DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The dissemination of evidence-based interventions constitutes a key strategy to reduce the disproportionate burden of mental illness experienced by ethnic minority populations in the United States. Current scientific debate exists regarding the need to culturally adapt evidence-based preventive interventions prior to dissemination among at-risk ethnic minorities. This debate is known as the adaptation/balance fidelity debate. However, this debate is restricted by the limited number of rigorous empirical studies on cultural adaptation. The goal of this R34 exploratory study is to contribute to the scholarship on cultural adaptation services research by determining the minimum adaptation requirements that are necessary to integrate a culturally adapted parenting intervention characterized by high feasibility, efficacy, and cultural acceptability. The original evidence-based parenting intervention was developed with low-income and at-risk Euro-American families and it is known as Parent Management Training Oregon (PMTO). Funding for its development was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). The first culturally adapted intervention to be tested in this study is a Spanish version of the PMTO intervention (TO), which was translated according to a rigorous model of cultural adaptation in order to ensure cultural appropriateness of materials and intervention delivery. The second intervention integrates all the components of the TO intervention, as well as culture-specific sessions and engagement strategies aimed at enhancing the cultural relevance of the intervention (culturally adapted: CA). The target population for this exploratory study will be low-income, first generation Latino immigrant families because children in these families are likely to be exposed to intense contextual stressors. The following specific aims will guide this research: (a) Implement a pilot study aimed at refining intervention curricula and study procedures of the two differentially culturally adapted parenting interventions, (b) implement a small randomized control trial with the two differentially culturally adapted interventions, (c) utilize observation-based rating systems to measure fidelity to core PMTO components, as well as cultural competence in the delivery of both adapted interventions, and (d) systematically examine differential rates of engagement, retention, and cultural acceptability (i.e., TO vs. CA). Differential treatment efficacy will be analyzed by evaluating changes in parenting skills, levels of internalizing and externalizing behaviors in children, and parental stress. Quantitative and qualitative methods will be used to measure the impact of both interventions. This application addresses the need identified by NIMH to promote research focused on evaluating the feasibility and efficacy of novel approaches aimed at improving the mental health of vulnerable populations by bridging science to service. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This proposal is responsive to NIMH research priorities on health disparities as the primary goal of the study is to identify the minimum adaptation requirements that are required to culturally adapt an efficacious parenting intervention while also ensuring high feasibility, cultural relevance, and efficacy. The participants in this study will be low income and at-risk Latino families. This study constitutes the first step of a program of research aimed at duplicating the most useful model of cultural adaptation with additional at-risk diverse populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：传播循证干预措施是减少美国少数族裔人口所经历的不成比例的精神疾病负担的关键策略。当前的科学争论存在于在高危少数民族中传播之前是否需要在文化上调整基于证据的预防干预措施。这场辩论被称为适应/平衡保真度辩论。然而，这场争论受到有关文化适应的严格实证研究数量有限的限制。这项 R34 探索性研究的目标是通过确定整合具有高可行性、有效性和文化可接受性的文化适应养育干预措施所需的最低适应要求，为文化适应服务研究的学术做出贡献。最初的循证育儿干预措施是针对低收入和高危欧美家庭制定的，被称为俄勒冈州家长管理培训（PMTO）。其开发资金由国家心理健康研究所（NIMH）提供。本研究中测试的第一个文化适应干预措施是西班牙语版本的 PMTO 干预措施 (TO)，它根据严格的文化适应模型进行翻译，以确保材料和干预措施的文化适当性。第二项干预措施整合了 TO 干预措施的所有组成部分，以及旨在增强干预措施的文化相关性的特定文化会议和参与策略（文化适应：CA）。这项探索性研究的目标人群将是低收入的第一代拉丁裔移民家庭，因为这些家庭的孩子可能会面临强烈的环境压力。以下具体目标将指导这项研究：(a) 实施一项试点研究，旨在完善两种不同文化适应的育儿干预措施的干预课程和研究程序，(b) 对两种不同文化适应的育儿干预措施实施一项小型随机对照试验，(c) 利用基于观察的评级系统来衡量对核心 PMTO 组成部分的忠诚度，以及实施两种适应的干预措施的文化能力， (d) 系统地检查参与度、保留率和文化可接受性的差异（即 TO 与 CA）。将通过评估养育技能的变化、儿童的内化和外化行为水平以及父母压力来分析差异化治疗效果。将使用定量和定性方法来衡量这两种干预措施的影响。该应用程序满足了 NIMH 确定的促进研究的需求，该研究的重点是评估新方法的可行性和有效性，这些新方法旨在通过将科学与服务联系起来来改善弱势群体的心理健康。 公共卫生相关性：该提案响应了 NIMH 关于健康差异的研究重点，因为该研究的主要目标是确定在文化上适应有效育儿干预措施所需的最低适应要求，同时确保高度的可行性、文化相关性和有效性。这项研究的参与者将是低收入和高风险的拉丁裔家庭。这项研究是一项研究计划的第一步，旨在将最有用的文化适应模型复制到更多的高危多样化人群中。
