To examine how parental endorsement of racial socialization parenting practices relates to child mental health service use among an urban sample of African American families. METHODS: A cross-sectional sample of urban African American parents (n = 96) provided ratings of their beliefs concerning various dimensions of racial socialization constructs, i.e., spiritual or religious coping (SRC), extended family caring (EFC), cultural pride reinforcement (CPR), and assessed regarding their use of child mental health services. RESULTS: At the multivariate level, the use of child mental health services was significantly positively associated with moderate levels of endorsement of SRC and EFC. Inversely, scores in the moderate range of CPR were associated with a reduced likelihood of child mental health service use. CONCLUSION: Parental endorsement of racial socialization parenting practices appear to play a salient role in child mental health service use among an urban African American families. Further research with larger and more representative samples should be pursued.
探讨在非裔美国家庭的城市样本中,父母对种族社会化育儿方式的认可与儿童心理健康服务使用之间的关系。方法:对城市非裔美国家长(n = 96)进行横断面抽样,让他们对自己在种族社会化结构的各个维度上的信念进行评分,即精神或宗教应对(SRC)、大家庭关爱(EFC)、文化自豪感强化(CPR),并评估他们对儿童心理健康服务的使用情况。结果:在多变量水平上,儿童心理健康服务的使用与对SRC和EFC的适度认可呈显著正相关。相反,CPR中等范围内的得分与儿童使用心理健康服务的可能性降低有关。结论:在城市非裔美国家庭中,父母对种族社会化育儿方式的认可似乎在儿童心理健康服务的使用中起着重要作用。应进行更大规模和更具代表性样本的进一步研究。
