“…Traditionally, investigators would be expected to conduct randomized control trials (RCTs) to test the efficacy of an intervention prior to scaling it out to usual care (Curran et al, 2012). However, RCTs present a host of challenges when it relates to conducting studies in low-resource and for minority populations: they present ethical and practical challenges of assigning members of small communities to randomization when the community is small and withhold members from beneficial interventions in communities that are often in dire need of basic services (Dixon, Salinas, & Marques, 2016). Additional risks such as historical or political events that can affect vulnerable and low-resourced communities may also pose a challenge in conducting RCTs and have a clear definition of the effects of the intervention (Blinded for review-2).…”

Research suggests that parenting programs are effective for preventing behavioral and emotional difficulties in children, but a lot more attention needs to be paid to issues of context and culture during the development, testing and implementation of these interventions. The views and needs of underserved and disenfranchised communities in the US and the Global South are often not taken into account for the development and testing of interventions. The successful implementation of evidence-based interventions for vulnerable children and families in underserved and marginalized communities requires careful consideration of how existing paradigms of prevention, evaluation, and implementation science impact issues of social justice and equity. This paper will describe how a team of parenting program researchers has been collaborating with their partners globally in generating local knowledge by balancing the need for rigorous scientific methods with issues of power. Authors from the U.S., Latin America, Africa and Southeast Asia draw on their experiences regarding challenges and successes with issues regarding study design and measurement, the transferability and adaptation of interventions, and the dissemination and implementation of different parenting interventions while placing communities at the center of their efforts through participatory methods. We describe innovative approaches that span the continuum of intervention development, adaptation, optimization, evaluation, implementation, and scale up of different parenting programs for vulnerable children and families across the world. We conclude by offering specific and pragmatic recommendations to increase access of culturally relevant and effective parenting programs in these communities.

“…This is true for both demographic characteristics and health-related constructs. For instance, persons with racial and ethnic minority identities are overrepresented in correctional settings, yet highly marginalized in their access to community health resources (Dixon, Salinas, & Marques, 2016). Understanding the physical and behavioral health of these persons requires researchers to explore coding of racial and ethnic identity data during primary data collection to ensure that subgroup interpretations of data are generalizable to members of that subgroup.…”

It is essential to identify valid and reliable measurement strategies to enhance accurate, comprehensive, and meaningful health assessment and evaluation to improve health outcomes among justice-involved and incarcerated populations. This article identifies and describes three primary challenges related to measurement in correctional health care and makes four recommendations for enhanced measurement rigor from a social justice perspective. First, incorporate incarcerated persons into the measurement research process; second, enhance psychometric investigation in correctional health settings; third, increase the collection of individual-level, health-related data from incarcerated populations; and fourth, create and maintain centralized databases and comprehensive codebooks to promote data sharing.
