▼ Examining the process how the exposure of adolescents to destructive interparental conflicts influences their academic self-regulation; identifying the major causes of interparental conflicts and types of conflict tactics that parents of adolescents employed to resolve marital conflicts were the main purposes of this study. To investigate these problems, seven research questions were formulated. Data were collected form 421 students of Gion, Fasilo and Bahir Dar Preparatory schools and from 194 mothers of these students through questionnaire and semi-structured interview. Eighteen questionnaires from adolescents and 6 questionnaires from mothers were discarded through data screening processes. As a result, the main analysis was done based on 403 adolescents‟ (193 male and 210 female) and 188 mothers‟ questionnaire responses. Percentage, one sample t test, repeated sample t test, independent t test, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were employed to analyze the data collected through questionnaires and description was used to present the data collected through semi-structured interview. Thus, the percentage result of mothers‟ ratings of causes revealed that household responsibility; follow up of child education, child caring, disparity in parenting style, misunderstanding, lack of interest to generate income, carelessness, insufficient income for the family, extravagance and lack of intimacy were the major causes of marital conflicts. The t test results showed that these parents practiced more destructive reasoning than verbal aggression & physical aggression, and more verbal aggression than physical aggression when they resolve marital disagreements. The result of interview also revealed that there are some homes that had applied hostile form of conflict resolution tactics. On the other hand, the independent t test depicted that low self-regulated students reported higher level of conflict property; threat appraisal; self-blame appraisal, and perception of low parental support compared to high self-regulated students. Pearson correlation also revealed a statistically significant negative relationship of academic self-regulation with conflict property, threat, self-blame and low parental support. Consistently, the SEM analysis depicted that interparental conflict negatively influences adolescent‟s academic self-regulation mediated by low parental support and self-blame. Finally, on the basis of these findings conclusions, recommendations and future research directions were forwarded. Advisors/Committee Members: Vimla Vegerecha (PhD) (advisor).

▼ Adolescents are sensitive people who can easily get derailed by a number of challenges which can sometimes lead to detrimental results if they are not taken care of appropriately. Despite the existence of the National Standards for Adolescent Friendly Health Services which is supposed to assist in reducing teenage pregnancy, disturbing figures of adolescents getting pregnant continue to rise. This study aimed at assessing the implementation of the Adolescent Active Participation, Adolescent Friendly Health Care Provider and the Adolescent Friendly Environment components of the Adolescent Friendly Health Services by nurses in Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia. A quantitative descriptive, analytical cross-sectional study design was done. The study triangulated data from three data sources. The first population was the 38 nurses at the health centres and clinics who implement the Adolescent Friendly Health Services in Otjozondjupa Region. The second study population were all the 3 health centres and 16 Clinics where the Adolescent Friendly Health Services are implemented. The third study population was the 4 995 school-going teenage girls as potential users of the Adolescent Friendly Health Services in the 21 Secondary Schools of Otjozondjupa Region. Data for the teenage girls and the nurses was collected using self-administered structured questionnaires of open and close ended questions. A sample of 540 from the teenage girls’ population and universal sampling of 38 nurses and 19 health facilities was applied. The data on the third component-the health facilities was collected through a checklist. Variables which are related to either the use or the provision of Adolescent Friendly Health Services were selected from the questionnaires and the checklist. A multivariate, analytical descriptive method was followed to analyse the data from the three data sources, using SPSS Version 16 data base. Variables from each of the three components were analysed and described. The relationships of the selected variables were analysed. The findings indicated that there was limited active involvement and participation of the adolescents in the Adolescent Friendly Health Services as the majority of the adolescents as users of this service did not know about the service. The findings further indicated that almost half of the nurses in the service were not formally trained in Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health issues. Additionally, health facility environments were not adolescent friendly. In conclusion, this study revealed that although the standards for the implementation of AFHS exist, they are not being effectively implemented by Nurses in Otjozondjupa Region. Based on the conclusions which were drawn from this study, recommendations were made with regard to the improvement of adolescent active participation, marketing strategies for Adolescent Friendly Health Services, training of current and prospect adolescent health care providers in matters of adolescent friendly health services and improvement of the adolescent friendly…

