▼ This narrative analysis explored the literacy practices of three immigrant Caribbean adolescents in the United States. The researcher sought to understand how immigrant adolescents negotiated the new contexts of United States schools and communities. The overarching research question guiding the focus on the participants’ literacy practices and identities was: How do immigrant Caribbean adolescents see themselves within the context of United States schools, and what are the consequences of their identities for their literacy practices? The study was conducted in the metropolitan city of Atlanta, in the south eastern state of Georgia. The participants were three female 16 year old, high school students who migrated from their Caribbean homes of Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. The researcher collected data in the participants’ homes, schools and communities from April- November, 2007. Using ethnographic research methods, the researcher collected interview, observational and documentary data including photographs and participants’ personal and official school documents. In this study, narrative was the principal mode of data collection and method of analysis. Drawing on the works of Cortazzi (1993) and Gee (1999), the researcher designed a method for analyzing and representing the narratives. The researcher used the works of Bakhtin (1981, 1986), Fanon (1967, 2004), and Freire (1987, 2003) as theoretical lenses from which to interpret the data. The key findings revealed the centrality of the Home cultures and values. The participants made ongoing connections with their native countries in order to navigate the United States schools and society. Points of tension included language use, conceptions of learning and teaching, online identity groups, and identification with back Home. The three young women specifically drew on their backgrounds to engage in cultural dialogue with their various social contexts. The findings suggest the need for teachers and researchers to see immigrant adolescents as agentic, cultural brokers with sophisticated knowledge of the cultural norms and literacy practices of diverse social groups that cross cultural, geographic and linguistic borders.

▼ An examination of classification and regression tree (CART) models among African American (AA) adolescents at risk for Essential Hypertension (EH) was conducted. The purpose of Study I was to compare multiple CART model rule creation and cross-validation techniques with each other using intervention data and validate the results with hierarchical regression models. The analyses utilized a data sample obtained from a randomized clinical trial of 181 AA adolescents considered to be at risk for EH. CART models were created using the Gini, Entropy, Class Probability, and Two-ing selection methods combined with the fraction of random cases, and V-fold cross-validation techniques The CART models examined behavioral stress interventions and the influence of underlying anthropometric, psychosocial, and behavioral variable and their impact on resting systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR). The findings imply that CART models using the “Gini or Entropy” selection methods combined with V-fold cross-validations were the best methods for use in clinical trial research. The results of the CART models agreed with previous regression analyses and in some circumstances provided additional information not captured by the regression models. Study II utilized the same 181 participants in Study I and examined the same baseline anthropometric, psychosocial, and behavioral characteristics and treatment group effects. In addition, baseline characteristics, changes in anthropometric, psychosocial, and behavioral characteristics that occurred during the intervention period were also examined for the purpose of determining what treatments and characteristic lead to improved cardiovascular function in the natural environment as measured by 24 hour ambulatory SBP, DBP, and HR. Based on study I CART models using “Gini” and “Entropy” selection methods with V-fold cross-validation were constructed for ambulatory SBP, DBP, and HR. Hierarchical regression models were created that included variables and values based on the rules obtained from the CART analyses. Across all regression models significant effects were found for the subgroups formed from CART outputs. The studies show CART models created with “Gini or Entropy” selection methods combined with V-fold cross-validation are a useful method for maximizing clinical trial success rates at the individual level.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate Black women’s physical activity experiences from elementary to high school with the goal of helping health promotion practitioners and researchers develop programs to prevent decline in physical activity among Black adolescents. The following research questions guided the study: 1) What factors in the community shape physical activity for young Black women? 2) How does being Black and female shape attitudes and engagement concerning physical activity from elementary to high school? The researcher employed a purposive and snowball sampling technique to select nine Black women, who ranged in age from 20 to 26 years. Participants included in the study self-identified as Black women, were not currently pregnant, and had attended middle and/or high school in a metropolitan area in the Southeast. The researcher used a semi-structured interview guide to gather data. Participants also completed a demographic survey and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, a 7-day physical activity recall. Interviews lasted between 1.5-2 hours. Using biographic qualitiatve methods, and constant comparative methods to identify the major themes in the study, the researcher arranged each participant’s interview data in narrative form, chronologically, and in first person to keep true to the voice of the participants. Seven factors emerged as salient to Black women’s physical activity experiences: 1) having physically active role models during childhood encouraged participants to become involved in active and structured play activities such as walking, soccer, cheerleading, and basketball; 2) living in close proximity to parks and recreation centers facilitated physical activity; 3) providing physical opportunities for girls served as a convenient and inexpensive way to participate in physical activity programs; 4) as the participants entered high school, perceiving that peers expected them to behave in appropriately “feminine” ways caused participants to engage in less vigorous forms of physical activity; 5) participating in physical activity with same sex peers became salient to physical activity engagement in high school; 6) taking long bus rides home through the Minority to Majority bus program discouraged physical activity participation after school; and 7) managing priorities and other adult responsibilities, such as preparing for college and pregnancy, decreased participants’ interest in physical activity. To conclude, physical activity of most participants declined between the ages of 13-17, several factors in the community shaped participants’ physical activity to enhance or buffer that decline, and race—when examined in context with socioeconomic status and gender—interacted in unique ways to limit physical activity opportunities and contribute to physical activity decline. Implications for practice, education, and research are discussed for increasing physical activity and preventing its decline. Advisors/Committee Members: Pamela Orpinas.

