This longitudinal study evaluated the relationship between family functioning and family racial socialization processes in a clinical sample of African American youth referred for drug abuse treatment. Participants were 77 African American adolescents and their parents. Results showed that participants assigned to structural ecosystems therapy experienced a greater increase in family racial socialization processes during treatment than participants assigned to the treatment as usual in community settings condition. Participants in structural ecosystems therapy also demonstrated a greater increase in family functioning than participants in community settings condition, and this improvement in family functioning mediated the relationship between treatment condition and family racial socialization processes. Research and clinical implications are discussed.
这项纵向研究评估了在因药物滥用问题接受治疗的非裔美国青少年临床样本中,家庭功能与家庭种族社会化过程之间的关系。研究参与者为77名非裔美国青少年及其父母。结果显示,与分配到社区环境中常规治疗组的参与者相比,分配到结构生态系统疗法组的参与者在治疗期间家庭种族社会化过程的提升幅度更大。结构生态系统疗法组的参与者在家庭功能方面的提升也比社区环境组的参与者更大,并且家庭功能的这种改善介导了治疗方式与家庭种族社会化过程之间的关系。文中还讨论了研究和临床意义。