▼ National attention is currently focused on improving health services that are delivered to vulnerable, adolescent populations. An important first step in developing a new, high-quality health care model that addresses the needs of adolescents is to understand their current health services use. Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Plan (SCHIP) provide critical, financial access to health care for adolescents in low-income families; yet, health services use by this population is not understood. The first two of three dissertation papers focus on how Medicaid insurance coverage definitions impact reported estimates of health services utilization. The first paper is a systematic review that describes Medicaid insurance definitions reported by researchers and explores the extent to which reported estimates of adolescent health services utilization differ by these definitions. The results from this review indicate that there is substantial variation in the estimates of adolescent health care utilization as a function of variation in Medicaid definitions. The second paper uses Rhode Island, Medicaid managed care data to empirically examine how estimates of adolescents' health care use vary as a function of three different, commonly used definitions of Medicaid coverage. Applying Medicaid definitions with more restrictive continuous enrollment requirements can result in the systematic selection of adolescents who use health services more frequently than the overall adolescent Medicaid population. When choosing a Medicaid definition, researchers should carefully consider the insurance instability of their target population.The third and final paper examines health services utilization by low-income adolescents in the United States. In this paper, the association between three broad measures of health care access and emergency department (ED) utilization by low-income adolescents is quantified. This study demonstrates that ED utilization by low-income adolescents differs substantially by gender. Of the three health care access measures studied, none were associated with ED utilization by males and only insurance coverage was associated with ED utilization for females. Our research suggests that improving the current model of adolescent health care will require addressing gender-specific health care needs and care seeking behaviors.

▼ This study, framed in theories of social semiotics, describes discipline-specific patterns of representation used across three disciplines—earth science, English, and mathematics—as they were taught by seven middle school teachers in the Southeastern United States. Under the assumption that each discipline would be characterized by distinctive patterns of representation because it addressed specific kinds of content, this study sought to (a) document those patterns; (b) speculate on why those patterns were prevalent in each discipline; and (c) describe reading and writing practices surrounding those patterns. Toward this end, the author observed the teachers for a total of 402 lessons ranging from 50 to 90 minutes each. Over the course of eight to nine months for each teacher, the author typed field notes of her or his instruction, took photographs of classroom artifacts such as handouts and whiteboard drawings, and conducted between four to nine interviews per person regarding representations used in the classroom. To describe the patterns of representation used in each discipline, the author and a colleague coded the data by identifying the types of representation that were used. To theorize what these particular types of representation might have afforded teachers and students across acts of communication, the author selected three video segments from instructional episodes in each discipline, based on their inclusion of the most common modes as indicated by the frequency count, and analyzed them using a multimodal concordance chart. The findings suggest that earth science relied heavily on gestures and a variety of iconic images as a means for representing movement and change on Earth; English relied heavily on written words as a means for addressing characteristics of language and intangible concepts such as characters’ motivation; and mathematics relied heavily on numeric symbolic combinations and abstract images, with gestures to point out connections between representations, as means for helping students visualize patterns and solve problems. The author describes specific reading and writing practices surrounding these modes and concludes with implications for disciplinary literacy instruction as the development of metarepresentational competence.

▼ This qualitative study highlights data collected over a four-month period with a focus group of ten high school students in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. The study was designed to examine how empowerment was realized in the lives of those students. The author examines the way the students discuss their experiences in school, at home, and in their community in order to uncover the extent of empowerment each one may or may not be experiencing in his life. In addition, the author looks at the ways their dialogues uncover emerging themes that show how school may or may not be fostering youth empowerment. Chapter one begins by describing the process the author went through in making decisions about designing the study and presenting it. Chapter two includes a brief review of the literature on youth empowerment and marginalized youth. Chapter three examines interpretive phenomenology and the importance of Vagle (2011) on this study. In particular Karin Dahlberg’s work on bridling (2001) is of importance to this study, as that practice was an integral part of the author distancing herself from the data and the words of the students. Chapter four highlights four of the participants as they discuss empowerment and as each highlights issues of control, power, and inadequacy. Finally, chapter five includes an extension of the review of literature in order to explore literature relevant to the themes that emerged during the study, and then concludes with a discussion of the implications and significance of this study. Examinations of the dialogues of each of the students highlighted here reveal a disconnect between the students and the system of education they are a part of. They know that their goal is to graduate high school, but several are unsure of why that is a goal other than that they have been told that it must be by their teachers or family. There is a lack of efficacy because of that lack of understanding, which was vocalized in nearly every discussion. Advisors/Committee Members: Bob Fecho.

