The Parent Support Partner (PSP) Outcome Tool was developed to evaluate a statewide parent-to-parent service for families of children presenting severe emotional and behavioral challenges. This study explored the factor structure and reliability of the PSP Outcome Tool. Participants were 1,502 Medicaid-eligible parents of children between the ages of 5–19 with SED (82%), I/DD (12%), or both SED and I/DD (5%) who enrolled in and participated in PSP Services across the state of Michigan from 2017 to 2020. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor solution (Bridging Collaborative Relationships, Empowerment, Navigating Resources). Cronbach’s alpha was high (0.95) for the resulting 23-item outcome tool, and the three factors (i.e. Bridging Collaborative Relationships = 0.91, Empowerment = 0.90, Navigating Resources = 0.84). The factor structure of the scale and the need to establish additional validity support (i.e. predictive, convergent, divergent validity) for its use with diverse groups of parents are discussed.","PeriodicalId":46101,"journal":{"name":"Vulnerable Children and Youth Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":"143 - 148"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48832517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8, Target 8.6 aimed to substantially reduce the proportion of NEET by 2020. This study aims to find out if the SDG’s target of substantially reducing NEET by 2020 was fulfilled in Africa. If not, what are the factors affecting NEET in Africa? Descriptive statistics, Ordinary Least Squares and Two-Stage Least Square methods have been used. Results indicate that Africa stalls behind and is far from reducing NEET. Self-employment is the highest employer of youths and conversely exacerbates the rates of NEET. Gender parity index, access to the internet and irrigation services reduce NEET rates. Good institutional quality is critical because institutions are policymakers and service providers. Policies should support literacy, entrepreneurial and digital skills training to boost self-employment. Child marriage should be prohibited. Youths can be supported by securing funds from indirect taxes. Policymakers should work closely with youths to understand their needs and capacities.","PeriodicalId":46101,"journal":{"name":"Vulnerable Children and Youth Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":"298 - 308"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45439085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Socio-demographics, body height, body weight during the Movement Control Order 3.0 (MCO 3.0), and post-lockdown body weight (as of January 2022) were self-reported by the young adults. Psychological distress was assessed using a validated 21-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Of the 536 young adults, 54.1% experienced mild to extremely severe anxiety, 47.0% suffered mild to extremely severe depression, and 30.0% experienced mild to extremely severe stress in the post-lockdown pandemic phase. In reference to absolute weight change, 50.6% of the young adults gained weight due to confinement, with an average weight gain of 3.41 ± 2.49 kg. Conversely, 32.0% of the young adults had a lighter weight during the MCO 3.0 than before, with an average weight loss of 3.96 ± 2.76 kg. Additionally, the trajectory in body weight was also expressed in relative weight change. Findings revealed that 23.1% of the young adults gained weight in the post-lockdown pandemic phase, with an average relative weight gain of 9.04 ± 3.90%. On the contrary, approximately one-fifth (17.4%) of the young adults lost weight, with an average relative weight loss of −8.57 ± 2.79%. There were no significant correlations (p> 0.05) between depression, anxiety, and stress with absolute or relative weight change, even after controlling for the socio-demographic variation among young adults. The federal government of Malaysia should take necessary actions to alleviate the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and reiterate the importance of sustaining a healthy body weight in young adults.","PeriodicalId":46101,"journal":{"name":"Vulnerable Children and Youth Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":"242 - 251"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47517293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted among a calculated random sample of 120 PKU children attending a primary health care center in Cairo. A structured interview questionnaire included the QOL assessment tool ‘PedsQL questionnaire’ while the impact of the dietary plan on the family’s daily life was inquired upon utilizing the ‘PKU-QOL questionnaire’. Our results revealed a positive history of similar cases (PKU) in the family reported by 35 cases (29.1%). QOL was very high in children under 5 years and tended to decrease afterward. Children aged five years or more had low scores in all QOL domains. Dietary management of PKU represented a financial burden on nearly two-thirds of families. Parents of PKU children face difficulties in the management of dietary protein restriction; this includes (feeling sad about dietary restriction, worrying that the child might secretly eat forbidden food, and calculating the allowed protein in their children’s diet) and they also suffer from the daily expenses of PKU diet.","PeriodicalId":46101,"journal":{"name":"Vulnerable Children and Youth Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":"282 - 297"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45425546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With funding from the DREAMS initiative in Africa, a multi-component, community-based intervention was designed to optimize AGYW’s abilities to care for themselves. From 2016 to 2019, the Uganda Youth Development Link established the DREAMS Initiative for Rural Communities in 10 rural sites in the Bukomansimbi, Gomba, and Ssembabule Districts, at which n = 8620 AGYW engaged in vocational training, cognitive-behavioral preventive interventions addressing HIV risk, interpersonal partner violence, substance abuse prevention, parenting classes, and recreational activities. Existing community leaders linked AGYW to these programs. Surveys at recruitment and two years later evaluated the program and assessed its impact on AGYW. AGYW reported multiple risk histories: 41.5% engaged in transactional sex (typically with two past partners); 30.3% were mothers; and 42.5% used alcohol often. There was high uptake of each program component: 89% completed vocational training; 61% received family planning services; 78% were tested for HIV (1% seropositive). Two years post intervention, 70% of those who had learnt to be a tailor were still working; 33% of those who had been trained in hair dressing. Multi-component interventions are required to address the multiple challenges experienced by AGYW. The broad range of experiences within each community allows multiple entry points to care and tailored programming for AGYW.","PeriodicalId":46101,"journal":{"name":"Vulnerable Children and Youth Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":"195 - 206"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59913062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much attention has been reserved to sibling relationships when one shows ASD symptoms. The purpose of the current study was to examine the mutual influences between ASD-TD siblings’ emotional and behavioral characteristics, as evaluated by mothers, and the different dimensions of the sibling relationship through the lens of the behavioral system model. Specifically, the role of ASD-TD siblings’ emotional and behavioral functioning on sibling relationship was investigated. We hypothesized that the presence of internalizing and externalizing behaviors in ASD-TD siblings may be associated with less support, more negative interactions, and conflict in the sibling relationship. The sample included 59 ASD-TD siblings (35 M and 24 F; age range: 11–18 years, M = 14.20, SD = 1.52) of adolescents with ASD and their mothers. Behavioral and emotional characteristics of ASD-TD siblings showed significant associations with sibling relationship dimensions. Specifically, support was negatively and significantly related to externalizing behavior, whereas conflict was positively related to internalizing behavior. Additionally, externalizing and internalizing behaviors showed a predictive role: Externalizing behavior emerged as a significant negative predictor of support and internalizing behavior emerged as a significant positive predictor of negative interaction.","PeriodicalId":46101,"journal":{"name":"Vulnerable Children and Youth Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":"169 - 181"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48927260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
