在两项与美国拉丁裔(墨西哥)移民家庭相关的研究中，我们检验了循证计划--家庭和学校一起(FAST)的有效性。在研究1中，我们报告了对参与FAST计划的父母和儿童进行的测试前、测试后3个月和12个月跟踪调查的结果。家庭是从随机分配到干预组或对照组的社区中挑选出来的。在3年的时间里，共有282名父母(263名母亲和19名父亲)参加了干预(140名父母)或对照(142名父母)的情况。每个父母都有一个参与的焦点孩子；因此，282名儿童(144名女性和138名男性；平均年龄=29.5岁)参与了这项研究。这项研究的一个主要重点是确定参与禁食是否会减少儿童的攻击性。使用线性增长模型，干预组和对照组在攻击性方面没有发现差异，尽管干预组的儿童确实在解决社会问题的技能和集体效能的感知方面有了显著的改善。在研究2中，我们对10名FAST参与者进行了两个焦点小组的研究，以探索是否注意到了其他未测量的结果，并更好地了解FAST的机制和影响。焦点小组中的所有父母都报告说，FAST帮助他们更好地与孩子相处和沟通，对年龄较大的孩子的行为影响最大。从文化契合度的角度讨论了针对拉美裔移民家庭的FAST计划的结果和未来的发展方向。
The effectiveness of the evidence based program, Families and Schools Together (FAST), was examined in two inter-related studies with immigrant Latino (Mexican) families in the U.S. In Study 1, we reported findings from pre-test, 3-month post-test, and 12-month follow-up surveys of parents and children participating in the FAST program. Families were selected from communities that were randomly assigned to either intervention or control groups. A total of 282 parents (263 mothers and 19 fathers) participated in either the intervention (140 parents) or control (142 parents) condition over the course of 3 years. Each of the parents had a participating focal child; thus, 282 children (144 females and 138 males; average age = 9.5 years) participated in the study. A primary focus of the research was to determine whether participation in FAST led to reductions in children’s aggression. Using linear growth models, no differences were noted on aggression between intervention and control groups, although intervention children did show significant improvements in social problem-solving skills and perceptions of collective efficacy. In Study 2, we conducted two focus groups with ten FAST participants to explore whether other unmeasured outcomes were noted and to understand better the mechanisms and impact of FAST. All of the parents in the focus groups reported that FAST had helped them better relate to and communicate with their children, and that the greatest effect was on the behavior of their older children. Results are discussed in terms of cultural fit of the FAST program for immigrant Latino families and future directions.
