Hemmings, Rosemarie. "Teen Dating Violence: Co-Occurrence with Bullying among African American Teens in South Florida." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/2930.

Abstract:
Teen dating violence and bullying are major public health concerns but are preventable. Both dating violence and bullying occur within similar social context and the prevalence of teen dating violence was highest for African American teens as reported on the 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). Social learning theory provides a foundation for understanding and changing behavior related to dating violence victimization and bully victimization. The research questions focused on relationships between bully and teen dating violence victimization when controlling for race/ethnicity, gender, substance abuse, age, and age of first sexual intercourse. Additionally, the potential mediating variable of spending time with a parent was tested. This was a quantitative study using archival data from Palm Beach County YRBS of 2,376 public high school students in the spring of 2013. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Chi-square, multivariate regression analysis, Conditional PROCESS, and Games Howell Post Hoc tests were conducted. Results for this study showed a relationship between race, gender, substance abuse, age, and age of first sexual intercourse and the likelihood of the co-occurrence of being a victim of teen dating violence and bullying. Additionally, spending time with a parent mediated the relationship between experiencing teen dating violence and bully victimization. This study has implications for positive social change through its potential change in the landscape of prevention programs that target teens, which may decrease victimization and improve the longevity of healthy social and intimate relationships.

Braxton, Juanita. "Health Care Provider Perceptions of High Blood Pressure Screening for Asymptomatic African American Teens." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/3021.

Full text
Abstract:
Health care provider perceptions of typical practices play a significant role in evaluating the efficacy of screening and diagnosis of teen high blood pressure in African Americans. African American adults are more likely to develop high blood pressure than are any other ethnic group; however, there is a gap in the literature concerning high blood pressure in teens. Approximately 1 to 5 of every 100 children has high blood pressure. This purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the perspectives of health care providers on high blood pressure screening and diagnosis of African American asymptomatic teens. The health belief model (HBM) was the conceptual framework used to describe how beliefs and attitudes influence provider high blood pressure screening. Purposive sampling resulted in 9 health care providers (8 pediatricians and 1family medicine physician), who completed a hypertension survey and individual interview. Data were coded and analyzed using thematic analysis. Atlas.ti was used for data management. Theoretical saturation was reached after 9 interviews. Emergent themes included observations from the participants that the absence of initial standardized high blood pressure screening for teens is a significant problem and that age-appropriate high blood pressure resources are not used consistently. Study results contribute to social change by providing an opportunity for heightened awareness and education among health care providers in teen high blood pressure screening and diagnosis processing. Ongoing education and research may engender proactive steps to develop universal guidelines, tools and practices to consistently and accurately detect high blood pressure in teens.

Clarke-Williams, Cassandra. "Familial Factors Predicting Attitudes Toward Domestic Violence in African American Adolescents." ScholarWorks, 2017. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/4131.

Abstract:
Teen dating violence is more prevalent among African Americans than any other racial group in the United States leading to serious health consequences for victims. However, limited data exists on how African American adolescents' attitudes and perceptions regarding dating violence are formed, and whether they are influenced by family members. The purpose of this nonexperimental correlational study was to determine whether nonverbal or verbal communication from family members predicted adolescents' attitudes and perceptions toward dating violence. Survey data from 84 African American men and women ages 18 to 24 were collected using the Normative Beliefs About Aggression Scale, the Acceptance of Couple Violence Scale, the Revised Family Communication Patterns Questionnaire, and a demographic questionnaire. Although past studies have shown that communication related to dating violence is important because it is essential to adolescents understanding and finding ways of coping with violence, this study could not confirm that conversation orientation, conformity orientation, discussion of dating violence, conversation types, facial expressions, hand gestures, and direct verbal communication were significant predictors of approval of aggression. In future research, conducting a mixed methods study or using a larger age range could provide more understanding about adolescents' attitudes and perceptions related to dating violence. Additionally, research on behaviors outside of the modes of communication measured in this study, is warranted. This study contributes to social change by helping to fill a gap in the research literature pertaining to African American teen dating violence and attitudes toward approval of aggression. Future researchers can use the results of this study to help formulate new research on this topic.

