The Effects of Parenting Practices, Maternal Depression and Other Socio-Demographic Variables on Behavioral Health in White, African American and Latino Children Presented: Washington, DC, CDC National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities Conference, July 2004 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); CESD (Depression Scale); Children, Poverty; Depression (see also CESD); Neighborhood Effects; Parenting Skills/Styles; Parents, Behavior; Poverty Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) was analyzed to determine the processes and mechanisms through which parenting and chronic poverty influence child behavioral problems in 3 groups: whites, blacks, and Latinos. Structural equation modeling analyses showed that the effects of parenting and poverty are mediated through intermediate variables--e.g. neighborhood effects and maternal depression--differently in different groups. Results show that possible interventions need to be tailored to fit the specific group's mechanisms. |
