A ROAD MAP FOR THE PARENTING OPTIONS DOCUMENTS
This chapter presents information relevant to the construct of parental monitoring/awareness across the main ACF evaluations and the additional studies selected for the EDCP for which items related to parental monitoring/awareness are available (i.e., 2 of the 9 main ACF evaluations and 3 of the 13 additional studies selected for the EDCP). These evaluations and surveys, and the page number(s) on which they appear, follow:
| Evaluation/Survey |
|---|
| Enhanced Services for the Hard to Employ Demonstration and Evaluation Project |
| National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW) |
| Panel Study of Income Dynamics, Child Development Supplement |
| National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 (NLSY97) |
| National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health |
Two tables are presented on the following pages, one for the ACF evaluations and one for the additional studies selected for the EDCP. These tables give an overview that shows the types of measures available for each evaluation and survey in this chapter and indicates the primary reporter for each measure.
For each evaluation and survey, a series of key information is described, including population assessed, periodicity, major components, procedures for administration, and a compilation of items that assess parental monitoring/awareness. Although all the items in this chapter are used to measure parental monitoring/awareness, the components of each evaluation and survey vary slightly in focus and in administration. For example, Enhanced Services for the Hard to Employ, Add Health, and PSID collect information on parental monitoring from parents, whereas youth self-reports are used for the NSCAW and the NLSY97. Also, the parental monitoring/awareness scale used in the NSCAW includes measures that tap both monitoring and awareness, whereas the other evaluations and surveys primarily tap awareness in the items used in the scale.
At this stage of the EDCP, no analysis and synthesis of items across evaluations and surveys have been attempted; rather, the information is described separately for each evaluation or survey. Readers interested in developing items to assess parental monitoring/awareness are encouraged both to examine the items included here and to return to the original evaluations and surveys to ensure that they understand the items in context and to obtain full skip patterns, response options, and other important information.
