Adolescents work in varied environments and are exposed to hazards. Parents of these working adolescents have an opportunity to help them select jobs and address worker safety issues with employers. The present study conducted telephonic interviews among a national sample of 922 working adolescents along with one parent of each to examine the involvement of parents in their children's employment and safety issues. Over 70% of parents were found who helped their children identify job opportunities, consider questions about work hours or tasks, fill out job applications, prepare for interviews, or handle difficult safety issues. Parents suggested stronger actions in response to hypothetical situations than when confronted with real problems. Mean level of parental involvement did not vary by the number of hazards reported by teen workers. Parents were involved in helping their teens with work. Further research should explore how to enhance parental effectiveness by making work safe for teens.
青少年在不同的环境中工作，面临各种危险。这些青少年的父母有机会帮助他们选择工作，并与雇主一起解决工人安全问题。本研究通过电话访谈的方式对全国范围内的 922 名青少年及其每一位家长进行了调查，以研究父母对子女就业和安全问题的参与情况。结果发现，超过 70%的父母帮助孩子寻找工作机会、考虑工作时间或任务、填写工作申请表、准备面试或处理棘手的安全问题。与实际问题相比，父母在应对假设情况时提出了更强有力的措施。父母参与的程度与青少年工人报告的危险数量无关。父母参与帮助孩子工作。进一步的研究应该探索如何通过使青少年的工作安全来提高父母的有效性。