Scott, Lakia Maria. "The Black college experience| What does it mean to African American teens? A descriptive case study investigating student perceptions and its influence on college choice and HBCU student enrollment." Thesis, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3636164.

Abstract:
<p> Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) continue to represent a great legacy in the history of education for African Americans; however, these institutions are faced with contemporary challenges that include: declining Black enrollment, financial constraints, and questions concerning the value an HBCU degree holds. Research illustrates how HBCUs are academically and culturally accommodating for Black students (Albritton, 2012; Fountaine, 2012; Fries-Britt &amp; Turner, 2002; Outcalt &amp; Skewes-Cox, 2002; Thompson, 2008), but when deciding on which college to attend, high schoolers give more consideration to financial access and prestige, and less to the development or affirmation of racial identities (Braddock &amp; Hua, 2006; Fleming, 1984; Freeman &amp; Thomas, 2002; Tobolowsky, Outcalt, &amp; McDonough, 2005). The current scope of literature fails to recognize Black high school students' perspectives on electing to attend an HBCU (Dancy &amp; Brown, 2008; Davis, 2004; Dillon, 1999; Freeman, 1999). Critical Race Afrocentricity provides a lens to examine how HBCUs serve as a historical and contemporary marker for educational opportunity among Black college students in a time where the concept of race is seemingly not a determinant in college selectivity. This study examines the perspectives of 13 Black college-bound high school students in regards to attending an HBCU. Since there is a slight decline in Black enrollment at HBCUs, it is necessary to examine the contemporary role HBCUs will serve for future generations of Black students. Findings of the study indicate that Black teens recognize the intellectual, cultural, and social value in attending an HBCU; however, they feel that factors such as financial affordability and academic reputation are more pertinent factors in college selectivity. Furthermore, there is a need for future research to examine the participants' perspectives (as teens aspiring to attend college) to their collegiate experiences.</p>

Abstract:
Intergenerational adolescent pregnancy is of paramount concern to the African-American community. This study focused on intergenerational adolescent pregnancy, in the African-American community. Female members of African-American families who had experienced intergenerational adolescent pregnancy were interview using the McGoldrick & Gerson genogram interview (1985). The results indicate that while adolescent pregnancy occurs in successive generations, the motivations and expectations of each participant were different. These differences can be partially attributed to generational issues, although personal differences cannot be ignored. While more research is needed, it is clear that one size fits all social programs are inadequate to meet the diverse needs of this population. Professionals involved in this area need to seriously reconsider their assumptions as to the cause and effect of adolescent pregnancy in the African-American community. Reconsideration of old assumptions may fuel positive design and structural changes in the conception and delivery of social services to this population.

Abstract:
The overall objective of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in African-American pregnant and non-pregnant teenagers perceived impact of teen pregnancy on self and significant other. To attain this objective, the following factors were addressed by the researcher: (1) parents' income, (2) attitude toward premarital sex, (3) attitude toward teen pregnancy, (4) family relationship, (5) peer relationship, (6) relationship with mother, and (7) importance of religion. This was a comparative study. Subjects were 10 pregnant adolescent females and 10 never pregnant females, ages 14 through 19, who attended North Clayton High School, in College Park, GA. A structured questionnaire was administered. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and are reported in terms of frequency and percentage. Cross tabulations were used to compare the relationship of the two groups. The results showed that for this sample population premarital sex and teenage pregnancy are regarded as personal choices. Regardless of income, family relationships, or importance of religion, adolescents tended to express a high level of social tolerance for both. The hypothesis that there is no significant difference in African-American pregnant teenagers versus non-pregnant teenagers perceived impact of teen pregnancy on self and significant others was rejected.

Abstract:
<p>Teen dating violence greatly differs from Adult interpersonal violence and as such should be viewed from a biopsychosocial lens. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between substance use and teen dating violence among Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino youth. A quantitative study was conducted with 24 youth attending an alternative charter high school in an urban city. The majority of the participants engaged in substance use with more than half using two or more substances within the past 30 days. Psychological teen dating violence was the most reported type of victimization and perpetration. Implications for social work and future research are discussed.