▼ This narrative inquiry explored the experiences of six Korean immigrant adolescents (KIAs) as learners in the United States. The purpose of this study was to understand KIAs’ identity construction and literacy practices through their narratives in a short story club and interview. I sought to answer the overarching question: How do Korean immigrant adolescents see themselves within the socio-cultural context of the United States across school, home, and communities, and how do they construct their identities and practice literacy in those contexts? This study was conducted in a small town in the southern part of the United States. The participants were six high school students who emigrated from South Korea and used two languages, Korean and English. The researcher collected data by using the methods of participant observation and individual interview from January 2011 to May 2011. Guided by the works of Wortham (2000, 2001), Bamberg (1997, 2004), De Fine & Georgakopoulou (2008) and Riessman (2008), the researcher analyzed the KIAs’narratives. Drawing on the works of Bakhtin (1981, 1984, 1986), Hermans and Kempen (1993, 1998), Bhatia and Ram (2001), and Jensen (2011), the researcher interpreted Korean immigrants’ identity construction and literacy practices across the intersecting spaces of home, school, and community. In the narratives of Brian and Jen, the participants on which this study focused, the researcher understood that KIAs continuously crafted their own hybridized identities/cultures by moving, mixing, hedging, and dialoguing with voices inside and outside them. For Brian and Jen, this was not a neutral but rather a power intervened process. In this way, two prominent features of their identity narratives were observed: Narrative as spatialization and ventriloquation. This study suggested the need for educators to view immigrant adolescents as having agency. Thus, this study calls for a more careful and nuanced investigation of immigrant adolescents’ identities and literacy practices across cultural, geographic, and linguistic borders.

▼ Background: The epidemic of adolescent mental disorder is of increasing public health concern, as a leading cause of disability with long lasting effects throughout life. Action is needed to protect vulnerable adolescents worldwide. However, most of the evidence concerning adolescent mental disorders comes from Western settings where socio-economic position is often associated with both potential determinants and the outcomes of mental disorders and with adolescent mental disorders, making these results susceptible to residual confounding. Evidence from a non-Western setting with a different confounding structure and Mendelian randomization can be valuable in disentangling whether these associations are contextually specific or biologically based potential targets of intervention. Objectives: This thesis took advantage of a large (n=8,327), population-representative Chinese birth cohort from Hong Kong to examine the association of modifiable risk factors, including birth weight, life course body mass index (BMI), gestational age and age at onset of puberty, with adolescent mental disorders indicated by depressive symptoms, self-esteem and emotional and behavioral problems. Methods: Mental disorders were assessed by self-reported Patient Health Questionnaire-9 item at ~ 13 years for depressive symptoms, self-reported Culture-Free Self-Esteem Inventory at ~11 years and parent-reported Rutter scores for emotional and behavioral problems at 7 years and ~ 11 years. Partial least squares regression was used to examine the adjusted association of birth weight and life course adiposity with adolescent mental disorders. Multivariable linear and logistic regression was used to examine the adjusted association of gestational age and age at onset of puberty with adolescent mental disorders. To verify these findings a Mendelian randomization study using a large publically available case-control study was meta-analyzed with all previous such studies to estimate the effect of BMI on adult depression. Results: Birth weight, life course adiposity and gestational age were largely unrelated to adolescent mental disorders, although lower birth weight and very/moderate preterm birth were associated with higher Rutter sub scores for specifically hyperactivity. Consistent with these findings in adults genetically determined BMI was unassociated with depression, odds ratio (OR) 1.07, confidence interval (CI) 0.86 to 1.34. The association of onset of puberty with depressive symptoms varied by sex (interaction p value <0.05). Earlier onset of breast development was associated with higher risk of the presence of depression (OR 0.83, 95% CI [0.70 to 0.98]). Discussion: In this population-representative birth cohort from a developed non-Western setting with little social patterning of birth weight, life course adiposity, gestational age or mental disorders, birth weight, gestational age and life course adiposity do not appear to be factors in the development of adolescent mental disorders. Mendelian randomization confirmed the lack of…

