Book Description
The present study did not find evidence that discrepancies in family members' perceptions of family relations are related to adolescent depressive symptoms among chronically ill adolescents. However, multiple regression analyses, conducted separately by racial group, revealed that adolescent perception of family cohesion was the only significant predictor of adolescent depressive symptoms for both groups. Additionally, adolescent perception of family conflict was the only significant predictor of White American adolescent depressive symptoms. These findings suggest that adolescent perception of family cohesion may be an important factor in adolescent adjustment among African American and White American adolescents living with a chronic illness and that perceptions of family conflict may be an important factor in the occurrence of adolescent depressive symptoms among White American adolescents. These findings provide support for examining family relations and adolescent depressive symptoms separately by race as suggested by the Difference Model research approach.

Book Description
Depression is a widespread condition affecting approximately 7.5 million parents in the U.S. each year and may be putting at least 15 million children at risk for adverse health outcomes. Based on evidentiary studies, major depression in either parent can interfere with parenting quality and increase the risk of children developing mental, behavioral and social problems. Depression in Parents, Parenting, and Children highlights disparities in the prevalence, identification, treatment, and prevention of parental depression among different sociodemographic populations. It also outlines strategies for effective intervention and identifies the need for a more interdisciplinary approach that takes biological, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and social contexts into consideration. A major challenge to the effective management of parental depression is developing a treatment and prevention strategy that can be introduced within a two-generation framework, conducive for parents and their children. Thus far, both the federal and state response to the problem has been fragmented, poorly funded, and lacking proper oversight. This study examines options for widespread implementation of best practices as well as strategies that can be effective in diverse service settings for diverse populations of children and their families. The delivery of adequate screening and successful detection and treatment of a depressive illness and prevention of its effects on parenting and the health of children is a formidable challenge to modern health care systems. This study offers seven solid recommendations designed to increase awareness about and remove barriers to care for both the depressed adult and prevention of effects in the child. The report will be of particular interest to federal health officers, mental and behavioral health providers in diverse parts of health care delivery systems, health policy staff, state legislators, and the general public.

Book Description
Economic hardship, in the form of family financial strain has been associated with distress in both parents and children. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects, of family financial strain on family relationship perceptions and adolescent depressed mood both cross-sectionally and prospectively. Structural equation modeling was utilized to elucidate family processes that were predictive of adolescent depressive mood. The cross-sectional results showed that family financial strain led to an increase in adolescents' depressive mood through an increase in parental depression and a decrease in nurturant parenting for father-daughter, mother-son, and mother-daughter dyads. For father-son dyads, fathers' depressed mood was directly related to adolescent sons' depressed mood. In father-daughter dyads family financial strain also directly led to a reduction in nurturant parenting.

Book Description
Abstract: This study examined the relationship between adolescents' problem behaviors and maternal depressive symptoms, and the moderating effect by adolescent gender on this relationship. The current study also assessed the relationship between maternal depressive symptoms and the family environment, above and beyond adolescents' problem behaviors and the interactive effects of gender. Data were collected from 137 mothers of runaway adolescents. The mothers reported on their children's internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors, cohesion and conflict in the family environment, as well as their own depressive symptoms. Results showed that the problem behaviors of adolescent girls were significantly associated with maternal depressive symptoms, while boys' problem behaviors were not. Results also showed that family cohesion was significantly related to maternal depressive symptoms above and beyond adolescent problem behaviors, whereas family conflict was not. These findings indicate that adolescent children's problem behaviors and mothers' perceptions of family environment might jointly contribute to maternal depressive symptoms, highlighting the potential utility of the family systems theoretical framework for understanding mothers' emotional problems in the family context.

Book Description
Chronic conditions and diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Europe, accounting for 86% of total premature deaths, and research suggests that complex conditions such as diabetes and depression will impose an even greater health burden in the future - and not only for the rich and elderly in high-income countries, but increasingly for the poor as well as low- and middle-income countries. The epidemiologic and economic analyses in the first part of the book suggest that policy-makers should make chronic disease a priority. This book highlights the issues and focuses on the strategies and interventions that policy-makers have at their disposal to tackle this increasing challenge. Strategic discussed in the second part of this volume include (1) prevention and early detection, (2) new provider qualifications (e.g. nurse practitioners) and settings, (3) disease management programmes and (4) integrated care models. But choosing the right strategies will be difficult, particularly given the limited evidence on effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. In the third part, the book therefore outlines and discusses institutional and organizational challenges for policy-makers and managers: (1) stimulating the development of new effective pharmaceuticals and medical devices, (2) designing appropriate financial incentives, (3) improving coordination, (4) using information and communication technology, and (5) ensuring evaluation. To tackle these challenges successfully, key policy recommendations are made.

Book Description
Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
