“…(), we found that younger maternal age and lower SES (age 14 only) were linked to parent‐only report of clinical behaviour. This may reflect SES differences in what behaviour is considered appropriate or may reflect differences in social capital in disadvantaged families where parenting knowledge, parent–child communication, and time spent with children may influence parent ratings (Roubinov & Boyce, ). Finally, in older adolescents only, poor family functioning predicted parent‐only report of problems (unadjusted), concordant with studies showing higher family distress, poor parent–child relationships, and parental disinterest predict discrepancy (Ferdinand et al ., ; Treutler & Epkins, ; Van Roy et al ., ).…”

Adolescent and parent reports of adolescent mental health problems often correlate poorly, and understanding this discrepancy has clinical importance. Yet contextual factors have only been inconsistently explained. At the 14-and 17-year follow-ups of the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study, 1,596 parent-child dyads completed the parent-reported Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) and the adolescent-rated Youth Self-Report (YSR). Maternal, family, adolescent, and parent factors were examined as potential predictors of discrepancies. When adolescent YSR scores were in the clinical range but parents' CBCL ratings were not, adolescents were more likely to report alcohol intoxication in the last 6 months, illicit drug use, low school motivation, and depression. When parents reported externalizing behaviour in the clinical range but adolescents did not, the characteristics associated with this were a younger maternal age, receiving social security benefit, stress related to parenting, depression, and poor family functioning. These new results will inform clinical management and research with adolescents who present with behavioural disorders. Statement of contributionWhat is already known on this subject?We know that adolescent and parent reports of adolescent mental health problems often correlate poorly, but little is known about which contextual factors lead to disagreement.

“…Parents’ abilities to adapt their practices to the adolescents’ characteristics and changing developmental needs may also be reduced by their exposure to both current and past stressful events 49 , to stress created by economic disadvantage 50 , and to the demands experienced by single parents 51 . Parent’s own exposure to early contextual adversity 52 , may effectively undermine their ability to serve as an adolescent’s caregiver 53 . In these contexts, adolescents may seek alternative adult caregivers or adopt early reproductive strategies as a way of transitioning into adult roles.…”

Changes in adolescents’ motivations and capabilities pose unique challenges to parents who play a continuing role in ensuring the youth’s safety and well-being. We describe sensitively attuned parenting as an optimal response to this challenge and summarize practices of positive engagement, supervision/guidance and open communication that support sensitive attunement and facilitate the continuing development of the adolescent’s self-confidence, autonomous decision-making, and communication skills. We then consider factors that require parents to adapt their practices to the particular needs and developmental level of the adolescent. Individual differences that may challenge parent’s effectiveness in implementing these practices include: biological vulnerabilities, differential sensitivity to parenting, relationship history and temperament. Clinical interventions that seek to improve parenting offer an opportunity to test sensitive attunement as a mechanism for reducing adolescents’ symptoms and problem behaviors.

“…Whilst research has been predominantly concerned with individual and family influences, parenting and children's social and emotional health are also impacted by neighbourhood factors. Neighbourhood poverty can impede the quality of parenting . Issues that stem from living in a highly deprived neighbourhood include increased stress and higher numbers of lone parent households with subsequent pressures on parental time .…”

Objective Evidence for early intervention and prevention‐based approaches for improving social and emotional health in young children is robust. However, rates of participation in programmes are low. We explored the dynamics which affect levels of community readiness to address the issues of social and emotional health for pregnant women, young children (0‐4 years) and their mothers. Setting A deprived inner‐city housing estate in the north of England. The estate falls within the catchment area of a project that has been awarded long‐term funding to address social and emotional health during pregnancy and early childhood. Methods We interviewed key respondents using the Community Readiness Model. This approach applies a mixed methodology, incorporating readiness scores and qualitative data. A mean community readiness score was calculated enabling the placement of the community in one of nine possible stages of readiness. Interview transcripts were analysed using a qualitative framework approach to generate contextual information to augment the numerical scores. Results An overall score consistent with vague awareness was achieved, indicating a low level of community readiness for social and emotional health interventions. This score suggests that there will be a low likelihood of participation in programmes that address these issues. Conclusion Gauging community readiness offers a way of predicting how willing and prepared a community is to address an issue. Modifying implementation plans so that they first address community readiness may improve participation rates.
