To (a) explore the preferences of Mexican parents and Spanish-speaking professionals working with migrant Latino families in Minnesota regarding the Mexican-adapted brief model versus the original conduct problems intervention and (b) identifying the potential challenges, and preferred solutions, to implementation of a conduct problems preventive intervention.
The core practice elements of a conduct problems prevention program originating in the United States were adapted for prevention efforts in Mexico. Three focus groups were conducted in the United States, with Latino parents (n = 24; 2 focus groups) and professionals serving Latino families (n = 9; 1 focus group), to compare and discuss the Mexican-adapted model and the original conduct problems prevention program. Thematic analysis was conducted on the verbatim focus group transcripts in the original language spoken.
Participants preferred the Mexican-adapted model. The following key areas were identified for cultural adaptation when delivering a conduct problems prevention program with Latino families: recruitment/enrollment strategies, program delivery format, and program content (i.e., child skills training, parent skills training, child-parent activities, and child-parent support). For both models, strengths, concerns, barriers, and strategies for overcoming concerns and barriers were identified.
We summarize recommendations offered by participants to strengthen the effective implementation of a conduct problems prevention model with Latino families in the United States. This project demonstrates the strength in binational collaboration to critically examine cultural adaptations of evidence-based prevention programs that could be useful to diverse communities, families, and youth in other settings.

(a) 探讨墨西哥裔美国家长和为拉丁裔移民家庭工作的西班牙语专业人士对墨西哥改编的简短模式与原始行为问题干预的偏好，以及 (b) 确定实施行为问题预防干预的潜在挑战和首选解决方案。
对源自美国的行为问题预防计划的核心实践要素进行了改编，以用于墨西哥的预防工作。在美国进行了 3 个焦点小组讨论，参与者包括拉丁裔家长（n = 24；2 个焦点小组）和为拉丁裔家庭服务的专业人士（n = 9；1 个焦点小组），以比较和讨论墨西哥改编的模式和原始的行为问题预防计划。对原始语言的焦点小组记录进行了主题分析。
参与者更喜欢墨西哥改编的模式。在为拉丁裔家庭提供行为问题预防计划时，确定了以下关键的文化适应领域：招募/入学策略、计划实施形式和计划内容（即儿童技能培训、家长技能培训、儿童-家长活动和儿童-家长支持）。对于两种模式，都确定了优势、关注点、障碍以及克服关注点和障碍的策略。
我们总结了参与者提供的建议，以加强在美国具有拉丁裔家庭的行为问题预防模式的有效实施。该项目展示了跨国合作的优势，对基于证据的预防计划进行了批判性的文化调整，这些调整可能对其他环境中的不同社区、家庭和青年有用。
