AI Article Synopsis

  • The article explores how nonresidential father involvement varies by race/ethnicity among White, Black, and Hispanic fathers with children aged 1 to 9.
  • Using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, the research employs random effects models to analyze differences in father engagement, time spent, shared responsibilities, and coparenting practices.
  • Findings reveal that Black fathers are more actively involved than Hispanic fathers in terms of time and engagement, while showing better coparenting behaviors compared to both Hispanic and White fathers, highlighting important implications for children and future research.

Article Abstract

Objectives: This article examines how the levels of nonresidential father involvement (over child ages 1 to 9) differ by race/ethnicity (comparing White, Black and Hispanic fathers), and then considers how individual and couple characteristics may 'account for' any observed differences.

Method: Data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study ( = 2,447) and random effects models were used to examine how nonresidential father involvement (with respect to time, engagement, shared responsibility, and coparenting with mothers) is differentiated by race and ethnicity.

Results: Overall, Black nonresident fathers were significantly more likely to spend time and engage in activities with their children as compared to Hispanic fathers-but not White fathers. Black fathers also shared responsibilities more frequently and displayed more effective coparenting than Hispanic and White fathers.

Conclusions: Fathers' involvement with children is shown to differ across major race/ethnic groups, with implications for children as well as for future research and public policy.

Objective: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is a chronic disease that is common in childhood and adolescence, where care and metabolic control are difficult for both adolescents and their parents. Parental participation in the care and treatment process, especially during adolescence when adolescents develop autonomy and take responsibility for self-care, affects both the adolescent's perception of autonomy and may cause difficulties in self-management. This study was conducted to determine the effect of parental support on adolescents' self-efficacy, quality of life (QoL) and glycaemic control in adolescents with T1D.

As family forms become increasingly diverse, their underrepresentation in attachment research is glaring. Although attachment theory aims to explain the influence of early relationships, studies have disproportionately focused on mothers. Even when other attachment figures are considered, the research is typically limited to fathers in biparental mother-father families.

Axillary swellings, particularly in women, often raise suspicion due to the high association of such swellings with breast carcinoma manifesting as metastatic lymph node involvement. Tuberculous lymphadenopathy is one of the primary diagnoses in India. Fibroadenomas are common benign breast tumors, but their occurrence in the axilla, arising from ectopic breast tissue (EBT), is rare and may present a diagnostic challenge.
