TL;DR: Jaccard et al. as mentioned in this paper used a communication framework of persuasion and attitude change to analyze parent-adolescent communication about adolescent risk behavior and found that three parent dimensions were deemed important: (a) perceived expertise, (b) perceived trustworthiness, and (c) perceived accessibility.

TL;DR: Recommendations are provided for primary care providers and public health practitioners to better incorporate fathers into interventions designed to reduce adolescent sexual risk behavior and to assess the methodological quality of the paternal influence literature related to adolescent sexual behavior.

TL;DR: A parent-based intervention delivered to mothers in a pediatric clinic as they waited for their child to complete a physical examination may be an effective way to reduce sexual risk behaviors among Latino and African American middle-school young adults.
