“…He was the principal investigator of an NIMH-funded randomized controlled trial of the CAPAS intervention with low-income Latino/a immigrant families with young children, ages 4–11 (Parra-Cardona et al, 2017). In addition, he was the principal investigator and lead supervisor of a study aimed at testing the feasibility of implementation of the intervention in Monterrey, Mexico, with families affected by child maltreatment (Parra-Cardona, Aguilar, Wieling, Domenech Rodríguez, & Fitzgerald, 2015). …”

Latino/a populations in the United States are negatively impacted by widespread mental health disparities. Although the dissemination of culturally relevant parent training (PT) programs constitutes an alternative to address this problem, there is a limited number of efficacious culturally adapted PT prevention interventions for low-income Latino/a immigrant families with adolescents. The current manuscript describes the level of acceptability of a version of the GenerationPMTO intervention adapted for Latino/a immigrant families, with an explicit focus on immigration-related challenges, discrimination, and promotion of biculturalism. Qualitative reports were provided by 39 immigrant parents who successfully completed the prevention parenting program. The majority of these parents self-identified as Mexican-origin. According to qualitative findings, participants reported overall high satisfaction with immigration and culture-specific components. Parents also expressed high satisfaction with the core GenerationPMTO parenting components and provided specific recommendations for improving the intervention. Current findings indicate the need to adhere to the core components that account for the effectiveness of PT interventions. Equally important is to thoroughly adapt PT interventions according to the cultural values and experiences that are relevant to target populations, as well as to overtly address experiences of discrimination that negatively impact underserved Mexican-origin immigrant families. Due to the exploratory nature of this study, the efficacy and effectiveness of the adapted prevention intervention remains to be established in empirical research.

“…Phase 2 involves selecting and adapting the evaluation measures, gathering data, and revising and adapting the intervention. Phase 3 integrates the data gathered to establish a "new" intervention that can subsequently be tested at a larger scale for the specific adaptation population (Domenech-Rodr ıguez & Wieling, 2004;Parra-Cardona, Aguilar Parra, Wieling, Domenech Rodr ıguez, & Fitzgerald, 2015;Parra-Cardona et al, 2012;Parra-Cardona et al, 2015). These recent models recognize the need for multiple stakeholder input and engagement in the adaptation.…”

A Community‐Responsive Adaptation to Reach and Engage Latino Families Affected by Maternal Depression

As family researchers and practitioners seek to improve the quality and accessibility of mental health services for immigrant families, they have turned to culturally adapted interventions. Although many advancements have been made in adapting interventions for such families, we have yet to understand how the adaptation can ensure that the intervention is reaching families identified to be in greatest need within a local system of care and community. We argue that reaching, engaging, and understanding the needs of families entails a collaborative approach with multiple community partners to ensure that adaptations to intervention content and delivery are responsive to the sociocultural trajectory of families within a community. We describe a cultural adaptation framework that is responsive to the unique opportunities and challenges of identifying and recruiting vulnerable families through community partnerships, and of addressing the needs of families by incorporating multiple community perspectives. Specifically, we apply these principles to the cultural adaptation of an intervention originally developed for low-income African American and White families facing maternal depression. The new intervention, Fortalezas Familiares (Family Strengths), was targeted to Latino immigrant families whose mothers were in treatment for depression in mental health and primary care clinics. We conclude with key recommendations and directions for how family researchers and practitioners can design the cultural adaptation of interventions to be responsive to the practices, preferences, and needs of underserved communities, including families and service providers.

“…Indeed, the process of answering this question has already begun in MFT research. For example, Parra‐Cardona, Parra, Wieling, Rodríquez, and Fitzgerald () culturally adapted the Parent Management Training, the Oregon Model (PMTO) within a group of Mexican mothers. However, much more research is needed to determine how this process can be generalized to other family‐based EBIs.…”

Despite the considerable resources allocated to research to promote public health, interventions capable of benefiting individuals and families are not finding their way into regular practice. An important avenue for addressing this problem is through dissemination and implementation (D&I) science, a burgeoning research area focusing on translating empirical knowledge into everyday practice. This article begins by suggesting ways in which MFTs are uniquely equipped to contribute to and benefit from D&I research. We will then provide an overview of D&I research, outlines key D&I models, and highlight examples of family intervention research relevant to MFTs using the key models. Finally, we conclude by providing the field with important next steps to advance the presence of MFT research within D&I scholarship.
