However, if the paternal guardian refuses to participate or there is no father figure present in the family, maternal guardian-child pairs will be still eligible to participate in this study. If the children are of mixed race, but identify themselves as Hispanic or African American and at least one of their parents is either Hispanic or African American, they will be still eligible to participate.
