Self-concept clarity, the extent to which various aspects of the self are clearly and confidently defined, may facilitate self-control and could be promoted by high-quality parental attachment. This study collected two waves of questionnaire data at a six-month interval and investigated the longitudinal association of parent-adolescent attachment with self-control, further revealing the mediating role of self-concept clarity in a large sample of 2,539 Chinese adolescents (<em>M</em>_age = 17.27, <em>SD</em> = 0.85; 1,399 girls). Correlation analysis showed that greater attachment security with parents was associated with higher self-concept clarity and self-control. Cross-lagged path analysis demonstrated reciprocal relationships between secure attachment (to both mother and father) and self-control over time. Moreover, cross-lagged mediation models revealed that self-concept clarity played a mediating role in the relationship between parental attachment and self-control. Overall, the present findings indicate that parent-adolescent attachment and self-control mutually influence each other over time, with self-concept clarity partly explaining this reciprocal relationship. These findings advance a better understanding of the reciprocal relationship between parent-adolescent interactions and the development of self-regulation in adolescence, and highlight the importance of family education for fostering parent-adolescent attachment relationships and interventions for improving self-concept clarity in promoting adolescents’ self-control.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 108614"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145221389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenological study, based on interviews, focuses on the experiences of young women leaving residential care programs in Catalonia, Spain. Findings reveal that the support offered is perceived as insufficient and discontinuous, mostly focused on technical skills, while omitting emotional and social factors that are crucial for overall development. Shortcomings in support systems, revealed by a lack of comprehensive, personalized policies, can lead to institutional abandonment and further victimization. These deficiencies, worsened by the high turnover of care staff and the resulting lack of continuity in support, hinder the young women’s autonomy and emotional wellbeing in their transition to adult life. It is concluded that a caring approach should be adopted not only for aid and direct intervention, but also as a principle guiding the young women’s departure from care in order to counteract the hasty, unstructured processes of transition to adulthood that continue to mark their lives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 108611"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145221388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this cross-sectional study, we determined the relations between participation in volunteering and social outcomes of adolescents across the United States. Adult-reported quantitative data representative of adolescents ages 12–17 across the United States (n = 36,293) originated from the 2022–2023 National Survey of Children’s Health. We specified separate logistic regression models (n = 4) to assess the associations between participation in volunteering and difficulty making or keeping friends, being bullied, bullying others, and behavior or conduct problems, adjusting for characteristics of adolescents and their household. In the adolescent sample, 46 % participated in volunteering, 28 % had difficulty making or keeping friends, 34 % had been bullied, 12 % had bullied others, and 7 % had behavior or conduct problems. Modeling results showed that volunteering was associated with lower odds of difficulty making or keeping friends and behavior or conduct problems in adolescents. Results provide evidence for volunteering as a potential solution for the health-related social outcomes of loneliness and isolation experienced by adolescents in the United States. Participation in volunteering and the associated social benefits suggest volunteering may be a win–win, wherein youth help others and help themselves.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 108612"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145221386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three overarching themes are identified in relation to understanding risk and resilience among children working in the entertainment sector: (1) Risk factors: poverty, abuse and aspirations for a better life; (2) The failure of protective factors; and (3) Resilience in adverse circumstances: the ways in which children manage, negotiate and cope with, and obtain support that fosters resilience.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>The paper argues that analysis of risk and resilience should be central to the child trafficking discourse.

Drawing on nationally and state representative data from the 2019 and 2020 National Survey of Children’s Health, our analysis focused on a sample of 2,233 children ages 0–11 and their parents in immigrant households with income below 200% of the federal poverty threshold. Regression analyses were used to investigate whether a measure of state-level immigrant safety-net inclusivity (i.e., index of 12 state-funded public benefit policies) predicted family access to resources, child health and well-being, and parent physical and mental health. Analyses controlled for multiple child, parent, household, community, and state-level characteristics, and included appropriate sampling weights. Similar to other scholars, we found that immigrant families living in more inclusive states received more means-tested public assistance programs, were more likely to be food secure and have adequate and continuous child health insurance coverage and were less likely to experience financial struggles and forgo necessary healthcare for their child. Immigrant families living in states with more inclusive safety net policies were less likely to report poor child physical health, child anxiety problems, and child behavioral problems and reported higher levels of child flourishing. Fewer significant associations were found for parent outcomes; inclusive state policies were associated with a lower likelihood of poor physical health among mothers. Together, these findings join other work highlighting the potential role of more immigrant-inclusive safety net programs in promoting health and well-being for children and families.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 108592"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145159241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Show Me Strong Kids (SMSK) is a statewide health initiative in which academic pediatricians collaborate with local physicians and leaders in under-resourced communities to create community coalitions for child health. The two core components of SMSK include a local roundtable of community leaders and a forum for community members to pose questions to child health experts. This mixed-methods study is a process evaluation of SMSK across four outcomes: fidelity (adherence), recruitment, indicators of maintenance, and contextual factors related to implementation. Data were collected from internal SMSK documentation, public health records, and key informant interviews. Quantitative data were used to calculate a composite health needs index for the state of Missouri. Qualitative data were coded using an inductive thematic approach. Eight communities received program delivery. Implementation fidelity was mixed, as only 62.5% of sites were rural and 37.5% considered high-need areas, which differed from the planned activities. Of the communities selected, 50% implemented pediatric-focused community health projects (three rural, one urban), though the scope and health focus of each project varied by community. Key informant interviews identified five major themes for successful implementation: availability of health care providers, engagement of physician champions, community trust, local leader collaboration, and ongoing support. Regarding collaboration, SMSK teams identified duplicative and underutilized resources across communities, which facilitated more streamlined child health initiatives. SMSK’s success in under-resourced communities depended on enthusiastic local physicians and adequate buy-in from local community leaders.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 108595"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145221392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Content analysis was used to analyse the data with four emerging major themes: Relationship to perpetrator (who); Context of the sexual abuse (how and where); Recipients of the disclosure; and Barriers to disclosure. The findings showed that the perpetrator was mostly a relative, the abuse mostly occurred at home but also likely to occur in other settings. Victims tend to disclose the abuse experience to a female figure or guardian and to peers. Barriers to disclosure reported in the study include fear of blame, family reaction, and fear of the perpetrator. The findings demonstrate children are at risk anywhere and there is the need to put in measures that ensure the safety of children. Although children may want to disclose the abuse, they are sensitive to how they will be perceived by significant others hence do not disclose.

In the 31 included articles, initiatives were located in seventeen states and New York was the most frequently represented. The majority of articles described initiatives as originating out of an identified system need. The children’s diagnosis and evidence-based practice most frequently addressed were trauma and TF-CBT. Training activities varied widely. Eligibility criteria for participating also varied, and incentives were reported in less than half of the articles.
