title: The influence of ethnicity and generational status on parent and family relations among Chinese and Filipino adolescents.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of ethnic and generational differences on perceptions about parent and family relationships in a nationally representative sample of Chinese and Filipino adolescents living in the United States.
  
  
  METHODS
  This was a cross-sectional descriptive study, utilizing data from the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent Health.
  
  
  METHODS
  The sample was weighted to produce a nationally representative sample, based on 216 self-identified Chinese and 387 self-identified Filipino adolescents.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Results indicated that generational status plays a role in predicting how adolescents perceive the parent-adolescent relationship.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Findings provide a basis by which community health nurses can begin to understand the uniqueness of Asian subgroups, as well as generations of immigrant youth.
