Preferred term

cultural influences on African American youth development  

Definition(s)

  • Black American youth constitute 16% of the U.S. population under 18 years of age (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2003). Due to the growing need for practitioners, educators, and policymakers to better serve diverse populations, there has been an increase in the number of studies examining Black child development.
