We examined the psychometric properties of a parent-child interaction rating scale (IRS) in Chinese children. We recruited 346 dyads of children aged 0-6 years ( = 2.72 years, = 1.52 years) and their caregivers from four cities in China. Parent-child interactions were videotaped in a controlled laboratory and coded by two trained coders. Internal reliability and test-retest reliability were used to measure the reliability of test scores from the IRS in our sample. We performed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to examine the factor structure of the Chinese version of the parent-child interaction rating scale (IRS-C). The third version of the dyadic parent-child interaction coding system (DPICS) was applied to assess the convergent validity of the IRS-C. Test scores from the IRS-C exhibited strong internal consistency (Kuder-Richardson 20 score 0.855) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.809 over a 1-month interval). Results of confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the five-factor structure for both the child's and caregiver's domains of the IRS-C was suitable for the Chinese sample. Convergent validity in interpretation was also verified with significant correlations between the IRS-C and DPICS. Our findings suggested that the IRS-C produces reliable and valid test scores in the evaluation of parent-child interactions among Chinese children.

Disparities exist among US adolescents in the receipt of transition to adult healthcare services: the differential impact of social determinants of health, healthcare needs, and COVID-19.
Front Public Health

School of Nursing, Duke University, Durham, NC, United States.
Introduction: We examined the influence of special healthcare needs, onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and their interaction on receiving transition services to prepare for future adult care among US adolescents, and whether social determinants of health moderated the relationship of these factors with receiving transition services.
Methods: We analyzed the National Survey of Children's Health (2019, 2020-2021) using adjusted multivariable logistic regression models. We assessed a repeated cross-sectional, nationally representative sample of adolescents aged 12-17 years old.
Parenting Styles and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in the South Asian Population: A Narrative Review.

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.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on assessing the reliability and validity of the Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS) for measuring maternal-foetal attachment in pregnant women, highlighting the need for improved psychometric properties.
- Researchers analyzed data from 184 pregnant women, comparing the original 19-item MAAS to a newly introduced 13-item brief German version, using various statistical methods to evaluate internal consistency and construct validity.
- Findings showed that the brief German MAAS outperformed the original version in terms of reliability and validity, suggesting it may be a more effective tool for measuring maternal attachment during pregnancy.
Longitudinal Measurement Invariance of the Parenting Sense of Competence (PSoC): Evidence to Question Its Use?
Child Care Health Dev
January 2025
Department of Health Sciences, University of York, England, UK.
Background: This study investigated the factor structure of the parenting sense of competence (PSoC), a measure of parenting self-efficacy, in a sample of parents recruited when their infants were under 2 months old. Due to the lack of longitudinal analysis of the PSoC's factor structure over time, the study sought to establish if the published two-factor structure was consistent over an 18-month period.
Methods: Data collected from 536 parents who had participated in a randomised controlled trial of universal proportionate parenting support, delivered in five sites in England, were subject to confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
