Research Interest:
The Latino Parents Helping Their Children to Change Project is an NIMH-funded mixed method inquiry of the adaptations community-based mental health professionals make to evidence-based interventions. In this project clinicians were trained on a behavioral parent training program and used this program with Latino immigrant parent-child dyads. Upon completion of the program, clinicians and parents participated in semi-structured interviews and focus groups where they were asked about their experiences of the program. The information learned was used to inform the development of a culturally adapted version of the behavioral parent training program being tested. Undergraduate research assistants will learn about community-based services research with a specific focus on Latino immigrants, qualitative and quantitative inquiry, and the challenges of bringing evidence-based interventions to real world settings.
