  • Title: Parent-child communication processes: preventing children's health-risk behavior.
    Author: Riesch SK, Anderson LS, Krueger HA.
    Journal: J Spec Pediatr Nurs; 2006 Jan; 11(1):41-56. PubMed ID: 16409505.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: Review individual, family, and environmental factors that predict health-risk behavior among children and to propose parent-child communication processes as a mechanism to mediate them. CONCLUSIONS: Improving parent-child communication processes may: reduce individual risk factors, such as poor academic achievement or self-esteem; modify parenting practices such as providing regulation and structure and acting as models of health behavior; and facilitate discussion about factors that lead to involvement in health-risk behaviors. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Assessment strategies to identify youth at risk for health-risk behavior are recommended and community-based strategies to improve communication among parents and children need development.