▼ Within the past decade, overall prevalence of legal and illegal drug use has decreased, but the use of alcohol and other drugs during adolescence remains a current public health problem. Among rural youth, alcohol and other drug use increased over the past decade. Past research on contextual factors influencing drug use revealed that protective factors in the community, school, and home all interact to influence youth drug use; however, these studies lack information about the casual pathways and interactions of protective factors and their role in preventing drug use. Few studies have examined school connectedness as a mediator between contextual factors and drug use. In addition, research in rural areas is lacking, and those studies focusing on adolescents in rural areas often do not account for moderating effects of demographic variables, cultural influences, community connectedness, and the influence of religion. The current study examined a structural model based on an ecological framework to determine how protective factors deter rural adolescent substance use and promote school connectedness. Structural equation modeling was utilized to analyze the relation between these constructs. Data were collected from a convenience sample of middle and high schools from three rural school districts in Georgia. Paper-and-pencil surveys were used to collect data from 1059 students. Results provide evidence that contextual factors from the individual, family/peer, school, and community level all directly or indirectly influence rural adolescent drug use, but individual and school variables play the largest role in preventing rural adolescent substance use. In particular, refusal efficacy and social norms were significant protective factors for all types of substance use. School connectedness was the third strongest protective factor for all substance use and mediated the relation between many contextual factors and substance use. Contextual factors from all levels of the socio-ecological framework have differing effects based on type of drug use, race, gender, and age. Discussion of the study results includes implications for future research and practice. Advisors/Committee Members: Jessica Muilenburg.

Subjective well being is unique as it captures an individual s self-perceived life satisfaction by examining their cognitive appraisal of their own life. In the field of psychology, there has been a growing movement toward examining subjective well-being. A dearth of literature still exists within this area of research for adolescent population. Hence, the present study was carried out to find out the gender differences, level of education, Income, type of college, influence of religion, Impact of Sleep and other demographic factors on Subjective Well-being of Adolescents. The study used a between subject survey design. Participants consisted of 500 adolescent students (15-20 years) (boys=232) (girls=268) pursuing intermediate and also from degree colleges were selected from north coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh. The north coastal districts are namely Srikakulam, Vijayanagaram and Visakhapatnam. Random sampling technique was used for collection of data. Subjective Well-Being Inventory developed by Nagpal and Sell (1992) was used as means of data collection. Demographic Data constructed by the researcher was also secured. SPSS 19 was used for analyzing the data. The findings of the study revealed that the overall subjective well-being of the adolescents did not differ with the gender, income, type of college, residence, religion and with other demographic factors. Results according to the dimensions of SWB indicated that Confidence in coping was experienced by newlineadolescents belonging to urban, private college those with 30,000 and above income group and in non hostellers as well. Social support was found to be high among adolescents belonging to urban, private college and adolescents belonging to Christianity, also adolescents of Degree College. Primary group concern was found be high among adolescents of urban area and studying in private college. Transcendence significantly differed between the mean scores of Hindus and Christians. And also found among the private college students.

