“…More EMC is thus associated with more FTF interactions. As a consequence, their own substance use likely increases, given the well-established fact that adolescents often engage in substance use in the presence of peers and the fact that peer substance use predicts adolescents own substance use (e.g., Branstetter et al 2011;Chassin et al 2009;Duncan et al 2006;Rai et al 2003). However, the associations between EMC and adolescent substance use should not be interpreted as solely a result of frequent FTF interactions.…”

“…Behaviorally based theories of influence suggest that adolescents emulate the behaviors of their friends following friends' social reinforcements (Piehler 2011;Prinstein and Dodge 2008). In line with this, it is well established that hanging out with friends is related to adolescent substance use (Branstetter et al 2011;Chassin et al 2009;Duncan et al 2006;Rai et al 2003). Frequent FTF interactions with friends in the evening in particular were strongly associated with various forms of substance use (Kuntsche et al 2009a).…”

“…Parenting practices include parental communication, parental monitoring as well as parental knowledge, which some have argued form part of parental monitoring activities [7,11]. Positive parenting practices, such as communication and monitoring, are shown to delay risk behaviour in youth not yet exposed to risk behaviour, control the behaviour of youth experienced in risk behaviour, and promotes optimal youth development [12][13][14]. …”

Aim:The aim of the systematic study was to determine the effect of parenting practices on adolescent risk behaviours such as substance use and sexual risk behaviour.Method: Quantitative research studies were systematically collected from various databases such as Academic Search Complete, MEDLINE (Pubmed), JSTOR, Project Muse and SAGE for the duration of 2003-2013 which was within the 10 year period of relevant literature to the date of study.Results: Findings established that parental monitoring and communication prevented drug initiation, delayed alcohol initiation, and sexual debut, increased alcohol refusal efficacy, and decreased delinquent behaviour and risk taking behaviours in high risk adolescents. Conclusion:This review shows that parental practices play significant protective and promotive roles in managing adolescent risk behaviours.

“…Studies have consistently found that the general quality of the parent-adolescent relationship and parental monitoring are related to increased sexual health communication, 16,17 which in turn decreases risky sexual decisionmaking. 7,8,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Neither of the two direct monitoring scales was related to communication. It may be that direct monitoring plays a more important role for behaviors in which direct supervision may have a direct impact on the behavior, such as the age of sexual initiation 13 or the use of hormonal contraception.…”

Study Objective-Topical microbicides, a female-initiated method to protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy, will only be effective if found acceptable. Mothers may have an influence on acceptability and use among adolescent girls. The current study examined the communication between girls and mothers to understand the potential predictors and nature of conversations regarding surrogate microbicide products.Design-Sexually experienced girls, 14 to 21 years, were recruited for a 6-month study examining microbicide acceptability. During face-to-face interviews, qualitative data were collected regarding communication between girls and mothers. Two independent raters coded the responses, which were organized into themes. Themes were interpreted according to the conceptual understanding of mother-daughter communication.Results-Fifty percent of the 171 girls with codable responses had a conversation with their mother. Higher levels of indirect parental monitoring were related to being more likely to have a conversation. Concrete events related to the study (i.e. receiving phone call from the researcher, having an appointment, or seeing the product) or inquiries by mothers appeared to promote conversation. Barriers to conversation included the private nature of the information and relationship issues between the mother and daughter. Conversations often addressed issues related to girls' participation in the study, although some conversations included global issues related to sexuality.Conclusions-Girls may talk to their mothers about new products for STI prevention, and such conversations may provide opportunities to promote use.
