Abstract

Although the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends vaccinating adolescents against the human papillomavirus (HPV) to prevent HPV-associated cancers, vaccine initiation and completion rates are suboptimal. Parental and provider hesitancy contributes significantly to low HPV vaccine uptake. This review describes sources of HPV vaccine hesitancy using a World Health Organization framework that categorizes determinants of vaccine hesitancy as follows: contextual factors (historical, sociocultural, environmental, or political factors), individual and group factors (personal perception or influences of the social/peer environment), and vaccine/vaccination-specific issues (directly related to vaccine or vaccination)., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract

Children living apart from a biological mother make up one-quarter of all children with an absent parent, but research on this emerging population is scarce. This study uses the 1997 National Survey of America?s Children (NSAF) to compare children with nonresident mothers and children with nonresident fathers in terms of their living arrangements and involvement with nonresident parents (visitation and child support). Results demonstrate considerable diversity in the living arrangements of children with nonresident parents? whereas children with nonresident fathers tend to be concentrated in single parent households, a large proportion of children with nonresident mothers live with grandparents, relatives, and others. Patterns of parental involvement differ by the sex of the nonresident parent and follow traditional gender lines: children with nonresident mothers have more in-person visits with their nonresident parent than children with nonresident fathers and children with nonresident fathers receive more child support. Children?s living arrangements are associated with the involvement of the nonresident parent, and this relationship differs for children with nonresident mothers versus fathers. These findings indicate that children with nonresident mothers are a unique population of children with absent parents. Gender-blind social policies specifying child support and visitation guidelines for nonresident parents may therefore be inappropriate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In the last two decades, a great deal of energy and attention has been dedicated to generating educational equity by increasing the involvement of parents in schools. Previous research suggests that black and Hispanic parents are more involved in their children?s education than white parents are (Kerbow and Bernhardt, 1993; Sui-Chu and Willms, 1996). However, the available literature also makes it clear that poor, black and Latino children benefit less from their parent?s efforts at school than white children do (McNeal, 1999; Sui-Chu and Willms, 1996, Lareau, 1989). This paper brings two hypotheses to bear on these findings, using data from the National Household Education Survey. First, I examine the possibility that minority parents tend to be involved in their children?s education in different ways than majority parents, and that this difference affects children?s educational outcomes. Second, I examine the possibility that identical levels of parental involvement have differential effects based on the parent?s race and class. My analyses support both of these hypotheses and help explain the race and class gaps in parental involvement and children?s educational performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Parental underestimation of the severity and risks of their child's obesity and parents' potential implicit weight bias contribute to the reluctance to consider bariatric surgery for their adolescent children with obesity. Despite evidence for safety and efficacy of bariatric surgery in adolescents, pediatric providers may be hesitant or uncomfortable to discuss the benefits and refer patients for surgical evaluation. Understanding these barriers is an essential step toward effective long-term care in this patient population., Objectives: We hypothesized that parental views on bariatric surgery are primarily influenced by personal experiences with bariatric surgery, their implicit bias, understanding of health risks of obesity, and counseling by pediatric providers., Setting: Data were collected and analyzed at an academic medical center in the United States., Methods: After a retrospective chart review of 192 adolescents with obesity, a telephone survey of patients' parents was conducted., Results: Parents of 71.4% of patients who received outpatient weight loss counseling had accurate recollection of that event. Only 12.8% of parents who were referred to lifestyle programs successfully enrolled. Neither prior personal exposure to bariatric surgery nor enrollment of the child in a lifestyle program increased parents' likelihood to consider bariatric surgery for their child (P = .10 and .70, respectively). Most parents (84.6%) who were counseled by their pediatric provider about bariatric surgery would consider it, compared with only 34.5% of the parents who did not receive counseling (P < .001)., Conclusions: Counseling by pediatric providers, not involvement in lifestyle programs or exposure to bariatric surgery, increased parents' willingness to consider bariatric surgery for their child. Given the current recommendations to incorporate bariatric surgery as a treatment modality in severe adolescent obesity, earlier counseling about the role of surgery by pediatric providers is essential. More detailed provider education on the current state of bariatric surgery in the treatment of severe adolescent obesity is also necessary., Competing Interests: Disclosures The authors have no commercial associations that might be a conflict of interest in relation to this article., (Copyright © 2020 American Society for Bariatric Surgery.