▼ Adolescent motherhood is presented in the literature as today’s challenge both nationally and internationally. The World Health Organization (2007) also indicated the encountered problem on adolescent motherhood world-wide. Many countries documented the vicious sequence of early motherhood such as poverty and poor education. Accordingly, adolescent motherhood is regarded as a social health concern owing to its socioeconomic consequences, which affect the young mothers, their babies, their families and their communities at large. As a developing country, Namibia is no exception to the problem of adolescent motherhood, high rate of early sexual activity prevails among adolescents, with consequently unwanted pregnancies and early motherhood. The increase in the births of babies to adolescent mothers is happening throughout the country. The adolescent pregnancy rate in Namibia is estimated to be 15.4%, with approximately one out of every five pregnant women being an early adolescent (Ministry of Health and Social Services, (MOHSS 2006/2007). The reality is that when adolescents discover that they are pregnant and the realities and responsibilities of motherhood dawn on them, they tend to feel shocked, frightened, hopeless, angry and frustrated. They may even become depressed and feel that they have failed themselves, their families and society at large. Adolescent mothers seem to be thrown into an adult world with no preparation for being a parent. This may increase the risk of child neglect or maltreatment and a loving-caring relationship between baby and mother may never develop. The following question arises: What needs to be done to assist and support adolescent mothers in the transition from adolescence to motherhood? Although the prevalence of adolescent pregnancy in Oshana region is not the highest recorded in the country, it does contribute to the high percentage in the country.According to the reports from the 2006 birth registers of the Oshakati Intermediate Hospital, a referral hospital in Oshana, there is an increased number of births from adolescents with the birth records indicating that 42% of the births that took place in January 2006 and 43% in August 2006 were from young adolescent mothers aged 15−17years.Thus, this study aimed atexploring and describing the experiences of adolescent mothers in the Oshana regionof Namibia as regards motherhood and developed an educational programme directed at preparing, assisting and supporting adolescent mothers during the period of motherhood. Adolescents should be able to manage their lives without back street abortions and baby dumping which usually occur when they don’t want to have babies. A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual research approach was followed to study the experiences of adolescent mothers in Oshana region of Namibia. The study draws on a thematic analysis following Tesch’s analysis process. The study was conducted in four phases. Phase I entailed a situational analysis which explored and described the adolescent mothers’…

▼ Abstinence as a protection against STD and unwanted pregnancy is highly promoted by public health and health education professionals. However, few studies of abstinence have focused on abstinence within the context of partnerships, particularly as relationships change over time. Understanding the factors that predict abstinence states and how those states may change over time is important to understanding sexual decision-making. In this longitudinal study of 365 young women, the influence of relationship quality, motivations for coitus, sexual relationship satisfaction, sexual self-efficacy, sexual conservatism, and religiosity were evaluated in a static model using cross-sectional data from enrollment and in a state change model using longitudinal data. All measures were partnership specific with the exception of sexual conservatism and religiosity. The main study hypothesis was that relationship quality is associated with abstinence state and influences state change within partnerships. Age, relationship quality, motivations for coitus and sexual relationship satisfaction were all negatively associated with abstinence while sexual conservatism had a positive association in the static model. State change from sexually active to abstinent was associated positively with sexual conservatism and negatively with age, sexual desire and relationship quality. For transitions from abstinent to sexually active, the direction of the association for age and sexual conservatism was reversed and relationship quality and sexual desire were no longer a significant factors. Understanding abstinence within the context of partnerships is useful for the development of programs designed to promote healthy sexual decision-making. Important findings from this study were that understanding of relationship quality may result in more appropriately targeted education and intervention messages; sexual conservatism may be a more important construct than religiosity for promotion of abstinence; and, understanding sexual desire and other motivations for coitus within partnerships may provide useful information to health practitioners.

