Multimedia Divorce Education for Latino Parents

描述（由申请人提供）：这是第二阶段的申请，旨在开发儿童护理Para Padres Latinos，这是一个基于多媒体的互动预防项目，旨在帮助讲西班牙语的父母帮助他们的孩子适应分居或离婚。该程序的概念是对较大的KidCare系列的重要补充，KidCare系列是nida资助的离婚相关多媒体程序套件，目前正在inflexion开发中。法院赞助的父母教育项目现在在全国超过45个州被强制执行。然而，只有有限数量的课程是用西班牙语提供的，专门为拉丁裔家庭量身定制的课程就更少了。因此，拉丁裔父母往往不受法院命令的约束，无法获得他们所需的与离婚有关的教育服务。为了解决这个问题，KidCare Para Padres Latinos将是一个以西班牙语提供的拉丁裔敏感项目。该计划将包括一个互动的、基于多媒体的育儿教育课程、一个配套网站和一本带回家的手册。第一阶段涉及概念验证研究，以证明产品的可行性。第二阶段将包括一个功能齐全的KidCare Para Padres Latinos项目的生产和可用性测试，以及实地测试和验收研究，以评估其有效性和满意度。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase II application proposes development of KidCare Para Padres Latinos, an interactive, multimedia-based prevention program designed to help Spanish-speaking parents facilitate their children's adjustment to separation or divorce. The program is conceptualized as a critical addition to the larger KidCare series, a NIDA-funded suite of divorce-related multimedia programs currently under development at Inflexxion. Court sponsored parenting education programs are now mandated in more than 45 states throughout the country. Yet, only a limited number of programs are offered in Spanish and even less are specifically tailored to the needs of Latino families. As a result, Latino parents are often exempted from the court mandate and left without options for obtaining the divorce-related educational services they need. To address this issue, KidCare Para Padres Latinos will be a Latino-sensitive program offered in Spanish. The program will consist of an interactive, multimedia-based parenting education curriculum, a companion Website, and a take-home handbook. Phase I involved proof of concept research to demonstrate product feasibility. Phase II will involve production and usability testing of a fully functional KidCare Para Padres Latinos program, as well as a field test and acceptance study to evaluate its efficacy and satisfaction levels.
