ABSTRACT The left-behind children issue is a common issue in developing countries, including Indonesia. This study explored conditions of left-behind children in West Timor, Indonesia using photovoice technique. Six children of migrated parents participated in this study. The results of the study identified two main themes, which are misdirected dreams and protective factors. Being left behind by their parents made children struggle economically and shifted their priority from education to having a job. Friends from school proved to be supportive and empowering to these children. Strengthening family-level economic and implementing school-based intervention can be keys to moving forward for left-behind children.

ABSTRACT At-risk families and caregivers from low-and middle-income countries have been shown to benefit from parenting interventions. But there is limited evidence on the impact of interventions on adolescent parents. This paper considers the effects of a parenting programme targeting adolescent parents in South Africa, emphasising parenting and adolescent well-being outcomes. Secondly, it explores whether such an intervention can influence adolescent depression and parenting behaviours. Using a quasi-experimental, longitudinal design, data was collected over 2015–2017 from 113 adolescent parents (aged 12–22 years) who attended three secondary schools in Cape Town. Adolescents (biological and non-biological parents) were assigned to intervention (parenting programme participation) and control groups. They completed assessments on parenting, adolescent well-being, and social context at three time-points. Inter-group, and time-period differences were examined, and analyses on whether depression moderates programme effects on outcomes were conducted. At the ten-month follow-up, positive parenting and resilience improved for biological and non-biological parents and in both study groups. For the non-biological intervention group parents, depression rates increased over time. Intervention adolescents with high depression risk showed smaller improvements in supportive parenting than their control group counterparts. Although adolescents increased in positive parenting and resilience, it is unclear whether and how the intervention contributed to these results. As the intervention group included more adolescents at high risk of depression at follow-up, this study highlights the importance of including mental health support in interventions targeting adolescents in LMIC contexts. The study is limited by a small sample size and reliance on self-reported data.

ABSTRACT Little data exist on how 15-to-24-year-old perinatally infected youth living with HIV (p-YLHIV) learn their HIV status, and how those disclosure experiences may relate to current viral suppression (VS). Cross-sectional analyses were conducted using baseline data from a randomized controlled trial testing a peer mentoring program in Ndola, Zambia. Analyses were restricted to self-reported p-YLHIV to assess associations between disclosure experiences and VS using logistic regression models, adjusted for sex, age, time on treatment and enrolment site. Of 198 p-YLHIV, 55% knew their HIV status by age 12. The odds of VS was 3.43 greater among p-YLHIV who learned their HIV status through a healthcare provider (HCP) and caregiver together compared to learning from either a HCP or caregiver alone [95% CI:1.02,11.54]. P-YLHIV who had people to talk with about living with HIV after disclosure were twice as likely to have VS compared to peers who did not [OR: 1.87, 95% CI: 1.0, 3.45]. These findings highlight the importance of disclosure support and having a HCP-caregiver team handle disclosure with perinatally infected children and youth, indicating strong service delivery opportunities that may support future VS in youth. Future studies should examine youth peer mentors living with HIV’s support during disclosure processes.

ABSTRACT Arts-based therapy (ABT) is beneficial for children who have experienced trauma, however, little is known about its feasibility or efficacy in immigrant and refugee children. We analyzed the effects of a volunteer-led ABT program on the mental wellness of immigrant and refugee children. Weekly ABT sessions were held with 55 children, 28 of whom completed the program and surveys. Mental wellness was assessed through pre- and post-intervention surveys using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). We used Chi-square tests and Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA to examine change in high and total SDQ score, respectively. Children enjoyed meeting new people, gaining new skills, and imaginative play during ABT sessions. Most parents reported their child was happier after participating. Small improvements were seen in multiple SDQ subscales, including emotional, conduct, peer problems, and prosocial activity, although none were statistically significant (p > 0.1). This ABT program was well-received and indicates the feasibility of a volunteer-led program. Further studies should quantify the effects of art therapy interventions.

ABSTRACT This study examined the experiences of young people as they navigate the life of hardships owing to conflict-induced displacement. The study is particularly aimed at investigating how the family misery under displaced context has shaped the attitudes and dispositions of the young members of the family to proceed in life despite discouraging environments. Findings were drawn from face-to-face interviews with ten young internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Marawi City, Lanao Del Sur, in the Philippines, the site of a conflict in 2017 which has displaced thousands of people. Results reveal that young people perceive the displacement situation as an extremely difficult part of their lives, but which has strengthened their spirit to be better for their families. This article argued that, instead of feeling defeated and unmotivated, young adult members of the family are capable of rising above the occasion though engaging or sharing in parental roles and maintaining the focus on helpful goals for the family. This article demonstrated then that young people can become one of the family resources during difficult times among internally displaced families (IDPs).

