Abstract

Numerous parent education programs have been developed to provide parents with the skills and support necessary to effectively improve their parenting abilities. The Strengthening Families Program (SFP) employs a "family skills training" approach for parents and their children (ages 6 to 10). This study focuses on the implementation and outcomes of a culturally adapted SFP in southwestern Virginia, an area known for its Appalachian culture. Two groups were compared (those that received an adapted curricula and those that did not) on retention rates, parental outcomes, child outcomes, and program satisfaction. Retention rates were significantly improved for those participants in the adapted curricula group; however, parent and child outcomes were not affected. Statistically significant improvements for parents were found in effective discipline practices, family cohesion, family conflict, confidence in parenting, and punishment practices; and for both groups of children in increased child social skills and closeness to mothers between pre- and post-test times.

  • There is evidence that family-based interventions to reduce substance use reach more minority participants if they are adapted to fit local culture and context.

    “For example, there is evidence that family-based interventions to reduce substance use reach more minority participants if they are adapted to fit local culture and context (e.g., to reflect sociocultural values of Hispanic populations and rural settings) (59, 69, 82).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
