Youth Outcomes : An Analysis Of Intervention And Control Group Children

Children of anxious parents are at greater risk for developing anxiety disorders (Schrok 2010). High parental control, insecure attachment and the parental modeling of poor coping strategies have been identified as parent-related risk factors that may contribute to the development and maintenance of childhood anxiety disorders. In response to the growing research on the influence of parental factors, a number of child-parent interventions have been developed to integrate parents into their child’s

Early Intervention and Juvenile Delinquency Prevention: Evidence from the Chicago Longitudinal Study (CLS) (Mann, E. A., & Reynolds, A. J., 2006). The Chicago Longitudinal Study (CLS) was a quasi-experimental design study which investigated the role of Child-Parent Center (CPC), early education intervention (independent variable) and child, family, peer and school-level predictors on court-reported juvenile delinquency (dependent variable). The predictor variables used have been supported through

Identifying childhood, youth and family risk factors is vital in the prevention of juvenile offending behavior and juvenile court involvement. An ecological view of child development which treats children through their broader environment rather than through isolated intervention has proven to be highly effective. By improving parents’ interactions with these systems, and by helping them to support their child’s physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development, early intervention programs make positive

Background In a study of children that had a family member or family associate incarcerated prior to their 18th birthday, Loper & Nichols (2012) attempted to address the impact that such incarceration had on such children. It was expected, consistent with previous literature, that household incarceration would have an impact on academic outcomes. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the relationship between household incarceration and two outcomes: failure to graduate high school and extended

The following ten steps for conducting the outcome evaluations “Clearly define the problem being addressed by the program; specify the outcome the program is designed to achieve. Specify the research questions we want the evaluation to answer, and select an

One of the main causes of delinquency is maltreatment, especially during the early stages of life. This has been identified as the main risk factor for delinquency among children. However, there are variations in maltreated children who later become juvenile delinquents. Recent studies show that a significant percentage of children who are abused do not necessarily become juvenile delinquents. This proves that there are other factors which

For decades, early childhood intervention programs, including child-care program facilities, have created controversial debates on the long-term effects that they have on a persons childhood and more importantly, their future development. Although there are various debates on early childhood intervention effects on future development, early intervention programs tend to show long-term effects on cognitive and academic achievement, and positive effects on occupational prestige and depressive symptoms

The following ten steps for guiding the outcome evaluations “Clearly define the problem being addressed by the program; specify the outcome the program is planned to accomplish. Specify the research questions we want the evaluation to answer, and select an appropriate evaluation design and carefully consider sample selection, size, and equivalent between the groups. (Pp. 1-9) Select reliable and valid measures to measure changes in the program outcome, and address issues linked to human subjects

among children. Demographic and epidemiologic analysis alone do not account for the high rates in childhood obesity. These analysis help provide a clearer understanding of why obesity is a national epidemic. It is significant as public health officials to know that there are substantial racial differences in obesity among young kids and teenagers in the United States. Among Hispanics for instance, the incidence of obesity was higher in 2011-2012 at 22.4% and 20.2% for African American youth compared