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to explore the applicability of family group conferencing (FGC) as a youth justice intervention in South Africa by adopting a qualitative methodology. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 multi-professional youth justice practitioners (social workers, psychologists, educationists, legal practitioners) who have experience in the use of restorative justice interventions in South Africa. Although data saturation was achieved, the small sample size due to the limited research and application of FGC in South Africa is recognised as a limitation in the study. The findings showed good endorsement for the use of FGC within the South African youth justice context due to family and victim inclusion, its reparation aims, as well as culture and context adaptability. Additionally, the suitability of FGC as a youth justice intervention was acknowledged due to its promoting accountability and behaviour modification. It is recommended that the judiciary and community members must be educated on the alternative options available to deal with children who come into conflict with the law in order to act in the best interest of youth offenders. The need for more comprehensive research in which both service providers and clients are included is recognised in the article.

ABSTRACT Children in rural learning ecologies are faced with multiple vulnerabilities aggravated by a number of factors. The use of resources readily available may be helpful in managing vulnerabilities. Undergirded by complexity theory principles, this study unpacks the effectiveness of local resources in highly multiple vulnerable areas with a focus in managing multiple vulnerabilities for the wellbeing of children in rural learning ecologies. Participants to this study were purposively selected from teachers, parents and children. Data was generated from focus group discussions conducted with eight children, four parents and three teachers as participants yielded better ways on how local possessions can effectively help to manage multiple vulnerabilities. Through participatory action research, the study found out that the approach utilised and the use of local resources promotes a culture of collaborative inquiry and innovation, fostering teamwork, continuous learning and ownership of actions within a community. This qualitative study yields rich information on how different stakeholders can collectively work to manage multiple vulnerabilities to enhance child wellbeing in rural learning ecologies.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the prevalence and socio-economic factors on child marriage in the Malda district of West Bengal using a mixed-methods approach: in-depth qualitative interviews of female victims of child marriage as well as quantitative data collected using structured interviews of women. Quantitative analysis reveals that educational attainment had an inverse relationship with girl-child marriage. This study also found that women who belonged to low-income families were more likely to married-off their daughter at an early age compared to high-income families. The qualitative information indicated multiple themes related to the causes of child marriage such as economic vulnerability due to land erosion, siblings as sisters, and comeliness of girls. The findings of the study suggest that child marriage could be prevented by increasing opportunities for girls’ education and employment. The targeted approach should be made among rural and poor girls to combat the practice of child marriage.

ABSTRACT Children affected by HIV or AIDS (CABA) are vulnerable to social consequences such as neglect, stigma, and exclusion, leading to poor child well-being. We assessed the well-being of CABA and the factors associated with it. Our sample included 288 CABA, aged 10–18 years, from four divisions of Bangladesh – Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and Khulna. The mean age of the children was 12.93 (±2.36) years. Among the children, 58% were boys, 78% were from rural areas, and 48.6% were receiving some form of HIV-sensitive social protection services from different non-governmental organizations. Around 91% of the children were continuing their education, 93% were vaccinated according to the national immunization schedule, and 13% were infected with HIV. We found that child well-being was not significantly associated with HIV-sensitive social protection services (OR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.40–1.95), but with family wealth (OR: 5.23, 95% CI: 1.88–14.51). Therefore, we argue for HIV-sensitive social protection services that consider the economic well-being of the families of the CABA along with other well-being aspects.

Therefore, we argue for HIV-sensitive social protection services that consider the economic well-being of the families of the CABA along with other well-being aspects.","PeriodicalId":46101,"journal":{"name":"Vulnerable Children and Youth Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":"369 - 379"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17450128.2021.1917030","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49586521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to assess resilience levels in a group of children and adolescents whose parents were afflicted with Huntington’s disease and in a control group of children and adolescents at risk of poverty. We used a sample of 63 children and adolescents (65% girls), between 7 and 18 years with an average age of 12.67 (SD = 3.07). The subjects were administered the questionnaire on resilience in children and adolescents, which consists of three factors: internal protective factor, external protective factor and empathy. The results showed that both groups had higher levels of resilience than the theoretical median. However, the control group performed better on the internal protective factor and the general resilience scale. The data suggests that resilience levels in children and adolescents do not increase when they are overexposed to adverse circumstances.
