Multimedia Divorce Education for Latino Parents

描述（由申请人提供）：这一第二阶段的申请建议开发儿童护理帕拉教士拉丁美洲人，一个互动的，基于多媒体的预防计划，旨在帮助讲西班牙语的父母促进他们的孩子的适应分居或离婚。该计划被概念化为一个重要的除了更大的儿童护理系列，一个NIDA资助的离婚相关的多媒体程序套件目前正在开发中的Inflexxion。法院赞助的育儿教育方案现在在全国45个以上的州得到授权。然而，只有有限数量的课程以西班牙语提供，更少的是专门针对拉丁美洲家庭的需求。因此，拉丁裔父母往往被免除法院的授权，没有选择获得他们需要的离婚相关教育服务。为了解决这个问题，儿童护理帕拉教士拉丁美洲人将是一个拉丁美洲敏感的计划在西班牙语提供。该计划将包括一个互动的，基于多媒体的育儿教育课程，一个同伴网站，和带回家的手册。第一阶段涉及概念验证研究，以证明产品的可行性。第二阶段将涉及一个功能齐全的儿童护理帕拉教士拉丁美洲人计划的生产和可用性测试，以及现场测试和验收研究，以评估其疗效和满意度。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase II application proposes development of KidCare Para Padres Latinos, an interactive, multimedia-based prevention program designed to help Spanish-speaking parents facilitate their children's adjustment to separation or divorce. The program is conceptualized as a critical addition to the larger KidCare series, a NIDA-funded suite of divorce-related multimedia programs currently under development at Inflexxion. Court sponsored parenting education programs are now mandated in more than 45 states throughout the country. Yet, only a limited number of programs are offered in Spanish and even less are specifically tailored to the needs of Latino families. As a result, Latino parents are often exempted from the court mandate and left without options for obtaining the divorce-related educational services they need. To address this issue, KidCare Para Padres Latinos will be a Latino-sensitive program offered in Spanish. The program will consist of an interactive, multimedia-based parenting education curriculum, a companion Website, and a take-home handbook. Phase I involved proof of concept research to demonstrate product feasibility. Phase II will involve production and usability testing of a fully functional KidCare Para Padres Latinos program, as well as a field test and acceptance study to evaluate its efficacy and satisfaction levels.
