This study reports the implementation and feasibility of a culturally adapted parenting curriculum, Parenting in 2 Worlds (P2W), which we designed specifically for urban American Indian families by means of community-based participatory research and then pilot tested in three Arizona cities. Data come from matched pre- and post-test surveys completed in 2012 by 75 American Indian parents of adolescents aged 10-17 who participated in the pilot version of P2W. P2W is a 10-workshop program administered twice a week for 5 weeks by trained American Indian community facilitators. Parents completed pre-test surveys during Workshop 1 and post-test surveys 5 weeks later during Workshop 10. Paired t tests assessed changes in parenting outcomes, cultural identity, and child anti-social behavior. Changes from pre- to post-test demonstrated statistically significant improvements in several parenting outcomes (discipline, involvement, self-agency, and supervision), a strengthened sense of ethnic and cultural identity and Native spirituality, and a decrease in the child's anti-social behavior. These results, which show significant preliminary improvements in parenting skills and family functioning, suggest the feasibility of implementing a culturally grounded parenting intervention for urban American Indian parents.
本研究报告了一种文化适应性养育课程“双世界中的养育”（P2W）的实施情况及可行性。我们通过基于社区的参与性研究专门为美国城市印第安家庭设计了该课程，然后在亚利桑那州的三个城市进行了试点测试。数据来自2012年75位参与P2W试点版课程的美国印第安青少年（年龄在10 - 17岁）家长完成的配对前测和后测调查。P2W是一个为期10次的工作坊项目，由经过培训的美国印第安社区协调员每周开展两次，为期5周。家长们在第1次工作坊期间完成前测调查，并在5周后的第10次工作坊期间完成后测调查。配对t检验评估了养育结果、文化认同和儿童反社会行为方面的变化。从前测到后测的变化表明，在几个养育结果（纪律、参与度、自我能动性和监督）方面有统计学意义的显著改善，民族和文化认同感以及本土精神得到增强，儿童的反社会行为有所减少。这些结果显示出养育技能和家庭功能有显著的初步改善，表明为美国城市印第安家长实施基于文化的养育干预具有可行性。
