While there has been extensive research on parenting risk and protective factors for the general population, knowledge of parenting specific to queer youth—those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, queer, or other sexual minority identities—remains very limited. Recognizing this gap, two FPG Faculty Fellows joined with colleagues from Carolina and the University of Wisconsin at Madison to examine previous research. The findings, “Parenting and Queer Youth Mental Health and Substance Use: A Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis,” were published earlier this year in Adolescent Research Review.

For many, being Black in America carries meaning, history and shared experience that Black children learn about — either directly or indirectly — as they grow up. A new survey of Black parents with young children in the U.S., from the Equity Research Action Coalition at FPG and the Gallup Center on Black Voices, finds that 59% of parents say they talk with their children about the challenges they may face because of their race either often (30%) or sometimes (29%).
