Abstract Preadolescence is a critical window of development during which beliefs and behaviors related to gender roles, appearance ideals, romantic relationships, and sex are adopted, impacting proximal and distal health outcomes. Parents are influential in shaping their children’s beliefs and behaviors, and high-quality parent- child communication can serve as a protective factor to improve youth health outcomes. However, parents often struggle with effectively communicating with their children about these topics, especially within the context of the declining age of puberty. For preadolescents, media are gender and sexual socializing agents, and the messages they receive about appearance, gender roles, relationships, and sex are often stereotypical, unrealistic, and inaccurate. Parents can attenuate the potentially harmful impact of media on their children through parental media mediation, and parenting programs using media literacy education (MLE) have been shown to favorably impact youth health outcomes. The first aim of this project is to create MAP-Tween, a web- based program designed to provide parents of preadolescents with media mediation skills, knowledge about preadolescent development, and practice in high-quality parent-child communication about puberty and sexual development, gender stereotypes, relationships, and sex. Program development will be enhanced by a diverse advisory panel of parents, preadolescents, key stakeholders (e.g., schools, community-based organizations), and expert consultants. The second aim of this project is to conduct a feasibility study of MAP- Tween in which a diverse sample of parent-child pairs (preadolescents ages 9-12 and their parent/guardian; N=300) are randomly assigned to either the intervention group (receive MAP-Tween) or an active control group (review online PDFs of medically accurate information on preadolescent development). Parents and tweens will complete pre-post assessments, which will provide a preliminary test of program effectiveness for positively affecting outcomes. It is hypothesized that this program will enhance parental media mediation and parent-child communication frequency and quality, and in turn, positively impact preadolescent health-related outcomes. This project shifts the prevention paradigm to focus on the early antecedents of sexual and relationship health and sexual violence and fills a gap in evidence-based programs for parents of preadolescents to help them engage in high-quality communication with their child about these important topics. MAP-Tween will be the only evidence-based parent program that explicitly addresses the influence of media on preadolescent health. The program uses highly interactive web-based functionality that allows for a customized user experience including the ability for parents to select specific program content and “post” it to a section of the program for their children to access and develop a customized family media plan. This project would evaluate preliminary effectiveness and feasibility of MAP-Tween and determine if a future larger-scale study with mediator and moderator analyses and longer-term follow-ups is warranted.

抽象的 青春期前是一个关键的发展窗口，在此期间，与性别角色相关的信念和行为， 外貌理想、浪漫关系和性的采用，影响近端和远端健康 父母在塑造孩子的信念和行为方面具有影响力，而高质量的父母- 儿童沟通可以作为改善青少年健康结果的保护因素。 经常难以与孩子就这些话题进行有效沟通，尤其是在家庭内部 对于青春期前的青少年来说，媒体是性别和性的社交媒介，并且 他们收到的关于外表、性别角色、人际关系和性别的信息往往是刻板印象， 不现实且不准确。父母可以减轻媒体对孩子的潜在有害影响。 通过家长媒体调解，以及利用媒体素养教育（MLE）的育儿计划 该项目的首要目标是创建 MAP-Tween，一个网络- 旨在为青春期前儿童的父母提供媒体调解技能、知识的基础计划 青春期前的发展，以及关于青春期和青春期的高质量亲子沟通实践 性发展、性别定型观念、关系和性别将得到加强。 由家长、青春期前儿童、主要利益相关者（例如学校、社区）组成的多元化咨询小组 该项目的第二个目标是进行 MAP 的可行性研究。 吐温，其中有不同的亲子对样本（9-12 岁的青春期前儿童及其父母/监护人； N=300）被随机分配到干预组（接受 MAP-Tween）或主动对照组 小组（查看有关青春期前发育的医学准确信息的在线 PDF）。 补间将完成事前评估，这将对方案的有效性进行初步测试 该计划将加强家长媒体的调解和积极影响结果。 亲子沟通的频率和质量，进而对青春期前的健康相关产生积极影响 该项目改变了预防范式，将重点放在性行为和性行为的早期前因上。 关系健康和性暴力，并填补了针对父母的循证计划的空白 帮助他们与孩子就这些重要的事情进行高质量的沟通 MAP-Tween 将是唯一一个明确解决以下影响的基于证据的家长计划。 该计划使用高度互动的基于网络的功能，可以提供有关青春期前健康的媒体。 定制的用户体验，包括家长选择特定节目内容并将其“发布”到 该计划的一部分供他们的孩子访问和制定定制的家庭媒体计划。 将评估 MAP-Tween 的初步有效性和可行性，并确定未来是否更大规模 有必要进行中介和调节分析以及长期随访的研究。