Martin-Lyon, Preston. "Teen Mothers' Perceptions of Medicalization and the Patient/Provider Relationship." VCU Scholars Compass, 2005. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/696.

Abstract:
Within the past twenty years, a great deal of research has addressed pregnancy and childbirth in the United States. Often, however, prior studies have focused on white middle-class women and have neglected the experiences of women of color and low-income women. Teen mothers have also been marginalized in past research. With few exceptions, the limited research that does exist on African American teen mothers is usually framed around the "teen pregnancy crisis" in the U.S; seldom are teens included in studies dealing with the overall issue of medicalization. In an effort to understand the extent to which the medical model of childbirth shapes teens' understandings and experiences of prenatal care, this paper analyzes in-depth interviews with 40 pregnant or parenting African American adolescents attending a Teen Parenting Program. The analysis focuses on teens' accounts of their experiences with the patient provider relationship and their interpretations of and responses to the medicalization of pregnancy and birth contextualized in teens' encounters with medical providers during pregnancy. Overall, the adolescents accepted the medical model of pregnancy and childbirth. There were, however, acts of resistance and defiance of medical authority.

Abstract:
The United States has the highest rates of teenage pregnancies, births, abortions, and sexually transmitted infections in the industrialized world. African American teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections are on the rise in many rural southwest school districts in the State of Georgia where the sex education curriculum is nonexistent or solely focuses on abstinence. Georgia ranked 4th in cases of primary and secondary syphilis, 6th in AIDS, 12th in gonorrhea, 14th in teen pregnancies, and 17th in chlamydia in the United States in 2012. The purpose of this qualitative study was to evaluate the perceptions of residents of a primarily African American rural southwest Georgia community regarding the importance of sex education and their knowledge of the school district's sex education curriculum. It specifically investigated abstinence-only sexual education using Bronfenbrenner's ecological learning theory. Study participants (n = 25) were African American youths in 9th grade, their parents, school officials, religious leaders, policymakers, and health advocates. The research questions were designed to investigate participants' knowledge of sexual health and effective sex education curricula for their school district. Data were collected from the participants via semi-structured interviews. MAXQDA 11.1 software was used for thematic analysis of transcribed interviews. The findings demonstrated community support for a comprehensive sex education curriculum and the need for a new paradigm in social policy that suggests initiatives should be evidence-based to achieve maximum efficacy in policy analysis. The study provides a baseline for school officials to assess community opinions regarding the acceptance of a comprehensive sex education curriculum.

Abstract:
Parent-teen sex conversations reduce Black adolescents’ HIV/STI risk. Nationally, most studies about Black teens’ sexual risk behaviors omit Afro-Caribbean groups whom are disproportionately burdened by HIV/STIs. Therefore, this exploratory study guided by the PEN-3 model (a) characterized the nature, perceptions, enablers, and nurturers of sexuality conversations between Haitian and Jamaican parents and adolescents and (b) explained the relationship between sexuality conversations and adolescent sexual activity. Using narrative inquiry, 6 Haitian and 8 Jamaican mother-teen dyads’ and triads’ (N=31) experiences were used to characterize the nature, perceptions, enablers, and nurturers of parent-teen sex conversations. Thematic content analysis generated common themes. In phase two, Black adolescents (African American, Haitian, and Jamaican) N=157, completed a validated 52-item questionnaire. Scales included ASAI; measuring recent pre-coital and coital activities; FSCQ measuring families’ orientation towards sex-conversations, and PTSRC-III measuring sexual topics discussed with each parent. Linear and logistic regression determined the relationship between parent-teen sex conversations and teens’ sexual activity. Mothers’ mean age was (41.85±5.50) and teens’ mean age was (16±1.31). Qualitative findings suggest that Afro-Caribbean mothers’ limited childhood and adolescent sex conversations and outcomes of those interactions shaped mothers’ existing attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors about sexual topics, and hindered their ability to discuss sex with their teens. Dyads believed modifying parents’ approach, improving parents’ sexual health knowledge, and increasing families’ comfort with sex- conversations would improve sexual discussions. Survey participants’ mean age was (16±1.49) and mean age of penile-vaginal/anal sexual debut was (14.95±1.71). Twenty percent of sexually active teens had their first parent-teen sex conversation after penile-vaginal/anal sexual debut, p=.01, and 27% after penile-oral/vaginal-oral sexual debut, p=.001. Haitians had lower comfort with family-sex conversations than African Americans, p=.03 and Jamaicans, p=.004. African American teens’ higher comfort for family-sex conversations was predictive of delayed penile-vaginal/anal sexual debut, p=.009 and virginity, OR=1.5, 95% CI [1.154, 1.866]. Teens who never spoke to their fathers about protection from HIV/STI were four times more likely OR= 4.41, 95% CI [1.466, 13.30] to not use condoms. In summary, culturally-responsive, family focused interventions are needed to equip Afro-Caribbean parents for sex conversations with their teens in order to reduce teens’ sexual risk.

