Extended Households and the Life Course of Young Mothers: Understanding the Associations Using a Sample of Mothers With Premature, Low Birth Weight Babies.

Journal ArticleDOI
Examining Observational Measures of Emotional Support and Cognitive Stimulation in Black and White Mothers of Preschoolers
TL;DR: This paper examined two sets of observational measures of parenting behavior: home observation for measurement of the environment (HOME) warmth subscale and a Supportive Presence scale, and between the HOME Learning subscale, and a Quality of Assistance scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of early education intervention on maternal employment, public assistance, and health insurance: the infant health and development program.

Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Results provide support for a family process model where a lower income-to-needs ratio is associated with higher reports of neighborhood disorder, greater fear for safety, and more family conflict, which is in turn, associated with greater frequency of harsh parenting.
Journal ArticleDOI
