“…Another important factor in participant engagement and retention is whether the program has been designed or adapted to fit the participants (Damashek et al 2012;Gonzales 2017;Parra Cardona et al 2012). Attention to culture may aid in program utilization and retention (Catalano et al 1993).…”

“…Parra Cardona et al (2012) examined the experiences and perceptions of parents who completed the PMTO intervention to understand how the program contributed to change in behaviors. Parents noted that the specific content of the study and delivery methods (i.e., visual aids, role play, home practice assignments, troubleshooting) contributed to the change process (Parra Cardona et al 2012). Alignment between anticipated content and actual content may also be an important factor in engagement and retention (Michalopoulos et al 2015).…”

Principles of Precision Prevention Science for Improving Recruitment and Retention of Participants

Precision medicine and precision public health focus on identifying and providing the right intervention to the right population at the right time. Expanding on the concept, precision prevention science could allow the field to examine prevention programs to identify ways to make them more efficient and effective at scale, including addressing issues related to engagement and retention of participants. Research to date on engagement and retention has often focused on demographics and risk factors. The current paper proposes using McCurdy and Daro (Family Relations, 50, 113-121, 2001) model that posits a complex mixture of individual, provider, program, and community-level factors synergistically affect enrollment, engagement, and retention. The paper concludes recommending the use of research-practice partnerships and innovative, rapid cycle methods to design and improve prevention programs related to participant engagement and retention at scale.

“…When adapting parenting interventions for use in the child welfare system, the unique situations and experiences of foster children and foster families must be taken into consideration. Cultural adaptation scholars recognize the importance of adapting evidence-based treatment or intervention protocols to ensure that they are culturally relevant to the target population (Bernal & Sáez-Santiago, 2006; Kumpfer, Alvarado, Smith, & Bellamy, 2002; Parra Cardona et al, 2012; Rodriguez, Baumann, & Schwartz, 2011; Smith et al, 2011). …”

Children and Youth Services Review

The scarcity of caregivers and the unique vulnerability of teens involved with the child welfare system necessitate effective strategies for ensuring that caregivers are prepared and supported in the important role they play with children and youth within the child welfare system. They are in a position, through the establishment of a strong, positive, supportive connection with the youth, to potentially minimize the impacts of recent trauma and interrupt a negative trajectory by preventing the youth’s initiation of high-risk behavior. In this paper we describe the process used to systematically adapt Staying Connected with Your Teen™, an evidence-based, prevention-focused parenting program found in other studies to reduce the initiation of teens‘ risky behaviors, for use with foster teens and their relative or foster caregivers. This work has been guided by the ADAPT-ITT framework developed by Wingood and DiClemente (2008) for adapting evidence-based interventions. Qualitative work conducted in Phase 1 of this study identified the need for the development of a trusted connection between foster youth and their caregivers, as well as tools for helping them access community resources, social services, and educational supports. This paper describes the process used to develop new and adapted program activities in response to the needs identified in Phase 1. We conducted a theater test with dyads of foster youth and their caregivers to get feedback on the new activities. Findings from the theater test are provided and next steps in the research are discussed which include examining program usability, fidelity, feasibility, and testing this new prevention program that has been tailored for child welfare involved youth and their caregivers. This intervention program has the potential to fill an important gap in the availability of preventive programming for caregivers of teens in foster care.

“…Fortunately, there is an increasing number of parent-training interventions adapted for Latino, Spanish-speaking families, such as PMTO (Baumann et al 2014; Domenech Rodríguez et al 2011; Martínez and Eddy 2005; Parra Cardona et al 2012) and PCIT (Borrego et al 2006; Matos et al 2006, 2009; McCabe et al 2005, 2012; McCabe and Yeh 2009). PCIT is a behavioral parent-training intervention, which is designed to enhance the parent-child relationship to improve child behavior problems.…”

Parent Training and Skill Acquisition and Utilization Among Spanish- and English-Speaking Latino Families

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the U.S., there is a growing Latino population, in which parents primarily speak Spanish to their children. Despite the evidence that language preference is associated with level of acculturation and influences parenting practices in these families, no study has compared how Spanish-and English-speaking Latino families acquire and utilize the skills taught during parent-training programs such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). Twenty-seven mother-infant Latino dyads received a home-based adaptation of the Child-Directed Interaction (CDI) phase of PCIT as part of a larger randomized control trial. Most infants were male (63%), and their average age was 13.7 months (SD = 1.43). Most families (52%) lived below the poverty line. The Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System-Third Edition (DPICS-III) was employed to evaluate PCIT skills at baseline and post-treatment, as well as at 3- and 6-month follow-up, assessments. We conducted multiple linear regression analyses among Spanish-speaking (55%) and English-speaking (45%) families to examine differences in acquisition and utilization of do and don’t skills at each assessment while controlling for mother’s education. Results yielded no group differences in the acquisition rate of do or don’t skills at any time point. However, Spanish-speaking mothers used significantly more don’t skills than English-speaking mothers at each assessment. Specifically, Spanish-speaking families used significantly more commands at baseline, post-treatment, and the 6-month followup assessments, as well as more questions at post-treatment and at the 6-month follow-up assessments. These findings highlight the importance of addressing cultural values such as respeto to ensure culturally robust parent-training programs for Latino families.
