Project Abstract: Research suggests that fathers who maintain supportive couple relationships with their children’s mothers before and after their pregnancy have a greater likelihood of continued engagement with their children, and stronger relationships with their families (Pinzon & Jones, 2012); however, little is known about the development of teenage parents’ couple or co-parenting relationships across children’s early development or parents’ transition to young adulthood, when developing brains are especially receptive to intervention. This dissertation will be the first to examine the development of teenage parents’ supportive couple and co-parenting relationships across the first nine years of parenthood, how these relationships link to maternal parenting behaviors and children’s mental health, and whether maternal residential contexts moderate these effects. Latent growth modeling will be used to identify timepoints, relationships, and residential contexts that are critical to the development of teenage mothers’ responsive parenting behaviors and their children’s mental health. Insights from this dissertation will help to inform healthy marriage and family support programs looking to implement innovative program components for teenage couples and recruitment strategies for complex families. A subsample of children who were born to mothers nineteen years old or younger will be extracted from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing (FFCW) database. Only children who reside with their mothers and have data reported from biological fathers at baseline and one other timepoint will be maintained.

项目摘要：研究表明，在怀孕前后与孩子的母亲保持支持性关系的父亲更有可能继续与孩子接触，并与家人建立更牢固的关系（Pinzon & Jones，2012）;然而，在本发明中，我们对青少年父母的发展知之甚少，在儿童的早期发育或父母向青年人的过渡期间，当大脑发育特别容易接受干预时，父母的关系。本论文将是第一个研究青少年父母的支持性夫妇和共同养育的关系，在第一个九年的父母，这些关系如何链接到母亲养育行为和儿童的心理健康，以及是否产妇居住环境缓和这些影响的发展。潜在增长模型将用于确定时间点，关系和居住环境，这对青少年母亲的反应性养育行为和孩子的心理健康的发展至关重要。从这篇论文的见解将有助于通知健康的婚姻和家庭支持计划，希望实施创新的计划组件为青少年夫妇和复杂的家庭招聘策略。将从脆弱家庭和儿童福利（FFCW）数据库中抽取19岁或19岁以下母亲所生儿童的子样本。仅保留与母亲同住且在基线和另一个时间点有生父报告数据的儿童。
