Studies have highlighted that Black youth report greater discrimination experiences and that these experiences adversely impact their psychological well-being. With that said, Black parents may utilize a range of parenting practices to foster positive identity development and well-being as well as provide strategies for negotiating racialized contexts.

This investigation examines socialization practices and strategies among Black fathers and mothers.

The goal of this study is to find out if, and how, controlling childrens' temperatures by cooling their body in the days after cardiac arrest can help the brain recover. Cardiac arrest means that the heart stopped beating. Brain injury due to a cardiac arrest may prevent a child from waking up or doing the things they were able to do before the arrest. Brain injury may cause a child to have slower development and/or loss of previous skills controlled by the brain, such as talking, feeding themselves, thinking, and walking. This study will see if cooling a child a few degrees below normal temperature, called therapeutic hypothermia, will help improve a child's chance of recovering brain function after a cardiac arrest.
