“…It is also critical that researchers expand the investigation of parent consultation effectiveness to include diverse populations in terms of ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and a broader age range of children. The lack of parent consultation research with minority populations is perplexing, given the previously stated importance of involving parents of disadvantaged groups in the consultation process (Behring & Ingraham, 1998; Edens, 1997; Goldstein, 1998; Ramirez, Lepage, Kratochwill, & Duffy, 1998; Sheridan 2000; Soo-Hoo, 1998). Replications of parent consultation studies with a variety of cultures and ages are particularly encouraged so that the treatment efficacy of parent consultation with school-related outcomes can be generalized across populations.…”

In this article, 18 studies using parent consultation to effect a change in children's schoolrelated behavior were evaluated according to guidelines set forth by the APA's Task Force on Evidence-Based Interventions in School Psychology. Results indicate that parent consultation is an effective method of intervention delivery for a variety of school-related behavioral and emotional concerns with Caucasian students. The majority of studies yielded moderate to large treatment effects. Though a variety of parent consultation models were effective, the Conjoint Behavioral Consultation (CBC) model provided the strongest evidence for producing significant school-related outcomes. Noteworthy limitations of the evidence base for parent consultation are the lack of between-group designs and use of diverse populations. It is therefore recommended that the investigation of parent consultation effectiveness be expanded to include minority populations and betweengroup designs.This review was conducted to investigate the efficacy of parent consultation as an intervention to change children's school-related behavior. In this study, 18 evidence-based studies of parent consultation with school outcomes are summarized and evaluated according to the guidelines set forth by the Task Force on Evidence-Based Interventions in School Psychology (hereafter called the Task Force; Kratochwill et al., 2001). This review is the first published application of the Task Force Procedural and Coding Manual to parent consultation literature.Consultation has a long and established history as an important method of service delivery relevant to the training and practice of school psychology. Parent consultation is often used in the broader psychology literature to refer to any communication between a professional and a parent. Within school psychology, parent consultation may be defined as a structured, indirect, collaborative, problem solving relationship between the psychologist (consultant) and one or more parent consultees (Sheridan, Kratochwill, & Bergen, 1996

“…Some suggest, for example, that a cultural match between service providers and recipients is among the critical aspects (Edens, 1997;Sue, Fujino, Hu, Tekeuchi, & Zane, 1991;Torralba-Romero, 1998;Zulli & Frierson, 2004). Others call for awareness of cultural differences and sensitivity to how those differences affect service delivery and utilization (Mederos & Woldguiorguis, 2003;Sylva, 2005;Walker, 2005).…”

“…We wondered if these differences might actually be situated in variations in the populations being served by the programs, and thereby reflect a program-to-community alignment. As indicated in the extant literature, cultural match between service providers and recipients is often used as a strategy to ensure cultural sensitivity (Edens, 1997;Torralba-Romero, 1998). To examine goodness of fit, we returned to the process study of the evaluation to obtain MIS data on the demographics of the communities served by the selected programs, as well as the program staff profiles from a survey of the line staff …”

Calls for cultural sensitivity in the design and implementation of human services programs have become a standard response to the increasing diversity among the families and communities being served. In this article, we take a critical look at the construct, using data from a multiyear evaluation of a statewide family support program. We examine how selected, locally implemented programs operationalize the state program's cultural sensitivity standard, using both etic and emic approaches; that is, we apply extant cultural competence definitions to assess program cultural sensitivity and document how the program staff articulated their approach to the cultural sensitivity. Findings suggest that programs focus more directly on the immediate cultural relevance of their services, rather than on developing more generalized competencies among their staff. Further, findings indicate that program-to-community alignment may well be a more useful representation of how programs address cultural issues. C 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Calls for cultural sensitivity in the design and implementation of human services programs have become a standard response to the increasing diversity among the families and communities being served. This program disposition, described interchangeably as cultural competence, cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity, cultural responsiveness, and the achievement of cultural ''match,'' has significant cachet in the practice literature, although there are few precise definitions of what it is and little research on its effectiveness. In this article, we take a critical look at the construct, using data from a multi-year evaluation of a statewide family support program. We examine how selected, locally implemented programs operationalize the state program's cultural sensitivity standard and discuss the implications of our findings for the development of a more contextualized construct.The program under discussion provides support and information to first-time parents-age 20 and under-toward the goal of optimizing children's development, reducing child maltreatment and repeat pregnancies, and encouraging parental educational and economic achievement. The program model has a set of specific standards to which locally implemented programs are expected to adhere, including the requirement that services be offered within a culturally sensitive framework, i.e., relevant for the particular communities being served. Embedded in a large-scale evaluation that included both implementation-focused and outcome-focused components, 1 the present study was designed to apply extant cultural competence definitions to assess the extent to which locally implemented programs were addressing the cultural sensitivity standard and to understand how the program staff articulated their approach to cultural sensitivity.
