DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Latino youth currently comprise more than one-fifth of the US youth population (Mather & Foxen, 2010), yet this sizeable group of the nation's future adults lags alarmingly behind non-Latino youth in academic achievement. The proposed program, Padres Preparados: A Cultural Adaptation of an Evidence-Based Parenting Intervention for Latino Families (Prepared Parents), aims to address the Latino achievement gap at an early and critical stage through a parent intervention program designed to increase school readiness skills in preschool- age children. The content of the program will be based on parenting skills specified by the evidenced-based Oregon Model of Parent Management Training (PMTO), which emphasizes five positive parenting skills: skill building; effective discipline; monitoring; problem-solving; and positive involvement. Padres Preparados is also based on research on the benefits of early childhood education and positive parent involvement in building school readiness skills. Parent involvement has been shown to play a crucial role in children's academic success, but Latino parents may hesitate to participate in parent activities because joint school-home programs are not culturally sensitive. To fully engage Latino parents in their children's education, interventions must be adapted in a way that takes into account their culture, language, and context. In fact, the more closely an intervention is adapted to a particular cultural background, the more effective it is. Padres Preparados will be developed specifically for Spanish-speaking Latino parents, adapting PMTO-based content to address the language, cultural values, and unique contexts of this population using the Cultural Adaptation Process model and the Ecological Validity Model. In Phase II, we will build on promising results from the Phase I pilot by developing an interactive, user-friendly, multimedia presentation of culturally adapted PMTO-based parent training will be developed for Latino parents of preschool-age children; the program will be available to parents on DVD and online using computer and mobile technologies. Padres Preparados will be easily adaptable to workshop presentations by preschool parent educators. Social validity and usability data will be collected via focus groups with Latino parents and preschool staff, observations at preschool settings, and meetings with Latino community leaders. These data will inform the development of Modules 2-6 of Padres Preparados, which will focus on positive discipline, clear directions, emotional regulation, difficult behavior and problem solving. (The Phase I module, Enhancing Child Literacy Skills, gave parents PMTO skills to support early-literacy at home and parent engagement at school.) An implementation manual for preschool staff will support staff in serving as program facilitators and parent mentors. Following program development, an eight-week, randomized control evaluation with 122 Latino parents, who have at least one child currently enrolled in a pre-K program, will be conducted to assess the efficacy of the intervention.

拉丁裔青年目前占美国青年人口的五分之一以上（Mather & Foxen，2010），但这个国家未来成年人的相当大的群体在学术成就方面远远落后于非拉丁裔青年。拟议的方案“Padres Padriados：拉丁裔家庭循证育儿干预的文化适应”（准备好的父母）旨在通过旨在提高学龄前儿童入学准备技能的父母干预方案，在早期和关键阶段解决拉丁裔成就差距问题。该方案的内容将基于父母管理培训（PMTO）的循证俄勒冈州模式所规定的育儿技能，该模式强调五种积极的育儿技能：技能建设;有效的纪律;监测;解决问题;和积极参与。Padres Escherados还基于对幼儿教育和家长积极参与建立入学准备技能的好处的研究。父母的参与已被证明在孩子的学业成功中起着至关重要的作用，但拉丁裔父母可能会犹豫参加家长活动，因为联合学校家庭计划在文化上不敏感。为了让拉丁裔父母充分参与子女的教育，干预措施必须考虑到他们的 文化、语言和语境。事实上，干预措施越是适应特定的文化背景，就越有效。Padres Eschados将专门为讲西班牙语的拉丁裔父母开发，使用文化适应过程模型和生态有效性模型调整基于PMTO的内容，以解决该人群的语言，文化价值观和独特背景。在第二阶段，我们将在第一阶段试点取得的可喜成果的基础上，开发一种互动的、用户友好的、多媒体的、适应文化的、基于PMTO的父母培训方案，将为学龄前儿童的拉丁美洲父母开发;该方案将通过DVD和使用计算机和移动的技术的在线方式提供给父母。教士们将很容易适应学前家长教育工作者的研讨会演讲。社会有效性和可用性数据将通过与拉丁裔父母和学前工作人员的焦点小组，在学前教育机构的观察，以及与拉丁裔社区领导人的会议来收集。这些数据将为Padres Escherados的模块2-6的开发提供信息，这些模块将侧重于积极的纪律，明确的方向，情绪调节，困难的行为和解决问题。(The第一阶段模块，提高儿童识字技能，为家长提供PMTO技能，以支持家庭早期识字和家长在学校的参与。学前教育工作人员的实施手册将支持工作人员担任方案促进者和家长导师。在项目开发之后，将对122名拉丁裔父母进行为期8周的随机对照评估，这些父母目前至少有一名儿童参加了学前教育项目，以评估干预措施的有效性。
