Participants were majority white (42.7%), black or African American (21.7%), and Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino (38.1%). Changes/Problems:

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Goal 1: Used Hatch funding to offer training to students and faculty who are interested in analyzing data from the Florida Youth Surveys. The first training by an outside consultant was an overview of RStudio statistical software in the social sciences. Goal 2: nothing to report How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Goal 1: Preliminary work has resulted in a submission for presentation at a national conference in Fall 2020 and preparation of a manuscript for publication. Goal 2: nothing to report What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Goal 1: Continue working with the Florida Youth Survey data. Future effortswill focus on combiningdata from the previous five years(2015-2020) to examine trends over time in risk/protective factors and associated risky behaviors. Goal 2: Preparation andsubmission of researchgrant proposals to appropriate funding sources (USDA, NIH, or NSF) seeking topreventsubstance abuse, violence, and other health risk behaviors among adolescents and emerging adults.

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?In collaboration with scientists in the Youth Survey Research lab, we sponsored a statistical training series on an "Introduction to R" programming language. Faculity and students from across campus participated. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Presentations at professional conferences: Dorman, K., Forthun, L.F., Fenton, M.P. (October, 2019). Profiles of emerging adult romantic attachment: Connections to sexual risks, anxiety and depression. Presented at the 2019 Society for the Study of Emerging Adulthood (SSEA), Toronto, Canada. Fenton, M. P., Corley, N., Forthun, L., & Dorman, K. (October, 2019). The influence of language brokering on parent-emerging adult relationships. Presented at the 2019 Society for the Study of Emerging Adulthood (SSEA), Toronto, Canada. Dorman, K., Forthun, L.F., & Barnett, R.V. (2018, November). Anxiety and depression in emerging adulthood: Relationship attachment styles and parenting. Paper presented at the annual conference of the National Council on Family Relations, San Diego, CA. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?1. Convert presentations into publications. 2. Begin oridinal data collection fromemerging adults both in college and in the workforce (non-college bound).
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
To move my research forward I developed the Emerging Adulthood Research Lab and co-developed the Youth Survey Research Lab. Both labs began in Fall semester 2019. The labs include both undergraduate and graduate students and are cross-disciplinary. Training of lab members has primarily focused on the analysis and reporting of secondary data. This would include data from the Multi-site University Study of Identity and Culture and the Florida Substance Abuse Survey. To date, results have been presented at two professional conferences, and have been submitted for presentation as several other professional meetings.Publications are in preparation.