▼ The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the benefits of adding a psychological empowerment intervention to traditional strength training on social cognitive variables in community-dwelling older adults [mean age (yrs) �SD = 70.50 �5.32]. Thirty-eight participants, 12 men and 26 women, were randomly assigned to either a psychological empowerment intervention or a traditional strength training intervention for 6 weeks. Prior to random assignment and upon completion of training, all participants completed measures of self-efficacy for upper and lower body strength as well as the desire to be able to lift specific amounts of weight. In addition, participants completed performance testing on a lifting/carrying task. Both the empowerment and traditional strength training conditions involved 2 sessions/week of center-based training and 1 session/week of home-based training, consisting of one set of 8-12 repetitions for 12 exercises. In addition, the empowerment condition included a group-mediated intervention that was designed to enhance self-efficacy towards strength training and to increase the desire for upper and lower body strength. General linear models on difference scores covarying for pretest values and gender revealed that the two groups experienced differential gains in the desire for upper body strength (p = 0.023, ES = 0.79) and were marginally different in gains for upper body strength self-efficacy (p = 0.065, ES = 0.63). On a 4-point scale, the adjusted mean (�SE) differences for the empowerment group on the desire for upper body strength was 0.71 (�0.12) as compared to 0.27 (�0.13) for the traditional strength training group (scale ranged from 0-4), whereas the empowerment group�s improvement in self-efficacy for upper body strength was 25.70 (�3.02) as compared to 17.18 (�3.19) for the traditional strength training group. Due to low statistical power, other outcomes were in the expected direction but did not reach statistical significance. This study provides evidence that empowerment interventions have strong potential in assisting older adults to generalize training effects to functional tasks of their daily lives. There is a need to rethink the structure and content of physical activity programs for older adults in order to promote a more meaningful experience for them, and this empowerment study appears to be a step in the positive direction.

▼ The objective of this study was to examine the effects of using professional athletes or registered dietitians (RD) as role models to modify diet/exercise behaviors and weight status in overweight/obese adolescents. The overall hypothesis of this study was that professional athletes could more effectively change diet/exercise behaviors in overweight/obese adolescents due to their representation of a physically active lifestyle, high adolescent identification, ability to popularize ideals, broadly distribute information and influence social norms. The Houston Texans TwEAT Healthy program was a 12-week social media delivered program where adolescents received text messages (3x/wk) and video messages (2x/wk) from either a professional athlete (n=16) or registered dietitian (n=14). They were assessed for anthropometrics (height, weight, waist circumference), percent body fat, diet/exercise behaviors, weight status and psychological mediators of behavioral change pre- and post- intervention to determine changes. Adolescents, parents and athletes were interviewed post-intervention to examine feasibility/acceptability of the program. Subjects (n=30) paired with a professional athlete were significantly more likely to report something positive about their mentor than those paired with an RD (80% vs. 7%, p<0.001). Participants paired with an athlete were significantly more likely to decrease consumption of sugar sweetened beverages (SSB) t(27)=1.82, p=0.08, but the registered dietitian group was significantly more likely to decrease BMI z-score t(28)=-2.99, p=0.006. Additionally, registered dietitians were more effective at increasing stages of change for physical activity than athletes t(28) = 2.12, p < .05. Both RD’s and athletes were effective at significantly increasing motivation to be healthy, t(13) =2.56, p < .05; t(15) = 2.03, p < .10. While professional athletes may improve acceptability of a social media delivered weight loss program, they do not appear to be more effective than RD’s at influencing psychosocial mediators of behavioral change and weight status. Although both groups increased motivation to be healthy, only RD’s were able to influence weight status. Behaviorally based interventions should include a longer intervention time frame and larger sample size to allow for more robust changes. Utilizing role models who may be perceived as experts in the field of healthy eating and weight loss appear to be more effective mentors than utilizing public figures that solely represent that lifestyle.

▼ Childhood overweight is a major public health concern in the United States (Neumark et al., 2002). African American youth are at greater risk for obesity than Caucasian youth (Kumanyika & Grier, 2006). However, there is limited obesity intervention research in this population (Alio et al., 2006). This study sought to address this issue through the development of a culturally appropriate, theater-based intervention, Healthy 4 Life. The purpose of this study is to determine if a culturally appropriate, theater-based nutrition and physical activity intervention is an effective way of conveying health messages to at-risk African American adolescents and their families. The Healthy 4 Life pilot study was completed in two major phases. First, the developmental phase was conducted in two parts to examine the feasibility and appeal of a theater-based health education approach. In part one, we conducted a four week program at a summer camp for at-risk African American adolescents (N=25). During this time, program components were developed and the evaluation instrument was tested. In part two, we conducted the program at an urban middle school for a period of six weeks (N=15). We also obtained information for program modifications during a focus group. Second, the implementation phase was conducted at another urban middle school to evaluate program effectiveness. The sample included at-risk African American adolescents (N=73). Students were assigned to one of three comparison groups: 1) a Theater-Based Intervention Group, the Healthy 4 Life Program; 2) a Classroom Intervention Group, a modified health curriculum during health education class, or 3) a Control Group, the existing health curriculum. Participants were administered a pretest before the start of the program and a posttest at the end of the program. There were significant changes in some health knowledge items (P <.001). There were also significant changes in behavioral intentions (P<.012). There were no significant changes in preferences and household behavior. All participants in the theater intervention group reported high satisfaction with the program. Conclusively, overall acceptance of this theater-based intervention suggests that theater has potential to be a viable medium for health education for at-risk African American adolescents and their families.

