Abstract:

The Places/Lugares project, conducted in conjunction with the Latino Hispanic American Community Center (LHACC) in Harrisburg, is a study that examined how place (i.e., inside and outside of the residential neighborhood) and culture impact parental involvement (and other parenting behaviors) as well as shaped the link between parenting practices and youth beliefs and behaviors among Latine families. All aspects of the project were provided in English or Spanish. The data collection for this project has been completed. Ongoing work focuses on analyzing the data and sharing it with multiple audiences, including those communities from whom we collected the data. This is a PACT affiliated project. We thank the PACT and greater Harrisburg communities for being our partners in this work.