▼ Although wellness has become a declared priority within education, a thorough exploration of the factors responsible for student wellness has yet to occur. There have been many studies with a focus on adolescent problems; however, wellness research is limited and non-holistic in its approach. This dissertation sought to explore the adolescent wellness phenomenon and the factors influencing its enhancement through the experiences of adolescents and teachers. The primary purpose of the research was to explore adolescents’ perceptions of wellness in two mid-sized Western Canadian high schools. The second purpose was to use a theoretical framework to describe the relationship between adolescent perceptions of wellness and the developmental dimensions of adolescent lives, the perceived influences on adolescent wellness, and the links between professional support (teachers) and students’ perceived levels of wellness (low, medium and high-level wellness). To accomplish this, two hundred and eighty grade eleven students completed a wellness survey. Additionally, subgroups of 22 students and 6 teachers were asked to participate in focus group discussions. It was found that wellness was a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. The study revealed that there were at least four dimensions contributing to the balance of wellness: physical (physical activity, nutrition, smoking, drugs and alcohol), psychological (self-esteem, media), spiritual and social (parents, teachers and peers). For many students, the dimensions were not considered equally important, but wellness was seen to involve maintaining a balance in life. The findings of the study indicated that modifications to particular areas of educational practice should be considered when working to promote adolescent wellness and the some of the suggested change areas include: additional professional development, school health programming and committing to school partnerships with health care professionals such as nurses. Implications for educational policy included the support for professional development related to health education, policies that fiscally support the hiring of school health nurses, and policies that are reflective of adolescent developmental stages. Among the implications for research are a need to further explore the conceptualization of adolescent wellness in youth of all ages and in schools across the Canada, as well as the need for longitudinal studies which would allow for further investigation of wellness, and its validity beyond this study.

▼ Depressieve klachten komen veel voor, ook bij adolescenten. Depressieve klachten kunnen de sociale, emotionele, fysieke en cognitieve ontwikkeling van de jongere negatief beïnvloeden. Na een depressieve periode is de kans op het ontwikkelen van een volgende depressieve periode groter (Smit, Bohlmeijer & Cuijpers, 2003; Treffers & Siebelink, 2006). Het herkennen van risicofactoren en van signalen van depressieve klachten kan mogelijk bevorderen dat vroegtijdige hulp geboden wordt bij depressieve klachten om te voorkomen dat de klachten verergeren. In huidig onderzoek werd nagegaan hoe risicofactoren uit het mesosysteem van adolescenten tussen de 10 en 15 jaar, namelijk sociale status, isolatie en gepest worden op school, het optreden van depressieve klachten beïnvloeden. Tevens werd van de variabelen geslacht, opleiding, coping en sport nagegaan of deze een modererende invloed uitoefenen op de relatie tussen de risicofactoren en depressieve klachten. Ten slotte werd geïnventariseerd in hoeverre de doelgroep bekend is met het bestaan en het gebruik van online hulpverlening ter preventie van psychische klachten bij jongeren. Het onderzoek was een cross-sectioneel survey. Tussen november 2011 en februari 2012 werden 38 scholen voor basis- en middelbaar onderwijs benaderd voor deelname aan het onderzoek. Via de 7 scholen die bereid waren om mee te werken werden de ouders van de leerlingen om medewerking van hun kind gevraagd. Daarnaast werden respondenten geworven via medestudenten en andere bekenden. Van 301 adolescenten van 10 t/m 15 jaar werden gegevens verzameld middels een online vragenlijst. De vragenlijst werd samengesteld uit een korte depressievragenlijst: Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (Angold et al., 1995), een coping vragenlijst: Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski, Kraaij & Spinhoven, 2001) en zelf geformuleerde vragen voor het meten van gepest worden, isolatie en sociale status, sporten en bekendheid met online hulpverlening. In totaal werd 59% van de variantie in de depressieve klachten bij jongeren verklaard door de risicofactoren en moderatoren. Significante relaties waren te zien tussen de risicofactoren isolatie (15%) en gepest worden (3.3%) met het verklaren van de variantie in depressieve klachten. Een niet-functionele copingstijl bleek een significant modererend effect te hebben op de relatie tussen isolatie en depressieve klachten. Interactie was ook te zien tussen gepest worden en weinig sporten. De relatie tussen sociale status en gepest worden bleek bij leerlingen van de middelbare school sterker dan van het basisonderwijs. Geslacht toonde een kleine, maar significante relatie met depressieve klachten. Slechts een klein…