▼ This study sought to confirm and expand literature on psychological health by comparing and contrasting the effects of two prevention programmes, one focused on reducing negative affect and the other focused on enhancing positive affect, and by revealing possible pathways that might lead to increased wellbeing and resilience and reduced negative affect and depressive symptoms. Two school-based intervention approaches were examined: Kiwi ACE (Adolescents Coping with Emotions) and PAL (Positive Approaches to Life), to investigate which techniques would prevent the occurrence of depression, increase wellbeing, and help build resilience in Year 9 students (13-yr-olds). Kiwi ACE is a programme based on a CBT (Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy) model and was trialled previously with success. PAL kept within the same structure as Kiwi ACE but used strategies aimed at building a capacity within students to develop positive emotions in order to build resources for present and future challenges. Both programmes aimed to build resilience and prevent the development of depression in at-risk adolescents. Nine schools from the wider Wellington region in New Zealand participated in the current study. Sixty-five students identified as at-risk, participated in one of the two programmes, and 69 students constituted the control group. All students in the current study were at risk of developing depression, pre-intervention, as suggested by a mild-moderate score on the CDI (Children's Depression Inventory). Both programmes consisted of weekly one hour sessions enacted over 12 weeks during which a group of approximately 10 students met with a clinical psychologist and school counsellor. A survey consisting of a range of scales, measured students' scores pre- and post- programme, at six months and one year after the programme was completed. Kiwi ACE and PAL both decreased depressive symptoms and increased well-being for up to one year after the programme. However, PAL had stronger effects in promoting gratitude, satisfaction with life, happiness, and resilience. Mediation analysis revealed that Kiwi ACE helped to decrease depressive symptoms by increasing students' sense of environmental mastery and increased students' well-being scores by decreasing the intensity and frequency of participants’ negative emotions. In contrast, PAL helped to decrease depressive symptoms, and increase well-being and resilience through many routes, namely through increasing gratitude, meaning, happiness and satisfaction with life. The findings of this study reveal that building a capacity for positive emotions can help develop many resources that protect students from depressive symptoms and increase their psychological well-being and personal resilience. In addition, using positive emotions as a resource is equally effective as using CBT strategies in preventing depression and is more effective in increasing positive outcomes, including personal resilience. Finally the results from PAL indicate that cultivating positive emotions such as gratitude and… Advisors/Committee Members: Jose, Paul, Salmon, Karen.

▼ Background Young people’s exposure to alcohol marketing is a major public health issue, given its potential impact on drinking behaviors. Young people are spending significant amounts of time watching television, and alcohol marketing and promotion on TV is increasing. Little information exists on the presence of youth-appealing content in U.S. televised alcohol advertisements, and whether this is associated with youth drinking behaviors. Objectives The objectives of this research are to (1) determine the extent to which youth-appealing content is found in televised alcohol advertising, (2) test the influence of content on youth consumption, and (3) test the joint influence of exposure and content on youth consumption. Methods Descriptive and univariate data from a content analysis of 96 televised alcohol ads selected from among both popular and unpopular alcohol brands among youth were analyzed for the presence of primarily youthful content appeal (PYCA). Mean brand PYCA scores’ association with youth consumption and adult consumption of each brand, as well as PYCA scores’ association with youth consumption relative to adult consumption were tested through bivariate and multivariate linear regression. Associations of content and youth consumption by subgroup (popular versus unpopular brands) were also tested. A measure of brand exposure calculated using adstock was added as a predictor and the multiplicative influence of exposure and content on youth consumption was tested through bivariate and multivariate linear regression by brand subgroup. Results Primarily youthful content appeal was present in many of the televised ads and popular brands had a higher mean PYCA score (M=2.7, SD=10.16) than unpopular brands (M=-2.72, SD=9.93), t(94) = -2.61, p<.05. There was a positive association between brand PYCA score and brand consumption among youth (β=.15, p < .001) controlling for adult consumption, alcohol type and popularity, and a negative association between brand PYCA score and adult consumption (β=-.15, p < .001) controlling for youth consumption, alcohol type and popularity. Separating by brand popularity, the association between brand PYCA score and youth consumption was present only among the popular brands (β=.33, p < .001), and the association between brand PYCA score and relative youth-to-adult consumption was only present among the popular brands (β=.68, p < .001). Among popular brands, brand exposure score was negatively associated with youth consumption (β=-.14, p < .001), and there was no interaction effect of brand PYCA score on the association. There was a main effect of brand PYCA score on youth consumption (β=.33, p < .001) controlling for brand exposure and adult consumption. Among unpopular brands, in the bivariate model brand exposure was positively associated with youth consumption (β=.39, p < .01), and there was a significant interaction effect of brand PYCA score such that higher mean PYCA score strengthened the positive effect of brand exposure. Conclusions Reducing the influence of alcohol… Advisors/Committee Members: Celentano, David (advisor).

