 1998;Griffin et al. 1999;Duncan and Raudenbush 2001;Hill and Herman-Stahl 2002). Moreover, it is not clear how interrelationships among individual, family, and neighborhood factors vary across racial and NIH Public Access NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript ethnic groups in predicting youth problem behaviors (McLoyd et al. 2000).

“…In line with this theoretical framework, various studies have shown the associations between youth smoking and different family factors, such as parenting style and strategies (Wang, Krishnakumar, & Narine, 2014;Piko & Balazs, 2012), warmth and the quality of the parentchild relationship (Roy, 2009;Johnston & Thomas, 2008;Shakib et al, 2005;Miller & Volk, 2002), family structure and divorce (Kristjansson, Sigfusdottir, Allegrante, & Helgason, 2009;Griesbach, Amos, & Carrie, 2003;Miller & Volk, 2002), parents attitudes and reaction towards smoking (Kristjansson, Sigfusdottir, James, Allegrante, & Helgason, 2010;Yazici, 2008), parents and sibling smoking (Scherrer et al, 2012, Weiss & Garbanati, 2004Shakib et al, 2003;Miller & Volk, 2002;, and perceived family life (Yazici, 2008;Johnston & Thomas, 2008;Glendinning, Shucksmith, & Hendry, 1997).…”

Objective: Youth smoking has long been a major concern at individual, familial, and national levels. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the role of parent-child relationship in the smoking behavior and smoking intensity among college students. We also aimed to investigate gender-specific variations in the association between mother-child and father-child relationships and smoking behavior and its intensity among female and male college students. Methods:The sample consisted of college students (N=242: 142 smokers, 99 nonsmokers) who were selected using snowball sampling method among the students of Guilan University. Participants completed the parent-child relationship survey and Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence. Binary and multinomial logistic regressions were used for analyzing. Results:Results showed that mother-child relationship, but not father-child relationship, was the significant predictor of smoking status. Also, mother-child relationship could predict low to moderate levels of dependence on nicotine. Finally, among male students, mother-child relationship was the significant predictor of smoking. Neither mother-child nor father-child relationships were the significant predictors of smoking status among female students. Conclusion:Further research is needed to clear our understanding of gender-specific correlates of smoking among youth.

“…A growing number of studies have successfully demonstrated the viability of using the parent-child relationship as a vehicle for reducing sexual risk taking (Huang, 1999;Hutchinson et al, 2003), teenage pregnancy (Adolph, 1995), substance abuse (Carlson, Pappas, Werch, Watts, & Edgemon, 2000;Wood et al, 2004), smoking (Shakib et al, 2003), and poor nutrition (Luepker et al, 1996;Perry et al, 1988). This research has focused on the unidirectional flow of information and support from parent to child.…”

In this article we examine the potential influence of adolescent girls on mothers' health-related knowledge and behaviors. Surveys were conducted with 131 mothers and 145 daughters to explore the extent of shared social activities between mothers and their adolescent daughters in a low-income South African community, and the degree to which mothers are receptive to advice from daughters. Eighty-six percent of daughters reported that their mothers had asked them for advice, and 93% of mothers indicated that they would listen to health advice from their daughters. This analysis suggests that the mother-daughter relationship may be a potential asset for culturally viable, community-based health promotion.
