There are expectations for parents to provide their children with emotional, social and economic security and predictability. Parents with a substance use disorder (SUD) are often unable to meet the norms and expectations of good parenting, and their children are vulnerable to developing problems with mental health, social relationships and substance use. Through in-depth interviews, the authors explored five young people’s stories about protection factors during their childhood around parents with SUD. The interviews were analysed using a narrative approach in accordance with Polkinghorne’s concept of the paradigmatic analysis of narrative data. In the informants’ stories about their childhood, safe living conditions, significant relationships and respectful and caring conversations (Edited publisher abstract)

Purpose: Adolescent violence towards parents (AVTP) has damaging impacts on family relationships, however, little is known about the characteristics of the families in which it occurs. The purpose of this paper is to synthesize current knowledge of the AVTP characteristics to help to inform the development of more effective community responses. Design/methodology/approach: The paper opted and alcohol use, anger difficulties and trauma. The victims (parents) are characterized as having strained relationships with other family members and trauma profiles. Practical implications: Policy and practice responses should be tailored to systemically address needs in the identified areas. This review further illustrates the limitations of current knowledge, highlighting inconsistencies in both (Publisher abstract)

Truancy is associated with numerous problem behaviours and social consequences. Adolescent substance use shares many of the underlying risk factors that are associated with truancy. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and range of substances use by a population of court-adjudicated chronically truant youths and their caregivers. The study used secondary data collected from March 2007-March 2009 for 637 youths (330 male and 307 female) who were arraigned in a county-based truancy court in a midsized city in the southeastern United States. Of the 637 students, 458 provided urine samples for drug testing. In addition, a total of 473 caregivers provided samples. The findings indicate that illicit substance use in this sample of youths and adults is substantially higher than that in general population estimates. A total of 22% of youth and 23% of caregivers who provided viable urine samples tested positive for illicit substance use. Youth substance use was associated with caregiver use. These findings suggest that truancy interventions that target risk factors common to truancy and substance use may be indicated for a substantial portion of truant youths.
Researching parent abuse: a critical review of the methods

Research into parent abuse is still in its infancy and research findings regarding its extent and characteristics are widely disputed. The research that exists is characterised by diverse and discrete methodological approaches which have produced somewhat inconsistent findings. The aim of this critical review is to examine these different research approaches and discuss the methodological challenges which they present. Four main methods which have produced knowledge about parent abuse are discussed: secondary analysis of criminal justice data; large-scale epidemiological surveys; interview data elicited from intervention groups; and case studies and typological analyses derived from clinical samples. The review concludes by providing suggestions as to how research might develop to produce a more coherent and contextual methodology which does justice to the complexities of the topic. Parent abuse is a relational and contextual phenomenon, and the next step should be to move beyond researching individuals and dyads and to explore how parent abuse operates within community, national and global contexts.

It is estimated that 2 million children and young people in the UK are affected by parents’ drug or alcohol misuse. For many of these young people, daily life can be unpredictable and tough at times. There are young people who cope better if they can get support from people they trust. This booklet is based on research with young people, whose parents have problems with drugs or alcohol, to find parents and families so that they can better understand the experiences and concerns of young people affected by this issue.

This guide explains what happens when young people receiving help from Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) are reaching an age when they need to move on from CAMHS, and get the support that they need from adult services. This process is called transition. It is an important change for young people who are using these services, and also for their families and often happens at a time when lots of other things are changing in the young person’s life. The guide is design to help the parent or carer of a young person who is about to move from CAMHS or has been told that this will happen soon. It gives information about what should be happening for the young person, what help people who provide care to the young person can get and a bit about the laws that apply. This guide is written assuming that the child or young person wants their parent or carer to be involved with their care and share at least some information. Issues around confidentiality and sharing information are dealt with.

A systematic review was conducted of interventions with physical activity and parental components among healthy youth to identify how best to involve parents in physical activity interventions for children. Identified intervention studies were reviewed in 2008 for study design, description of family components, and physical activity outcomes. The quality of reporting was assessed using the CONSORT checklist for reporting on trials of nonpharmacologic treatments. The literature search identified 1227 articles, 35 of which met review criteria. Five of the 14 RCTs met over 70 percent of CONSORT checklist items. Five general procedures for involving parents were identified: (1) face-to-face educational programs or parent training, (2) family participatory exercise programs, (3) telephone communication, (4) organized activities, and (5) educational materials sent home. Lack of uniformity in reporting trials, multiple pilot studies, and varied measurements of physical activity outcomes prohibited systematic conclusions. However, interventions with educational or training programs during family visits or via telephone communication with parents appear to offer some promise.

Fifty-five transgender youth described their gender development and expression, parents' reactions to their gender nonconformity, and initial and current mothers' and fathers' reactions to their transgender identity. All of the youth reported feeling different from others in early childhood. Forty-three of the participants' mothers and 26 of their fathers knew about their identities. The youth