▼ This longitudinal study investigated the course and changes in the time-varying covariation between peer victimization and internalizing problems among adolescents who were transitioning into young adulthood, and proposed that initial levels of emotional support from fathers, mothers, and friends diminished the relation between peer victimization and internalizing problems over a four-year period. Sex and developmental transition group differences (for mid-adolescent transition group aged 12-15 years and late adolescent transition group aged 16-19 years) were explored. Participants included 639 adolescents aged 12 to 19 years at baseline testing. Physical and relational victimization, emotional support, and internalizing problems were assessed from adolescent‟s self-reports. Overall, findings revealed that on average internalizing problems increased over time, but also differed by developmental transition group. For the mid-adolescent transition group, increases in physical and relational victimization were significantly associated with increases in internalizing problems. For the late adolescent group, increases in relational victimization (and not in physical victimization) were significantly associated with increases in internalizing problems. Emotional support from fathers, mothers, and friends significantly impacted the time-varying covariation between peer victimization and internalizing problems, and findings differed by sex and transition group. For the mid-adolescent transition group, high levels of mother and father emotional support were associated with decreases in the association between peer victimization and internalizing problems for girls. High levels of friend emotional support were protective for boys, but were associated with increases in the association between peer victimization and internalizing problems for girls. For the late adolescent transition group, high levels of mother emotional support remained protective for girls, but high levels of father and friend emotional support were associated with increases in the association between relational victimization and internalizing problems. High levels of friend emotional support remained protective for boys. Advisors/Committee Members: Leadbeater, Bonnie J. Ross (supervisor).

▼ This thesis explored the help seeking of adolescents. In particular it focused on who adolescents seek help from for particular problems, the relationship between the options they selected, gender, previous help seeking and psychological distress, their experiences of seeking help for themselves, providing advice to friends and their opinions of help seeking for adolescents. One hundred and forty three adolescents between the ages of 15 and 18 who were attending two high schools in Hamilton, New Zealand, completed a Help Seeking questionnaire and the Youth Outcomes Questionnaire-30.2 (YOQ-30.2). Seven participants completed a semi structured interview focusing on their experience of seeking help. The results indicated that friends followed by parents were the help sources that were endorsed most frequently overall. Informal sources of help were selected more often than formal options. Of particular interest was the frequency with which ‘no one’ was selected as a first choice option. Males’ YOQ-30.2 total scores were significantly higher compared to females. Females were significantly more likely to have sought professional help in the past. Significant relationships were found between the help seeking options selected for the respective questions and gender and previous help seeking from a professional. Key themes that emerged from the semi structured interviews included increasing awareness of help options, the helpfulness, trustworthiness and friendliness of help sources, closeness of the relationship, what adolescents have heard about the help source, and the reaction of the help source when being informed about the young person’s difficulties. Males appeared to be more likely to encourage their friends to seek professional help and to feel confident in providing help to a peer. The implications of these findings were discussed in relation to the current literature. Advisors/Committee Members: Boer, Douglas Pieter (advisor), Fitzgerald, John (advisor).