▼ Chronic health conditions (CHC) in New Zealand adolescents are on the rise as medical advances continue. Exact numbers of the student population ranges from approximately 17% (Adolescent Health Research Group, 2008) to as high as 37% (Ministry of Health, 2008a). Pasifika and Māori youth are especially hard hit by the increase in numbers of CHCs in New Zealand. Young people with a CHC face additional challenges in the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial domains their healthy peers do not. Prior research shows CHCs can negatively affect learning. This study used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (Smith, 1995), generally used in nursing and psychological research, and focused on the learning experiences of New Zealand secondary school students with a CHC. It emphasized and gave voice to these students’ experiences that affected their learning. Data were collected from 24 participants in seven secondary schools in a major New Zealand city, through semi-structured individual interviews and focus groups. Despite a wide range of CHCs and ages represented within the overall cohort of students, they shared many commonalities. Participants considered themselves no different from their peers in school, even as they discussed the different effects and difficulties of their respective CHCs, such as the impact of pain or inability to concentrate. They considered school important and did not want to miss class due to either a CHC or its treatment. The physical, cognitive, and psychosocial impacts of CHCs make learning challenging, especially when students encounter skepticism and teachers with insufficient knowledge of CHCs to meet their learning needs. This lack of understanding or knowledge regarding CHCs and how they impact the student caused additional strain but these young people retained their interest in school, regardless of school decile or ethnicity. Students took responsibility for their learning and attributed learning success to their efforts and coping strategies with strong support given by parents. Teachers or others within the school who knew about the CHC were seen as helpful and understanding; protective factors which contributed to their learning. New and career educators and policy makers in New Zealand need additional instruction in New Zealand on the impact of CHCs on learning as well as greater encouragement of communication between parents and schools regarding health to help these adolescents in their education.

▼ Adolescent pregnancies are a major health concern in Zambia. Obstetric outcomes of and factors associated with adolescent pregnancies seen at the UTH were not clearly understood, defined and documented. This study explored this aspect. This was a comparative prospective cross sectional study. A purposeful sample of 200 consenting pregnant adolescents and women aged between 20 and 30 years who were admitted in labour and in a ratio of 1:1 was studied. A total of 3,456 women aged between 14 and 30 years delivered at the UTH between September and October, 2015 out of which 480 (13.9%) were adolescents. Of the 100 adolescents studied, 62(62 %) had dropped out of school due to pregnancy (p <0.001, AOR 14.6; 95% CI: 5.15 - 41.53) with 81(81 %) of their pregnancies being unplanned. Factors associated with adolescent pregnancies noted from the study included mean age at coitarche (p <0.001), early marriages (p <0.001; AOR 14.6, 95% CI: 4.642 - 45.99), primary education (p 0.002; AOR 4.522, 95% CI: 1.758 – 11.634), having a boyfriend (p <0.001; AOR 12.70, 95% CI: 4.04 – 39.91) and contraceptive use. There were 95(95%) adolescents who had never used a contraceptive before compared to 40(40%) older women (p <0.001). Adolescents were also significantly associated with first degree perineal tears (p <0.001; AOR 3.46, 95% CI: 1.83 - 6.56) and preterm deliveries (p 0.026, AOR 2.60, 95% CI: 1.16 - 5.78). Furthermore, although not statistically significant, more adolescents 22(22%) had low birth weight babies compared to 14(14%) older women (p 0.132) and 11(11%) had pregnancy induced hypertension versus 7(7%) older mothers (p 0.323). In addition, out of the 10 documented caesarean sections among the study participants, 8(80%) were among adolescents (p 0.052). Several factors and adverse obstetric outcomes are associated with adolescent pregnancies seen at the UTH. Although adolescent pregnancy is reducing, it remains high and contributing significantly to discontinuation of school. Key stakeholders including the ministry of health and its cooperating partners need to continue targeting adolescents with appropriate health messages including an emphasis on increased access to and utilization of effective contraceptives.

▼ The relationship between weight status and depression in children and adolescents was examined through an analysis of pooled data from three studies of Major Depressive Disorder in youth. Participants included 434 youth, ages 8 to 17. During the acute phase of treatment (0 to 12 weeks), youth received open treatment with fluoxetine. Participants were divided into three groups: normal weight, overweight, and obese. This study examined the association between weight status and various baseline characteristics of depression. The associations of weight status with depression severity (as measured by the Children’s Depression Rating Scale-Revised), remission status (defined as a score of ≤ 28 on the Children’s Depression Rating Scale-Revised and a Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement score of 1 or 2 following 12 weeks of acute treatment with fluoxetine), and time to remission were examined. Weight status was associated with ethnicity, such that African American participants were more highly represented in the obese group than in normal and overweight groups. Additionally, obesity status (obese, not obese) was associated with ethnicity, such that Caucasians were more highly represented in the nonobese group than in the obese group. Obesity status was also found to be significantly associated with a family history of depression, such that those with a positive family history of depression were more likely to be categorized as obese. Change in depressive symptoms over time and time to remission were not found to be associated with weight status as hypothesized. Remission status was found to be associated with weight status, age, and family history of depression. Results suggest that youth with normal weight may have a better response to depression treatment. Further research is needed in the area of obesity and depression in youth as it relates to outcomes for depression treatment to better understand this complex relationship.

