YOUTH AND PARENTAL PERCEPTIONS OF PARENTAL MONITORING AND PARENT-ADOLESCENT COMMUNICATION, YOUTH DEPRESSION, AND YOUTH RISK BEHAVIORS
Data from 752 Bahamian youth and their parents were analyzed to examine the relationship of youth depression with youth risk involvement, parental monitoring, and parent-youth communication. Depressed youth were older, more likely to engage in risk behaviors, and they perceived significantly
lower levels of parental monitoring and higher levels of impaired communication than did nondepressed youth. Both depressed and nondepressed youth perceived significantly lower rates of parental monitoring and open communication and higher rates of problem communication than did their parents,
but the differences in perceptions of open communication were significantly greater among depressed parent-youth dyads. Depressed youth, youth with past histories of risk behavior, youth reporting higher levels of impaired communication and lower levels of parental monitoring were more likely
to anticipate future risk behavior.
