Parent-Child Relations Clinical Trial
— MPOfficial title:
Parent-child Communication and Health-risk Behavior
Engaging in health-risk behaviors such as tobacco and alcohol use put youth at risk for health problems that may compromise their futures and are extremely costly to society. Positive parent-child communication, characterized by openness, satisfaction with the family, caring, and effective problem-solving, has been found to be protective against a youth's involvement in health-risk behaviors. To promote positive adult-youth communication, in earlier work we developed, tested, and found efficacious an intervention, Mission Possible: Parents and Kids Who Listen (MP). This study is designed to test the following hypotheses: (a) Adults and youth who participate in MP will demonstrate more positive communication when compared with adults who did not participate; (b) Youth who participate in MP will have a lower incidence of health-risk behavior when compared with youth who did not participate; and (c) Positive adult-youth communication will mediate childhood health-risk behavior in the presence of risk processes that predict participation. The experimental design is a 2-group (intervention and comparison) pre-test repeated measures design with six waves of data collection over three years and two booster sessions of the intervention. Elementary school and community centers in Madison and Chicago served as recruitment sites for parent-child dyads.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Youth Health Risk Behavior | Measured with the 22-item Children's Health Risk Behavior Scale (CHRBS). This instrument, based on the conceptual categories of the Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance Survey, assesses potential for unintentional and intentional injury or violence, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual curiosity, and health practices. | 3 years | No |
Secondary | Openness of Communication | The Parent Adolescent Communication Inventory (Olson, 1983) is a 20-item, 2-subscale (open or problem communication) self-report instrument with a youth version and an adult version, the difference being the target of the item - mother/father or youth. Scores are computed for adult communication, youth-mother communication, youth-father communication. | 3 years | No |
Secondary | Family Satisfaction | The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale III is a 20-item, self-report instrument (Olson, 1994) to measure family satisfaction. Participants answer the items twice, first to assess current and then to assess ideal family system conditions. The difference between ideal and perceived conditions yields a family satisfaction score. | 3 years | No |
Secondary | Problem-Solving Skill | 50% of the dyads were randomly selected for assessment of problem solving ability. The procedure was to (a) identify a problem for discussion from the Issues Checklist (IC), (b) videotape the dyad attempting to solve the problem identified, and (c) code the videotaped interaction using the Iowa Family Interaction Rating Scales (IFIRS). The IFIRS is a macro-level observational coding system that was initially developed in 1989 and has undergone 5 revisions. Scales used to assess three aspects of family interaction were: (a) individual behavioral characteristics or each person's generalized interaction consisting of 8 items, e.g., use of humor, mood, whining and complaining; (b) dyadic behavioral characteristics or the nature of behavior exchanged from one family member to another consisting of 22 items, e.g., hostility, warmth/support; and (c) the family problem-solving process consisting of 10 items, e.g., solution quality, family enjoyment. | 3 years | No |
