Media based culturally relevant parenting education for divorced Latino families

 描述（由申请人提供）：这个第二阶段项目的中心目标，我的新家庭（MNF）：基于媒体的，西班牙语，离婚或分居的拉丁美洲家庭的文化相关的育儿教育，是继续为离婚或分居的拉丁美洲父母制定育儿教育计划。MNF的内容来源于基于证据的父母管理培训-俄勒冈州模型（PMTO（TM）;帕特森，2005），并适应于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文化敏感的心理健康和家庭支持服务，特别是获得提供的服务 用西班牙语为了满足这些需求，MNF依赖于视频模型，拉丁美洲家庭可以很容易地识别，并以西班牙语提供英语翻译或字幕，以及可打印的摘要表，行动计划和可下载的音频练习。第一阶段产生了3个模块;对目标人群的初步测试显示，拉丁裔父母对积极育儿策略、育儿行为和压力管理自我效能的了解有了可喜的改善。在第二阶段，我们将开发更多的模块，重点是提供方向和限制设置，监控，家庭乐趣，帮助儿童科普和管理冲突。我们亦会开发手机游戏，与各单元相辅相成，让家长与子女有机会以积极的方式互动。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，与作为父母的治疗（TAU）对照组相比，在8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）改善父母的做法，（e）改善儿童行为。MNF的内容以及交付提供了一个必要的创新方法，以家长培训拉丁美洲家庭经历分居或离婚。对基于证据的育儿策略进行文化适应，教学游戏化以增强培训的互动性，并通过各种 包括移动的应用程序的电子平台直接响应于经历分居或离婚的拉丁美洲父母的当前不可忽视的满足的需求。由于美国大多数州以及加拿大和波多黎各通过离婚进行强制育儿教育，MNF的商业化潜力很高。此外，许多司法管辖区要求专门帮助拉丁美洲人的资源。最重要的是，该计划解决了一个重要的和服务不足的需要分离和离婚的拉丁美洲父母。

 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.
