A Harm Reduction Approach to Reduce the Adverse Social Impacts of Nonresident Status on Black Fathers and Their Biological Children.
Master Essay, University of Pittsburgh.
Abstract
Abstract
Academic decline, disruptive behaviors, emotional distress, addiction, and early sex initiation are all public health issues highly affecting Black youth today. Parenting research states there is a correlation between these outcomes, effective parenting styles, family structure, and race. Past maternal and co-parenting research overlooks and under-studies Black fathers with little consideration to resident status and related youth outcomes. The nonresidential status of Black fathers perpetuated by existing public health issues of structural racism and targeted criminalization are compounded with societal stereotypes and demographic biases. Black fathers have lacked effective parenting skills for generations and over time, have lost access and opportunities to employment and resources to fulfill the parental role due to determinants like urbanization. This essay proposes integrating theoretical frameworks and attending to social and structural inequities to promote nonresidential Black fathers’ effective parenting skills, bolster their supports, and expand available resources to improve the thriving of Black families.
