Based on an action theory approach, of 32 videotaped parent-adolescent conversations about health in two Canadian ethno-cultural groups were analyzed to identify and describe the joint action of parents and adolescents in the health domain. The data include manifest behavior (the conversation), internal processes (recalled thoughts and feelings on viewing the videotape of the conversation), and social meaning. These data were analyzed using the goals, functions, and elements of the conversations. Five categories of joint actions emerged from these data: sharing and exploring information, values, and beliefs about health; negotiating and struggling about aspects of the adolescent’s independence; providing and receiving guidance; adjusting to family and home issues; and fostering joint understanding by giving voice to the adolescent.
