Media-based culturally-relevant parent education for divorced Latino families

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的中心目标，Mi Nueva Familia（我的新家庭）（MNF）：针对离婚或分居的拉丁裔家庭的媒体，西班牙语，文化相关的育儿教育，是发展育儿教育，保护儿童免受不适应，反社会行为，犯罪和药物滥用的风险，这些风险可能源于离婚或分居期间经常发生的压力，冲突和妥协的育儿方式。MNF课程将通过交互式数字技术（例如，智能手机、平板电脑、电脑、DVD）提供，用于个人或团体教学。将在第一阶段开发的MNF原型将利用为离婚或分居的西班牙语拉丁裔父母量身定制的循证育儿培训来解决这些因素，并将旨在促进有效的育儿，减少压力和减少冲突。人口统计研究表明，拉丁美洲人的离婚率正在接近与国家统计数据相当的水平；拉丁美洲人口增长的速度使这一干预行动变得十分紧迫。MNF的内容基于俄勒冈州家长管理培训模式（PMTO; Patterson, 2005），该模式代表了SAMHSA国家循证项目和实践登记处等最佳实践清单上最大的循证项目家族。MNF是创新的，因为它代表了基于证据的育儿实践将首次在文化和语言上为讲西班牙语的拉丁裔受众量身定制

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The central aim of this project, Mi Nueva Familia (My New Family) (MNF): Media-based, Spanish-language, culturally relevant parenting education for divorced or separated Latino families, is to develop parenting education that protects children from the risks of maladjustment, antisocial behavior, delinquency, and substance abuse that can result from the stresses, conflicts, and compromised parenting that often occur during divorce or separation. The MNF program will be delivered via interactive digital technology (e.g., smartphone, tablet, computer, DVD) for use in individual or group instruction. The MNF prototype to be developed in Phase I will address these factors using evidence-based parenting training tailored to Spanish-speaking Latino parents undergoing divorce or separation, and will be designed to promote effective parenting, reduced stress, and reduced conflict. Demographic studies show that the divorce rate among Latinos is approaching levels comparable to national statistics; the expanding rate of population growth among Latinos gives this intervention great urgency. MNF content is based on the Parent Management Training ¿ Oregon model (PMTO¿; Patterson, 2005), which represents the single largest ¿family¿ of evidence- based programs on best practice lists such as SAMHSA¿s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices. MNF is innovative insomuch as it represents the first time evidence-based parenting practices will be culturally and linguistically tailored to a Spanish-speaking Latino audience, and will be delivered using sophisticated media and interactive techniques. MNF will be made accessible across a variety of digital platforms in order to facilitate individual or group instrucion as mandated by state and local family court systems. Feasibility of the Phase I MNF prototype will be evaluated on the basis of its relevance, acceptability, cultural appropriateness, and potential for efficacy. The study will consist of a single sample pre-post design. Determination of program efficacy and threats to internal validity will be addressed in Phase II once the complete program is developed. Because most states plus Canada and Puerto Rico have some level of mandated parenting education through divorce at the state or local level, and because many jurisdictions request resources that assist Latinos specifically, the MNF program has strong commercial viability. Moreover, the program addresses an important and underserved need for separating and divorcing Latino parents.
