= 7.89; 82.9% Black). The sample was recruited based on maternal caregivers' experiences with substance abuse, violence, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome/human immunodeficiency virus (SAVA). Research is lacking on factors related to parenting perceptions among families exposed to SAVA in the United States, despite past studies showing links between SAVA and parenting. Findings from a multivariate linear regression revealed that younger child age, more internal assets, and more community assets were related to greater positive maternal parenting perceptions, while more behavior problems and fewer community assets were associated with more negative parenting perceptions. Results highlight the differential contributions of assets and behavioral difficulties to how children perceive maternal parenting. Such knowledge could inform the development of family-focused, multisystemic interventions that may enhance parenting practices while strengthening the mother-child relationship.
