“…A guiding aim of this project was to develop a brief version of a parenting intervention. Extant literature commonly cites challenges delivering and evaluating parenting programs for homeless families due to their high mobility and inconsistent attendance (e.g., Beharie et al., ; Haskett et al., ; Perlman et al., ). Feasibility data from this pilot study suggest an intervention spanning several weeks may be difficult to implement in transitional housing.…”

“…Many intervention adaptations in the pilot study align with prior research on homeless populations. These include an enhanced focus on emotion regulation (see also Burns et al., ), efforts to increase social support among parents (see also Ferguson & Morley, ), and parent–child communication about substance use and other risky behaviors (see also Beharie et al., ). In this way, there is mounting evidence such program components are important to consider in parenting interventions for homeless families.…”

“…Beharie et al. () adapted curricula from multiple evidence‐based programs to design a family‐based intervention to prevent HIV and substance use among youth in homeless shelters. Families in the intervention group, compared to the control condition, reported more frequent communication about difficult topics over time.…”

“…An impetus for this study was to develop a brief version of the parenting program. Scholars have called attention to the need for more relevant means of service delivery to homeless families due to their high mobility (Beharie et al., ; Davey, ; Perlman et al., ). For example, Perlman et al.…”

Intervention adaptation is a promising approach for extending the reach of evidence-based interventions to underserved families. One highly relevant population in need of services are homeless families. In particular, homeless families with children constitute more than one third of the total homeless population in the United States and face several unique challenges to parenting. The purpose of this study was to adapt and pilot test a parenting intervention for homeless families in transitional housing. An established adaptation model was used to guide this process. The systematic adaptation efforts included: (a) examining the theory of change in the original intervention, (b) identifying population differences relevant to homeless families in transitional housing, (c) adapting the content of the intervention, and (d) adapting the evaluation strategy. Next, a pilot test of the adapted intervention was conducted to examine implementation feasibility and acceptability. Feasibility data indicate an intervention spanning several weeks may be difficult to implement in the context of transitional housing. Yet, acceptability of the adapted intervention among participants was consistently high. The findings of this pilot work suggest several implications for informing continued parenting intervention research and practice with homeless families in transitional housing.

Starting to be implemented as of the 1960s, early intervention programs are frequently employed at the present time. Researchers develop and implement early intervention programs in various subjects and areas. These programs may be family-based, schoolbased, community-based, or a combination of them. This study aimed at comparing the early intervention programs developed in the USA and in Turkey in the last decade in terms of duration, implementers, participants, implementation process, assessment tools, and effects.
