“…With increasing age adolescents have more opportunities to experiment with alcohol because of their growing independence from their parents, and they spend an increased amount of time unsupervised outside the home (19,20). In addition, the association between both outcome measures and communication with the father largely decreases if age is added to the model, so the age-effect might be explained also by poorer quality of communication of adolescents with the father in particular when they grow older.…”

SUMMARYObjectives: Alcohol use is a relatively common behaviour, particularly among adolescents, and has become a major public health concern. This study explores the associations between family composition, the quality of adolescents' communication with parents and adolescents' recent frequent alcohol drinking and lifetime drunkenness.Methods: Data were obtained from the Slovak part of the 2005-2006 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study. The sample consisted of 3,882 students (46.3% males; mean age 13.3; ± 1.6). Data on drinking alcohol in the past week, lifetime drunkenness, communication and family composition were collected via anonymous questionnaires stratified for ages 11, 13 and 15 years and following the methodology of the HBSC study.Results: The results showed that living in an incomplete family increased the risk of frequent drinking and drunkenness among adolescents as well as a low quality of communication between mothers and their children. Risks were higher for drunkenness than for frequent alcohol use and strongly increased by age, with the communication with parents worsening at increasing age.Conclusions: Our findings show the importance of the quality of communication between parents and adolescents in preventing the hazardous alcohol use among adolescents. Preventive interventions to reduce adolescents' use of alcohol should therefore also target the quality of communication in the family.

“…Among African American children, suicide-related problems occur at a lower rate than among White children, but they are increasing. 14 Conversely, personal 15,16 and community strengths 17,18 protect minority children, which moderates the impact of these stressors and reduces the risk of requiring emergency services. The limited research available to date indicates that minority children are increasingly using emergency services, 19 but the evidence is mixed as to whether they are overrepresented.…”

Racial/Ethnic Minority Children’s Use of Psychiatric Emergency Care in California’s Public Mental Health System

et al. 2008

Objectives. We examined rates and intensity of crisis services use by race/ethnicity for 351174 children younger than 18 years who received specialty mental health care from California’s 57 county public mental health systems between July 1998 and June 2001. Methods. We used fixed-effects regression for a controlled assessment of racial/ethnic disparities in children’s use of hospital-based services for the most serious mental health crises (crisis stabilization services) and community-based services for other crises (crisis intervention services). Results. African American children were more likely than were White children to use both kinds of crisis care and made more visits to hospital-based crisis stabilization services after initial use. Asian American/Pacific Islander and American Indian/Alaska Native children were more likely than were White children to use hospital-based crisis stabilization services but, along with Latino children, made fewer hospital-based crisis stabilization visits after an initial visit. Conclusions. African American children used both kinds of crisis services more than did White children, and Asian Americans/Pacific Islander and American Indians/Alaska Native children visited only when they experienced the most disruptive and troubling kind of crises, and made nonrecurring visits.

ResumenLa finalidad del presente trabajo es analizar las relaciones existentes entre la competencia social y la inteligencia emocional en estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. Así mismo, también nos proponemos analizar el papel de la empatía y sus relaciones con la competencia social y la inteligencia emocional, ya que en la mayoría de los estudios existentes aparece relacionada de un modo u otro con estos constructos. Los participantes en nuestro estudio fueron 110 estudiantes de primer ciclo de ESO. Los instrumentos empleados fueron: el test EQ-i:yV de BarOn (1997), el Cuestionario Matson de habilidades sociales para adolescentes (Matson, Rotatori, y Helsel, 1983) y el Interpersonal Reactivity Index, IRI (Davis, 1983). Las técnicas de análisis de datos incluyen: análisis de correlación, análisis de regresión múltiple paso a paso y análisis de regresión múltiple de tipo jerárquico. Los resultados obtenidos nos permiten identificar un conjunto de variables que están directamente implicadas en la Competencia social. Palabras clave: Inteligencia emocional, Competencia social, Empatía. AbstractThe purpose of the present paper is to analyse the current connections between the social competence and the emotional intelligence in students of Secondary Obligatory Education. Likewise, we also propose to analyse the empathy's role and its connections with the social competence and the emotional intelligence,given that it appears related in most of the existing studies, in one way or another, to these constructs. The participants in our study were 110 students of the first period of Secondary Obligatory Education. The utilized means were: the test EQ-i:yV, by Baron (1997), the Questionnaire Matson of social abilities for adolescents (Matson, Rotatori, and Helsel, 1983) and Interpersonal Reactivity Index, IRI (Davis, 1983).The analysis of information's techniques include: correlation analysis, analyse of multiple regression step by step and analyse of multiple regression of hierarchical type. The obtained results allow us to identify a group of variables that are directly involved in the social competence.
