低收入家庭中的拉丁裔青年比同龄人更有可能出现教育和健康状况不佳的情况。保护性因素,如父母的支持,增加了青年成功的机会。社区学术伙伴关系使用社区为基础的参与性研究原则,以探讨在拉丁美洲年轻人在低收入households. METHODSSemi结构的定性访谈的看法,在2007年与拉丁美洲年轻人生活在城市低收入住房复杂(n=20),他们的父母(n=10);和当地社区组织的代表(n=8),探讨他们对青年“成功”的定义,以及成功的障碍和促进因素。访谈录音,转录,编码,并使用内容分析和扎根理论分析在2007.CARTTS参与者确定自我,家庭和社区因素作为潜在的支持来源。父母似乎不重视社区资源,表示成功主要来自孩子的个人愿望,并得到家庭支持。所有利益相关者群体认为同龄人更多的潜在障碍,以实现成功的潜在来源的support.CONCLUSIONSThese研究结果提出的可能性,在这个社区,低收入的拉丁裔父母对社区资源的信念可能会作为一个障碍,寻求家庭以外的援助。结果还表明,拉丁美洲青年认识到与家庭以外的成年人互动的好处,并接受社区的帮助。在这一人群中的复原力促进计划可能会受益于参与父母和社区成员除了年轻人。以父母为中心的方案可以探讨父母对青年成功的信念,青年方案可以让成年社区成员参与,产生积极的互动和信息。
BACKGROUNDLatino youth in low-income households have a higher likelihood of poor educational and health outcomes than their peers. Protective factors, such as parental support, improve chances of success for youth. A community–academic partnership used community-based participatory research principles to examine perceptions of resilience among Latino young people in low-income households.METHODSSemi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted in 2007 with Latino young people living in an urban low-income housing complex (n=20); their parents (n=10); and representatives from local community-based organizations (n=8) to explore their definitions of youth “success,” and barriers to and facilitators of success. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, coded, and analyzed using content-analysis and grounded theory in 2007.RESULTSParticipants identified self, family, and community factors as potential sources of support. Parents appeared to de-emphasize community resources, expressing that success resulted primarily from a child's individual desire, bolstered by family support. All stakeholder groups perceived peers more as potential barriers to achieving success than as potential sources of support.CONCLUSIONSThese findings raise the possibility that in this community, low-income Latino parents' beliefs about community resources may act as a barrier to seeking assistance outside the family. Results also suggest that Latino youth recognize the benefits of interacting with adults outside the family and are accepting of help from the community. Resilience promotion programs in this population may benefit from engaging parents and community members in addition to young people. Parent-focused programs could explore parental beliefs about youth success, and youth programs could engage adult community members to generate positive interactions and messages.
