Abstract

Purpose To examine gender and age differences among urban, low-income, African-American children and adolescents in perceived monitoring by their parents, and the association of perceived parental monitoring with family characteristics, health risk behaviors, and risk perceptions.Methods Three cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 1992 (n = 455), 1994 (n = 355), and 1996 (n = 349). Respondents aged 9-17 years were recruited from low-income urban areas including public housing communities and associated recreation centers. Both multivariate analysis of variance and correlation analysis were performed.Results Low levels of perceived parental monitoring were associated with participation in several health risk behaviors, including sexual behavior, substance/drug use, drug trafficking, school truancy, and violent behaviors. Females perceived themselves to be more monitored than did males. In general, the perceived parental monitoring tended to decrease with advancing age of the youth.Conclusions The strong inverse correlation between perceived parental monitoring and adolescent risk behavior suggests that parental monitoring initiatives may be an effective intervention tool. Longitudinal studies are needed to determine the long-term relationship between perceived parental monitoring and adolescent risk involvements.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
