Remarkably little is known about factors related to parenting and child outcomes among Latina adolescent mothers. Understanding these factors is critical in light of the fact that the birth rate for Latino youth is substantially larger than that for any other group, and Latinos are the largest and fastest growing minority group in the US. The aims of this proposal are to test 1) direct and moderated (by residential context) relations between different types of supports provided by the adolescents' mothers (grandmothers) and partners and the quality of parenting displayed by young mainland Puerto Rican mothers; 2) how indices of parenting are related to changes in children's cognitive and emotional/behavioral outcomes during early childhood; and 3) how acculturation level moderates the above relations. The study examines the above associations among families with children in their second year of life (18ms & 24ms) as adverse cognitive and emotional/behavioral difficulties start to emerge during this time. It uses a multi-method, longitudinal design to examine maternal behavior and child outcomes among 180 English- and Spanish-speaking Puerto Rican adolescent mothers and their children. Data are gathered at the participants' home. The role of support is studied in terms of sources of support (grandmothers & partners), types of supports (social support & child care support), and the residential and cultural context in which the support is embedded (coresidence with support provider; acculturation level). Acculturation is assessed in terms of language use / preference and values. Indices of parenting quality are obtained through observer ratings of maternal behavior and teaching strategies during 4 mother-child interaction episodes videotaped in the mothers' homes. Children's cognitive and emotional/behavioral outcomes are measured by a standardized cognitive assessment, maternal reports of child emotional/behavioral problems, and observer ratings of child responsiveness, positive and negative affect, and compliance during mother- child interactions. This research will allow the PI to test a portion of a model of parenting she developed to account for both the developmental stage and the unique cultural and socio-demographic ecology of Latina adolescent mothers in the U.S. Findings will aid in the identification of universal and culture-specific factors related to parenting and child developmental processes among Puerto Rican adolescent mothers, contribute to our conceptual understanding of what constitutes optimal parenting among Latina mothers of different acculturation levels, and help uncover factors related to successful outcomes among children of Latina adolescent mothers.

关于与拉丁裔的育儿和子女成果有关的因素，知之甚少 青春期母亲。鉴于拉丁裔的出生率，了解这些因素至关重要 年轻人比其他任何群体都大得多，拉丁美洲人是最大，最快的成长 美国的少数群体。该提案的目的是测试1）直接和调节（通过住宅 背景）青少年母亲（祖母）提供的不同类型的支持之间的关系 伴侣以及年轻的波多黎各母亲展示的育儿质量； 2）索引 育儿的养育与早期儿童的认知和情感/行为结果的变化有关 童年; 3）适应水平如何缓和上述关系。 该研究检查了上述儿童在第二年生命的家庭之间的联系 （18ms和24ms）作为不利的认知和情感/行为困难，在此期间开始出现。它 使用多方法，纵向设计来检查180中的产妇行为和儿童结果 英语和西班牙语的波多黎各青少年母亲及其子女。数据收集在 参与者的家。支持支持的作用是根据支持来源（祖母和 合作伙伴），支持类型（社会支持和儿童保育支持）以及在 支持嵌入的支持（带有支持提供者的核心；适应水平）。适应是 根据语言使用 /偏好和价值评估。获得育儿质量的指标 通过观察者在4个母子互动期间的孕产妇行为和教学策略的评分 情节在母亲的家中进行了录像。儿童的认知和情感/行为成果是 通过标准化的认知评估来衡量，孕产妇的情感/行为问题的报告， 以及观察者对儿童反应能力，积极和负面影响以及母亲依从性的评价 儿童互动。 这项研究将使PI可以测试她开发的育儿模型的一部分，以说明 发育阶段以及拉丁裔青少年独特的文化和社会人口统计学生态学 美国的母亲的发现将有助于识别与 波多黎各青少年母亲之间的育儿和儿童发展过程，为我们的 对不同的拉丁母亲的最佳育儿的概念理解 适应水平，并有助于发现与拉丁裔儿童成功结局有关的因素 青春期母亲。
