为了开发对儿童行为问题更具文化敏感性的治疗方法，重要的是要研究种族对行为评估，诊断和治疗的影响。目前的研究调查了非裔美国人和白人家庭的档案数据，这些家庭被称为破坏性行为问题的治疗。受试者为56名年龄在35至90个月（M = 64个月）的儿童。一半的参与者是非洲裔美国人（n = 28），一半是白人（n = 28）。两组受试者在年龄、性别、收入和治疗地点上相匹配。完成治疗前评估后（例如，Eyberg儿童行为量表、父母压力指数），受试者及其父母接受使用亲子互动疗法（PCIT）的治疗。两组之间在治疗前指标或治疗结局指标上无显著差异。结果进行了讨论，在评估儿童行为障碍和提供家长培训时考虑文化问题的重要性。
To develop more culturally sensitive treatments for child behavior problems it is important to examine the impact that ethnicity has on behavioral assessment, diagnosis and treatment. The current study investigated archival data of African American and Caucasian families referred for treatment of disruptive behavior problems. Subjects were 56 children between the ages of 35 and 90 months (M = 64 months). Half of the participants were African American (n = 28) and half were Caucasian (n = 28). Subjects from the two groups were matched on age, gender, income, and treatment location. Following the completion of pretreatment assessments (e.g., Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory, Parenting Stress Index), Subjects and their parent(s) received treatment using Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). No significant differences between groups were found on the pretreatment measures or measures of treatment outcome. Results are discussed with respect to the importance of considering cultural issues when assessing child behavior disorders and providing parent training.
