Although parental monitoring has received considerable attention in studies of U.S. adolescents, few published studies have examined how parents' knowledge of their children's whereabouts may influence health risk behaviors in adolescents living in Latin America. We investigated the association between perceived parental monitoring and substance use, fighting, and sexual behaviors in rural and urban Salvadoran adolescents (n = 982). After adjusting for several sociodemographic covariates, multilevel regression analyses indicated that students reporting low parental monitoring were between 2 to 3.5 times more likely to report risk behaviors examined. The promotion of specific parenting practices such as parental monitoring may hold promise for reducing adolescent risk behaviors in El Salvador.
尽管在美国青少年研究中，父母监督受到了相当多的关注，但很少有已发表的研究探讨父母对孩子行踪的了解如何影响拉丁美洲青少年的健康风险行为。我们调查了萨尔瓦多城乡青少年（n = 982）中感知到的父母监督与物质使用、打架及性行为之间的关联。在对多个社会人口学协变量进行调整后，多层次回归分析表明，报告父母监督程度低的学生报告所研究的风险行为的可能性要高出2至3.5倍。推广诸如父母监督等特定育儿方式可能有望减少萨尔瓦多青少年的风险行为。
