Adolescent Behavior Clinical Trial
Official title:
Adjustment of Adopted Adolescents in Their Families
The adjustment of adopted adolescents has been studied in the U.S. and England, but few other European countries have conducted research into this topic. As countries differ greatly in their cultural practices, a comparative study of the adjustment of internationally adopted teenagers in 4 European countries (France, Italy, Spain, Norway) is planned. The adjustment of teens and their families will be studied in relation to the openness of communication related to adoption within the families.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the status of internationally adopted adolescents in
relation to the characteristics of their families, and to explore the similarities and
differences in 4 different European countries. Parents and adolescents will complete
questionnaires which incorporate and adapt many standard measures. The parent questionnaire
includes components of : a) Family Adjustment and Cohesion Scale (FACES), b) Strengths and
Difficulties Questionnaire for parents (SDQ-parent), c) Parent Stress Index (PSI), d)
Adoption Satisfaction Questionnaire (ASQ), d) Brodzinsky Scale (openness in family
communication related to adoption), and e) basic demographic information.
The adolescent questionnaire includes elements of : a) SDQ-adolescent, b) Health Behavior in
School Children questionnaire (HBSC), c) Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), d) Lee Scale
(Discrimination Scale for Adoptees).
It is hoped that the study will permit a better understanding of the experiences of families
and their children after international adoption. This knowledge will help potential adoptive
families as well as families who have already adopted. This information is not yet available
in a European context. In addition, the information will be valuable to adoption
professionals. Moreover, the opportunity to compare outcomes and experiences of families and
adolescents in 4 European countries will allow a better understanding of the contribution of
different cultural contexts to these outcomes. It is hypothesized that different cultural
practices and beliefs about adoption likely impact the experience of adoption by adolescents
and parents. A better understanding of this dynamic will be useful clinically as well as at
the community level and beyond.
