The purpose of this study is to examine if a relationship exists between paternal involvement during emerging adulthood and eudaimonic well-being in sons involved with Cru in the Great Lakes region in the United States. In order to execute this study, sons involved with Cru were surveyed through an adapted Father Involvement Scale and Carol Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale. The design for this research is an explanatory, quantitative method. This quantitative research focused on emerging adult sons, involved with Cru in the Great Lakes region, between the ages of 18 to 25. An online survey was implemented to gather data regarding paternal involvement and well-being. The quantitative data were administered through Google Forms, and the results were analyzed through the execution of paired t-tests, Pearson’s r, Statcrunch, and multiple regression analysis. After the statistical analysis of collected data, 12 sons who completed the quantitative survey and agreed to be interviewed were randomly selected. These interviews served to illustrate quantitative results. The data indicate three aspects of father involvement, companionship, emotional development, and social development correlated to a son’s positive relationships and self-acceptance. Specifically, the data predict the more relational a father was with his son during the ages of 18 to 25 the healthier his son was in accepting himself and establishing positive relationships with others.

Le but de cette étude était d'évaluer la faisabilité et la reproductilité de l'élastographie ShearWave par voie transabdominale d’organes fœtaux et du placenta chez les babouines gestantes.Matériels et méthodes: Les échographies fœtales de tous les babouines gestantes ont été réalisées prospectivement pendant 9 mois dans un seul centre de recherche sur les primates. La visualisation des organes foetaux cibles (foie, poumons proximal et distal, substance blanche du cerveau et matière grise périventriculaire) et du placenta a été initialement effectuée en utilisant l'échographie 2D pour le repérage des organes, puis le mode élastographique a été activé. Pour chaque organe, trois mesures ont été effectuées par deux opérateurs. On a calculé les coefficients de corrélation intra-classe (CCI) intra-observateur et inter-observateur.Résultats: Au cours de la période d'étude (03/2013 - 12/2013), 21 babouines gestantes ont été inclus correspondant à 21 foetus. Une à trois échographies ont été réalisées pour chaque fœtus. Les mesures ont été réalisables par les deux opérateurs dans tous les cas. Le CCI intra-observateur et inter-observateur était de 0,654 - IC 95% (0,606 à 0,699) et 0,645 - IC 95% (0,553 à 0,721), respectivement.Conclusion: L’élastographie ShearWave par voie transabdominale des organes fœtaux et du placenta peut être réalisée chez les babouines gestantes. La reproductibilité intra-observateur et inter-observateur est correcte mais varie selon les organes visés. / The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and reproducibility of transabdominal ShearWaveTM elastography of fetal organs and placenta in pregnant baboons.Materials and methods: Fetal ultrasounds of all pregnant baboons in a single primate research center were performed prospectively during 9 months. The visualization of fetal targeted organs (liver, proximal and distal lungs, brain white substance and periventricular gray substance) was initially performed using 2D ultrasound, and then elastography mode was activated. For each organ, three measurements were carried out by two operators. Intra-observer and inter-observer intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated.Results: During the study period (03/2013–12/2013), 21 pregnant baboons (21 fetuses) were included. One to three ultrasound scans were performed for each fetus. The measurements were feasible by the two operators in all cases. The intra-observer and inter-observer ICC were 0.654, 95% CI (0.606 to 0.699) and 0.645, 95% CI (0.553 to 0.721) respectively.Conclusion: Transabdominal ShearWaveTM Elastography of fetal organs can be achieved in pregnant baboons. The intra-observer and inter-observer reproducibility is correct but vary according to the targeted organs.ves: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and reproducibility of transabdominal ShearWaveTM elastography of fetal organs and placenta in pregnant baboons.
