Media based culturally relevant parenting education for divorced Latino families

 描述(由申请者提供)：这一第二阶段项目Mi Nueva Familia(My New Family)(MNF)的中心目标是：为离婚或分居的拉丁裔家庭提供基于媒体的、西班牙语的、与文化相关的育儿教育，旨在继续为离婚或分居的拉丁裔父母制定育儿教育计划。MNF的内容来源于循证父母管理培训-俄勒冈模式(PMTO(Tm)；Patterson，2005)，并对其进行了调整，以满足正在经历分居或离婚的拉丁裔父母的需求。这些需求包括获得反映拉丁裔父母生活经历的符合文化的心理健康和家庭支助服务，特别是获得所提供的服务。 用西班牙语。为了满足这些需求，MNF依靠拉丁裔家庭容易识别的视频模型，以及可打印的摘要表、行动计划和可下载的音频练习，这些模型以西班牙语呈现，并配有英语翻译或字幕。第一阶段包括3个模块；与目标人群的初步测试显示，拉丁裔父母在积极的育儿策略、育儿行为和压力管理自我效能方面的知识有了很大的改善。在第二阶段，我们将开发更多的模块，重点是方向和限制设置、监控、家庭娱乐、帮助儿童应对和管理冲突。我们还将开发手机游戏，以补充模块，并为家长和孩子提供机会，以积极的方式互动。在开发活动之后，将进行有效性研究，以评估整个MNF计划。我们将对140名讲西班牙语的拉丁裔父母及其子女进行随机对照研究。我们将测试，与照常治疗(TAU)对照组相比，在为期八周的干预期内实施MNF计划是否(A)增加父母的自我效能，(B)增加父母的知识，(C)减少父母的压力，(D)改善育儿实践，以及(E)改善儿童行为。多国部队的内容和交付为经历分居或离婚的拉美裔家庭的父母培训提供了必要的创新方法。循证育儿策略的文化适应，教学游戏化，以增强培训的互动性，并通过各种方式轻松获得培训 电子平台，包括移动应用程序，直接响应分居或离婚的拉丁裔父母目前未得到满足的需求。MNF的商业化潜力很大，因为在美国大多数州，以及加拿大和波多黎各，通过离婚强制进行育儿教育。此外，许多司法管辖区要求提供专门协助拉丁裔的资源。最重要的是，该计划解决了拉美裔父母分居和离婚的一个重要而未得到充分满足的需求。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The central aim of this Phase II project, Mi Nueva Familia (My New Family) (MNF): Media‐based, Spanish language, culturally relevant parenting education for divorced or separated Latino families, is to continue development of a parenting education program for divorcing or separating Latino parents. The content of MNF is derived from the evidence‐based Parent Management Training - Oregon model (PMTO(tm); Patterson, 2005), and adapted to meet the needs of Latino parents undergoing separation or divorce. These needs include access to culturally responsive mental health and family support services that reflect the lived experiences of Latino parents, and specifically access to services delivered in Spanish. To meet these needs, MNF relies on video models with whom Latino families can easily identify and which are presented in Spanish with English translation or subtitles, as well as printable summary sheets, action plans, and downloadable audio exercises for skill practice. Phase I resulted in 3 modules; initial tests with the target population showed promising improvements in Latino parents' knowledge of positive parenting strategies, parenting behavior, and self‐efficacy in stress management. During Phase II we will develop additional modules focused on giving directions and limit setting, monitoring, family fun, helping children cope, and managing conflict. We will also develop mobile games to complement the modules and provide opportunities for parents and children to interact in a positive manner. Development activities will be followed by an efficacy study to evaluate the entire MNF program. We will conduct a randomized control study with 140 Spanish‐speaking Latino parents and their children. We will test whether, compared to the Treatment as Usual (TAU) control group, administration of the MNF program over an eight‐week intervention period (a) increases parent self‐efficacy, (b) increases parent knowledge, (c) decreases parental stress, (d) improves parenting practices, and (e) results in improvements in child behavior. MNF's content as well as delivery offers a needed innovative approach to parent training for Latino families experiencing separation or divorce. Cultural adaptation of evidence‐based parenting strategies, instructional gamification to enhance the interactive nature of the training, and easy access to the training via a variety of electronic platforms, including a mobile app are directly responsive to the currently insufficientl met needs of Latino parents experiencing separation or divorce. The commercialization potential for MNF is high due to mandated parenting education through divorce in most U.S. states, as well as Canada and Puerto Rico. In addition, many jurisdictions request resources that assist Latinos specifically. Most importantly, the program addresses an important and underserved need for separating and divorcing Latino parents.
