Bidirectional effects of behavior problems and parenting behaviors following adolescent brain injury.

Conclusions/Implications: The bidirectional relationship between effective communication and adolescent externalizing behavior suggests a transactional model in pediatric TBI in which effective communication leads to reduced adolescent behavior problems and reduced behavior problems lead to improved communication over time. Findings yielded stronger evidence for parenting effects as compared to adolescent behavior effects, providing further support for clinical interventions targeting parent–adolescent interactions following TBI.
