Vincent Guilamo-Ramos is employed in the Silver School of Social Work and Center for Latino Adolescent and Family Health along with Jane Lee and Katherine McCarthy which is located at New York University in New York. Alida Bouris is employed at the School of Social Administration which is located in the University of Chicago at Chicago, Illinois. And Shannon L. Michael, Seraphine Pitt-Barnes, and Patricia Dittus is employed in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which located at Atlanta, Georgia. The type of literature they reviewed is about mainly social work with adolescents along with medical care issues. I believe that they review literature in a particular field because based on the degrees they achieved, it’s best to say that they know the certain fields that they went to universities for their intended majors.

Based on the literature review, the authors used methodological research by searching electronic databases. And according to the studies they founded, between 1980 and 2011, targeted adolescents between ages 11 to 18 years old and focused on the paternal parenting processes. It was assessed by an 11 scoring system. And for the results based on the methods they used, they found that paternal factors are associated with sexual behavior related to maternal factors. The most common was emotional qualities on the father-adolescent relationship. The communication was associated within the behavior while fathers attitude were less associated.

But more research suggested diverse facets of paternal influence on sexual behavior is needed. And the authors are providing recommendations from the primary care providers and practitioners to better influence fathers to intervene into their children lives to reduce their sexual behavior.