▼ Both obesity and eating disorders (ED) are increasingly conceptualized from an ecological model of health, which emphasizes the importance of individual and contextual variables. The peer context is particularly important for understanding adolescents’ weight related attitudes and behaviors; however, specific peer processes that impact obesity and EDs are unclear. Because social comparison is common during adolescence, how teens view their body in comparison to the body size of their close friends may be influential. The purpose of this study is to examine how adolescents’ perceptions of their friends’ body sizes relate to their weight-related cognitions, behaviors, and mental health symptoms, and to identify peer processes that mediate these associations. Adolescents provided self-report on weight related cognitions and behaviors including: defining self as overweight, dieting, exercise, body satisfaction, ED symptoms, and depressive symptoms. Using a figure rating scale, participants also reported on their figure size and the sizes of their four closest friends. Analyses indicated that adolescents who rated themselves as having a larger figure also had friends who they perceived as relatively large (i.e., weight clustering). For girls but not boys, the perceived size of friends (e.g., rating of largest and thinnest friend) predicted whether or not the adolescent identified as overweight, felt body dissatisfaction, engaged in recent dieting, and endorsed ED symptoms, beyond the effect of BMI and self figure rating. There was some indication that peer group preoccupation with weight may mediate these effects, although in general there was little support for the potential mediating mechanisms tested. Results provide additional evidence of weight clustering among peer groups, and indicate this clustering may have an impact on how adolescents view their weight. Consequently, prevention programs that address negative aspects of social comparison or are delivered in peer groups may be especially important. Advisors/Committee Members: Amy Gorin, Ph.D. and V. Bede Agocha, Ph.D., Stephanie Milan, Ph.D..

The literature suggests an association between extreme Eveningness typology (otherwise referred to as Eveningness preference) and affective and behavioural dysfunction. However to date, there have been no prospective/longitudinal analyses exploring the course of circadian typology with regard to the onset of both internalizing and externalizing dysfunction during adolescence. In response to this gap in the literature, this thesis aims to explore the relationship between circadian typology and risk factors associated with internalizing and externalizing dysfunction across the adolescent period using a multi-wave longitudinal design, so as to assess the prospective relationship of chronotype and the onset and development of mental health problems during this especially vulnerable phase of human life. Furthermore, the development of major depressive disorder (MDD) during adolescence has been linked to a lifetime of impaired functioning and disability, and characteristic rhythm abnormalities have been consistently associated with depressive states, therefore another key aim of this research was to further explore the potential influence of circadian rhythmicity in relation to the onset of case level Depressive diagnoses during this time. Based on previous literature it is evident to date that puberty is associated with a natural tendency for endogenous circadian rhythms to phase- delay, causing adolescents to become more Evening-like in their sleep-wake behavioural tendencies. Furthermore, it is also well established that individuals who score at the extreme of Eveningness on Morningness-Eveningness questionnaires, such as the Horne & Ostberg MEQ (1977) and MEQ-r (Adan & Almirall, 1991) also exhibit a greater propensity towards developing a circadian rhythm disorder called Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS). Extreme Eveningness tendencies have also been linked to poor sleep quality and sleep deficit, which, along with DSPS have been associated with affective and externalizing disorders. Thus, it has been suggested that individuals exhibiting extreme Evening-type predispositions are increasingly at heightened risk of negative mental health outcomes. In addition, psychosocial factors also play a major role in the development of affective and behavioural dysfunction during adolescence and therefore their influence cannot be overlooked. In particular with regards to chronotype, social and cultural routines are organized around light-dark cycles, thus imposing behavioural expectations that in some cases are difficult to meet if timetables do not coincide with endogenous predispositions for particular behaviours. For instance, Eveningness has been implicated in greater difficulty in meeting familial and social demands, thus resulting in a greater likelihood of conflict within the family environment (Cofer et al., 1999).…
