Pediatrics : Parental Monitoring: Association With Adolescents' Risk
Behaviors
Contemporary threats to adolescents' health are primarily the consequence
of risk behaviors and their related adverse outcomes. Identifying factors
associated with adolescents' risk behaviors is critical for developing effective
prevention strategies. A number of risk factors have been identified, including
familial environment; however, few studies have examined the impact of parental
monitoring. This is a link to an abstract containing primary literature
from Dr. Diclemente. Institutions and individuals with a subscription can
access the full text.