Abstract:
With increasing teenage pregnancy rates among Blacks in the United States and the negative impact on families, it is important that practitioners and communities acknowledge the changes in society. According to the research, the influence of the media, entertainment industry and technology weigh heavily on the behavior and interactions of teens. Building on Erikson’s Theory of Identity Development, sexual scripts which are drawn from hip-hop culture are utilized as points of entrance and tools for reeducating Black adolescents and preventing teenage pregnancy. Finally, intervention and prevention strategies that educate teenage girls around sexual scripts and utilize personal narratives are essential to reducing teen pregnancy are presented.<br>text

Little, Erin. "Characteristics of African American Adolescent Females Who Use Emergency Contraception." 2015. http://scholarworks.gsu.edu/iph_theses/383.

Abstract:
Unintended pregnancy remains to be a public health priority for adolescents as there are a myriad of negative social and developmental consequences for both young mothers and their children. The goal of this study was to examine associations of individual-level determinants of health with sexual risk behaviors and protective factors among a sample of African American female adolescents. African American adolescent females were recruited from sexual health clinics to participate in a cross-sectional survey at 18 months post-participation in a STD/HIV prevention trial. Surveys were administered using Audio Computer Assisted Self Interview (ACASI). Statistical analyses were run to determine associations of protective and sexual risk behaviors with age, education, household income status, sexual history, other contraception use and knowledge of emergency contraception (EC). A total of 410 surveys were included in the analyses. (N=410; mean age=19.06) Almost sixteen percent (n=65) of participants reported ever using emergency contraception. Bivariate analyses indicated that EC use among African American female adolescents was significantly associated with age, education level, job status, receipt of government assistance, age at first sex, knowledge of EC availability and number of average condom errors. The findings in this study are consistent with previous studies exploring social determinants and their relationship to sexual health practices among high risk populations. The findings of this study could be used to design effective pregnancy prevention initiatives including EC education and promotion targeting specific segments of the African American adolescent female population that may be at a greater risk for unintended pregnancies.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Human Papillomavirus is the most common STI in United States and is most prevalent among the adolescents and young adults. HPV causes cervical, anal, vulvar, vaginal, penile, oropharyngeal cancers and ano-genital warts. Certain populations are found to be at higher risk such as African Americans. 3 doses of HPV vaccine are recommended to adolescents before sexual debut to immunize against HPV. The purpose of this study was to assess the factors associated with the completion of 3 dose HPV vaccination series particularly among the African American adolescents. Methods: National Immunization Survey – Teen 2012 data was used to assess the association of selected factors with the completion of 3 dose HPV vaccination series among the African American adolescents. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression was conducted. Results: Factors, gender, age and maternal education are associated with the completion of HPV vaccination series among the African American adolescents. The Black females are 5 times more likely to complete the HPV vaccination than males. The 15 year olds are thrice more likely to complete the HPV vaccination than 13 year olds. Adolescents with maternal education higher than high school are twice more likely to complete the HPV vaccination series. Conclusion: Among the African American adolescents, socio-demographic factors influence the completion of HPV vaccine series. This study provides a direction to public health practices to focus on Black male adolescents and subpopulations with low maternal education to improve HPV vaccination in US.