▼ The KwaSomkhele Reserve, the rural area of Mtubatuba has had a noticeable increase of adolescents who got infected with HI-Virus in the area in recent years. Hence, the researcher became interested to investigate the conditions leading to increased HIV infections amongst adolescents. The reasons for the continued increase of HIV infections regardless of massive campaigns that were conducted in their area were investigated. To give meaning to the objectives of the study, the sampling of 200 adolescents was targeted as participants in the initial stages of the research which included both school children and out of school adolescents. Availability sampling was chosen for this study. It is a method of choosing subjects who are available to find. The primary advantage of this method is that it is easy to carry out, relatively to other methods. Availability sampling is a non-probability sampling. The subjects in the non-probability sampling are also selected conveniently for the ease of data and it entails lower costs (Othman et al, 2013:133). However, due to the challenges that were experienced with the Department of Education in terms of the protocols to be followed, only 100 out of school youth as participants were interviewed. It was discovered that the adolescents of KwaSomkhele were aware of HIV/AIDS through HIV/AIDS programs that had been conducted by different government departments in their area, but most of them chose to ignore the information given to them. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations were made based on the objectives of the study and theories that were used. The researcher has learnt that adolescents are the most vulnerable group in our society because they are faced with the critical transition of moving from puberty stage to adulthood. That transition sometimes forced them to take uninformed decisions and engaged in reckless and risky behaviors which could sometimes lead some of them to be infected by HI-Virus. As a solution to that, the researcher suggests the involvement of stakeholders in providing the necessary support and promoting good and acceptable behaviors by adolescents.

▼ The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the factors that influence the sexual decision making process of 12 African American female adolescents. Three research questions guided this study: 1. What are the perceptions and beliefs that African American female adolescents have regarding sex and HIV/AIDS? 2. What are the factors that impact the sexual decision making process of African American female adolescents? 3. How do African American female adolescents describe the emotional impact that affect the decision making process to have sex? The aim of this research was to explore the factors that influence the sexual decision making process of African American female adolescents. The phenomenological research design was grounded in Black feminist theory to capture the lived experiences of the phenomenon (Patton, 2000). Data was collected during semi-structured interviews with four participants and two 90-minute focus group of an independent sample of eight informants that did not participate in the individual interviews. Bracketing of researcher assumptions was used to demonstrate dependability, credibility and coherence of the data reduction and analysis (Creswell, 2007). Open coding allowed the researcher to generate a list of broad domains to create a codebook (Wertz, 2005). The researcher used a recursive method of data collection and analysis; the codebook guided independent coding of each transcribed interview. Constant comparisons were used to help identify new codes that did not fit under previously identified domains (Lincoln & Guba, 1985). Emergent themes that parallel the research questions are described. First, themes that described the factors that impact the sexual decision making process of African American adolescent females included: (a) peer relationships; (b) media influence; and (c) mother-daughter relationship. Practice and research implications regarding the factors that influence the decision making of adolescent girls of color are discuss. Advisors/Committee Members: Deryl Bailey.

▼ The transition to parenthood is typically regarded as a difficult adjustment period for couples. In comparison to adult parents, pregnant adolescent mothers and young expectant fathers experience increased stressors during the transition to parenthood. There are significant implications for the wellbeing of the adolescents, as well as for their child, when the transition to parenthood is contentious. This study examined whether the Young Parenthood Project (YPP), a program focused on improving the co-parenting alliance, could improve the interpersonal interactions between adolescent mothers and their counterpart expectant fathers. Participants (n=106 couples) were randomized into one of three groups: 1) control, 2) care-coordination only, or 3) YPP, which included couples’ counseling with care coordination. The interpersonal behaviors of participants were assessed through two videotaped interactions involving the couple during the second trimester of their pregnancy (pre-assessment) and then six months after the child’s birth (post-assessment). Results indicated that mothers in the YPP group demonstrated more frequent “Affirming and Understanding” interpersonal behavior, a type of positive communication, at post-assessment than would be expected if the variables of gender, time, and group were independent. In contrast, mothers in the control group displayed less frequent “Affirming and Understanding” interpersonal behaviors at the post-assessment than would be expected if the variables of gender, time, and group were independent. Participants in the care coordination group demonstrated less frequent “Disclosing and Expressing” interpersonal behavior, a positive type of communication at the post-assessment than would be expected if the variables of gender, time, and group were independent. Participants in the care coordination group also demonstrated significantly more frequent “Asserting and Separating” communication, a neutral type of interpersonal behaviors, at the post-assessment than would be expected if the variables of gender, time, and group were independent. Results demonstrated that mothers in the YPP group displayed more frequent positive interpersonal interactions towards their co-parenting partners at the post-assessment, while participants in the care coordination group displayed less frequent warmth and more frequent neutral interpersonal communication at the post-assessment. These findings provided support for further exploration of the co-parenting relationship between adolescent parents. Advisors/Committee Members: Karen C. Stoiber.
