“…Temperament score at age one is significantly correlated with externalizing behavior at age five among FFCWS participants [27]. Consistent with previous FFCWS analyses using this temperament scale [27][28][29], factor analysis indicated that the three items represented a single factor, with moderate internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.60). We summed standardized factor loadings for each of the items to generate a weighted score for temperament with a mean of zero and a standard deviation of approximately one.…”

Introduction: Housing insecurity is increasingly commonplace among disadvantaged women and children. We measured the individual- and population-level impact of severe housing insecurity during pregnancy on adverse birth and infant outcomes. Methods: We analyzed data from 3428 mother–infant dyads enrolled in the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a prospective cohort study representing births in 20 large U.S. cities from 1998 to 2000. Severe housing insecurity was defined as threatened eviction or homelessness during pregnancy. Outcomes included low birth weight and/or preterm birth, admission to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or stepdown facility, extended hospitalization after delivery, and infant health and temperament. We estimated exposure–outcome associations with risk ratios adjusted for pre-pregnancy maternal sociodemographic and heath factors and calculated a population attributable fraction (PAF) of outcomes attributable to severe housing insecurity. Results: We found statistically significant associations between severe housing insecurity during pregnancy and low birth weight and/or preterm birth (risk ratio (RR] 1.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.28, 2.32), NICU or stepdown stay (RR 1.64, CI 1.17, 2.31), and extended hospitalization (RR 1.66, CI 1.28, 2.16). Associations between housing insecurity and infant fair or poor health (RR 2.62, CI 0.91, 7.48) and poor temperament (RR 1.52, CI 0.98, 2.34) were not statistically significant. PAF estimates ranged from 0.9–2.7%, suggesting that up to three percent of adverse birth and infant outcomes could be avoided by eliminating severe housing insecurity among low-income, pregnant women in US cities. Conclusions: Results suggest that housing insecurity during pregnancy shapes neonatal and infant health in disadvantaged urban families.

“…The use of person‐centered analyses in cross‐sectional and longitudinal studies also helped advance the understanding of patterned variation among families (e.g., Oxford & Lee, ; Pratt, McClelland, Swanson, & Lipscomb, ; Withers, McWey, & Lucier‐Greer, ; Yan & Ansari, ). Although selection effects continued to be underexamined, some studies were sensitive to these possible explanatory characteristics in change predictions (e.g., Blake Berryhill, Soloski, Durtschi, & Reyes Adams, ; Chang et al, ; Mustillo et al, ; Zvara et al, ). Parent and youth gender received attention during the past decade and increased the specificity of some findings during the past decade, but theories and models that integrated gender similarities and differences in family processes were limited.…”

The primary purpose of this review was to examine theory and research published during the past decade that focused on family processes and children's and adolescents' well‐being. Scholarship focused on family processes and child and adolescent well‐being made significant and exciting advances during this decade based on several key advancements. In addition to a brief introduction and a conclusion, this decade in review is organized into four sections. In the first section, advances made in the literature because of increased attention to complexity and specificity are illustrated. The second section describes advances that were made because of increased attention to family processes in diverse families. Diversity in the samples of families studied, extensions in family process models, and the revisioning of grand theories using a diversity lens that were used to conceptualize family processes are detailed. In the third section, the importance of time in the study of family processes and child and adolescent well‐being is described. The emphasis on families' daily lives is noted. In addition, prospective considerations and studies of change over time are highlighted. Strengths in family functioning are detailed in the fourth section of this article: positivity, regulatory processes, and family organization. These three areas were selected to elaborate the idea that one of the major advancements in the family process literature during the past decade was an emphasis on family strengths. This review concludes with a commentary regarding how conceptual and methodological advancements during the past decade can guide future scholarship.

“…Second, fathers' supportive coparenting significantly buffered the effects of mothers' parental stress on relationship quality, but parental stress was not predictive of either parent's relationship quality (Durtschi et al, ). Finally, mothers' and fathers' parenting stress was related to lower levels of couples' relationship quality 2 years later (Berryhill, Soloski, Durtschi, & Adams, ). Additional research on the transition to parenthood and parents who have children with disabilities and health problems (mental and physical) gives credence to the negative association between parenting stress and couples' relationship quality (Gupta, ; Quittner, Glueckauf, & Jackson, ; Schulz, Cowan, & Cowan, ).…”

This study examined the longitudinal and bidirectional association between parenting stress and relationship quality, and whether the associations differed between married and cohabiting couples, using cross‐lagged panel models (CLPM) and random‐intercept cross‐lagged panel models (RI‐CLPM). Using data from the Fragile Families and Child Well‐being Study, the findings indicated that the RI‐CLPM model provided a better fit to the data compared to the CLPM model for mothers and fathers. The RI‐CLPM results showed high levels of stability in parenting stress and relationship quality over time, that parenting stress was associated with higher levels of relationship quality for both parents, and that the between‐person effect was similar for married and cohabiting couples. This study highlighted the importance of accounting for between‐ and within‐person variability.
