Abstract

This study examined the impact of the Abriendo Puertas parent education program among a large sample of low-income, Latino parents and caregivers of preschool children. In all, 922 parents were randomly assigned to the program (n = 468) or a waitlist control group (n = 454). Pretest data and posttest data (5-6 weeks postintervention) from parents (86.4% response rate) were collected from both the treatment and control groups. At each time point, parents reported on their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to enhancing their children’s school readiness. Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to assess the factorial validity of each survey scale, and path analyses were conducted to compare the outcomes of the treatment and control groups. In addition, to assess fade-out of program affects among treatment parents, follow-up data were collected 3 months postintervention. Intent-to-treat analyses found that, compared with the control group, the treatment group adopted parenting practices that enhanced preschool children’s preparation for school, gained knowledge about high-quality early child care and education settings, improved their ability to set goals for their children, and gained an appreciation for their role as models for their children. No differences were found between the control and treatment groups on parenting practices related to emotional expression, parental advocacy, or healthy behaviors. Results indicate that the Abriendo Puertas program improved parents’ and caregivers’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Results of this evaluation help build the evidence base on culturally relevant parenting programs for Latino parents of preschoolers.
Abriendo Puertas:拉丁裔家长教育计划的评估
这项研究调查了Abriendo Puertas父母教育计划对低收入、拉丁裔父母和学龄前儿童保育员的影响。总共有922名父母被随机分配到该项目(n=468)或等待名单对照组(n=454)。从治疗组和对照组收集父母的测试前数据和测试后数据(干预后5-6周)(86.4%的应答率)。在每个时间点,家长都会报告他们与提高孩子入学准备程度相关的知识、态度和行为。进行验证性因素分析以评估每个调查量表的因子有效性,并进行路径分析以比较治疗组和对照组的结果。此外,为了评估治疗父母对项目淡出的影响,在干预后3个月收集了随访数据。意向治疗分析发现,与对照组相比,治疗组采用的育儿方式加强了学龄前儿童的入学准备,获得了关于高质量幼儿保育和教育环境的知识,提高了他们为孩子设定目标的能力,并对他们作为孩子榜样的作用表示赞赏。对照组和治疗组在与情绪表达、父母倡导或健康行为相关的育儿实践方面没有发现差异。结果表明,Abriendo Puertas项目改善了父母和照顾者的知识、态度和行为。这项评估的结果有助于为学龄前儿童的拉丁裔父母建立与文化相关的育儿计划的证据基础。
