AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined how parenting style influences the transition readiness and self-management skills of adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- During a year-long survey, 69 adolescents and their parents reported on self-efficacy and transition readiness using various questionnaires.
- Results showed that while an authoritative parenting style was prevalent, there were significant differences in transition readiness based on gender and age, with females and older adolescents scoring higher, but no specific parenting style correlated with improved readiness.
Article Abstract
Background: Transition to adult-centered care requires adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to acquire a set of independent self-management skills. Transition success can be affected by maturity, cognitive development, and many other factors. Our hypothesis was that parenting style would be associated with increased self-efficacy and therefore transitions readiness.
Methods: A prospective cohort survey study of adolescents with IBD and their parents from October 2018 to October 2019 was performed. Participants completed the IBD-Self-Efficacy Scale- Adolescent questionnaire (IBD-SES-A) and the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ). Parents completed the Parent Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ-short form). Demographic and disease information were also collected.
Results: Sixty-nine participants were included for full analysis (36 males and 33 females); mean age was 18.2 years, and average age of IBD diagnosis 13 years. Overall, 83% of participants were non-Hispanic Caucasian, and 84% reported parental annual income over USD 100,000. All 69 parents reported an authoritative parenting style. Females have significantly higher TRAQ scores than males ( = 0.0004). TRAQ scores differed significantly between age groups, with 20 to 22 years old having higher scores ( ≤ 0.0001). TRAQ and IBD-SES-A scores did not differ by parental education or parenting style.
Conclusion: Given the inability to delineate different parenting, this study was unable to demonstrate a protective parenting style associated with better transitions readiness and self-efficacy scores in adolescents with IBD. Within the context of authoritative parenting, we did find that females and older adolescents had higher transition readiness scores. Additional research into psychosocial determinants of transition readiness, and the importance of multidisciplinary management with an integrated team including psychologist and social workers, can help improve IBD transition outcomes.

Background And Hypotheses: Sexual minority populations have a higher prevalence of psychotic experiences (PE), possibly due to differential experiences within the social envirome in its positive (eg, social support, parenting) and negative aspects (eg, adverse life events, bullying). This study hypothesized that (1) sexual minority adolescents experience more PE, (2) are more exposed to harmful aspects of the social envirome, and (3) may display differential sensitivity to certain aspects of the social envirome.

Chinese people are experiencing phthalate exposure risks. However, temporal and regional phthalate internal exposure variations amongst Chinese have not been established. To address this gap, we integrated our 69 adult participants' bio-monitored urinary phthalate metabolite (UPM) concentration data by high-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry in Xi'an and Nanjing and the data from 35 literature (total sample size: 18768).

The relationship between cultural practices and mental health is particularly complex in diverse communities. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a prevalent neurodevelopmental condition, remains underdiagnosed and untreated in South Asian populations, often due to persistent stigmas and systemic barriers. While global awareness of ADHD is increasing, research examining its connection with parenting styles in South Asian families is limited.
