Evidence-based parenting interventions, such as the Incredible Years Toddler Basic program, are known to effectively address these challenges. However, access to such programs remains limited for many caregivers, especially those in ethnically diverse and at-risk families, due to structural, attitudinal, and interpersonal barriers. This study describes the implementation of the Incredible Years Toddler Basic parenting intervention, highlighting strategies to recruit, retain, and engage a predominantly Hispanic (68.3%), at-risk population while addressing participation barriers. Data from 301 families were collected using validated measures, including the Parental Stress Scale and the Adult and Adolescent Parenting Inventory, second edition. Of the participants, 262 (87%) met attendance requirements, significantly exceeding retention rates for comparable programs. Caregivers reported significant reductions in parental stress and improvements in parenting attitudes. Findings highlight the success of addressing structural, attitudinal, and interpersonal barriers to improve participation and outcomes in community-based parenting programs. This study serves as a model for leveraging community partnerships and tailoring programming to advance public health and support in ethnically diverse and at-risk families.

A total of 579 adolescents (55.4% girls, <i>M</i>_age = 12.83; <i>SD</i>_age = 0.76) took part in this three-wave study conducted in January 2023 (Time 1), March 2023 (Time 2), and May 2023 (Time 3), with each wave being 2 months apart. The results from the cross-lagged panel model supported significant bidirectional relations between emotional problems and COVID-19 peritraumatic distress. In addition, the influence of maternal or paternal warmth on subsequent emotional problems was not statistically significant. The COVID-19 peritraumatic distress at Time 2 mediated the longitudinal effect of emotional problems at Time 1 on paternal warmth at Time 3. Nevertheless, COVID-19 peritraumatic distress did not significantly influence subsequent maternal warmth.

Minimal research has examined factors contributing to how children of color perceive maternal parenting practices. Guided by Ungar's social ecological model and developmental assets theory, this study assessed how child behavior problems and social ecological assets at individual, relational, and contextual levels were related to positive and negative maternal parenting perceptions. Participants included 263 child-mother dyads recruited from community organizations in the Midsouth, United States. Children ranged in age from 8 to 17 years old (<i>M</i>_age = 12.13, <i>SD</i> = 2.77; 88.2% Black) and female caregivers ranged in age from 23 to 64 years old (<i>M</i>_age = 36.43, <i>SD</i> = 7.89; 82.9% Black). The sample was recruited based on maternal caregivers' experiences with substance abuse, violence, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome/human immunodeficiency virus (SAVA). Research is lacking on factors related to parenting perceptions among families exposed to SAVA in the United States, despite past studies showing links between SAVA and parenting. Findings from a multivariate linear regression revealed that younger child age, more internal assets, and more community assets were related to greater positive maternal parenting perceptions, while more behavior problems and fewer community assets were associated with more negative parenting perceptions. Results highlight the differential contributions of assets and behavioral difficulties to how children perceive maternal parenting. Such knowledge could inform the development of family-focused, multisystemic interventions that may enhance parenting practices while strengthening the mother-child relationship.

The present study sought to examine father involvement patterns and their predictors among Latino fathers who were predominantly unmarried and had a low income. A latent profile analysis was conducted on a sample of 830 Latino fathers of toddlers in the Building Strong Families program. Three father involvement profiles were identified: <i>high involvement</i> (61.81%); <i>high accessibility</i> <i>and financial support, but less engagement</i> (26.63%); and <i>nonresident, but engaged</i> (11.57%). Fathers' older age, lower parental aggravation, and higher coparenting relationship quality predicted membership in the <i>high involvement</i> profile. Overall, study results indicate that many Latino fathers are highly involved in parenting, highlighting the resilience and fathering commitment among Latino fathers with low income. Our findings suggest the need for additional support for younger fathers and fathers experiencing parental aggravation and point to coparenting relationships as an important source of support for father involvement among Latino fathers with low income.

Data were collected from 85 couples (85 mothers and 85 fathers) over an 8-day period, with parental burnout measured at baseline and child well-being assessed both at baseline and via daily reports. The findings indicate a significant association between maternal burnout and both mothers' and fathers' perceptions of their children's well-being, whereas the link with paternal burnout was weaker and more variable, making its interpretation more complex. While the study contributes to our understanding of the association between parental burnout and child well-being, future research should focus on incorporating children's self-reported perspectives, examining how the impact of burnout varies across ages, and considering diverse family structures.

Simultaneously, a unique subset of researchers is investigating RS practices of parents of Black-White biracial children (Csizmadia et al., 2014; Stone & Dolbin-MacNab, 2017). The dearth of research examining intraparental dyadic communication makes it clear that there is a need to continue examining the RS dialogue between romantically involved couples rearing Black and biracial children as an extension of parenting (Jones & Neblett, 2019). Using elements of phenomenological inquiry (Spigelberg, 1982), the present study investigated one facet of parenting decisions regarding RS: division of labor (DOL) in romantically involved parenting dyads. Themes included <i>approaches to DOL, factors influencing DOL,</i> and <i>navigation of coparenting dynamics</i> as well as related subthemes and focused codes. Further analyses suggested that despite racial structures, parents of Black and biracial youth are social agents in the RS process; their intraparental dyadic conversations impact their DOL practices and parenting dynamics. Regardless of the role played in the RS conversation, every parent in the present study described feeling supported and providing support in relaying RS messages with their coparenting partner. Unique findings were present among interracial dyads (e.g., <i>racialized upbringing</i>) and mothers and fathers (e.g., <i>balancing one another</i>).

The findings substantiate most of the hypotheses derived from the ERI model: higher levels of effort, overcommitment, and ERI were positively associated with parental burnout, and higher rewards were linked to lower levels of burnout. Overcommitment moderated the relation between ERI and parental burnout, but surprisingly, this association was stronger under conditions of low overcommitment compared to high overcommitment.

A total of 480 married individuals participated in an online survey. Participants completed self-report questionnaires, including Family Crisis Oriented Personal Evaluation Scale (F-COPES) to assess coping strategies, and additional measures to evaluate family stress and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was conducted in spring 2020 after the general initial lockdown in Israel was lifted. The results indicated that, as expected, families relied most on internal resources, namely, reframing and spiritual support, while strategies requiring external support, such as social support and mobilizing help, were less relied upon. Regression analyses revealed that, as expected, reframing and spiritual support were significantly associated with lower stress and better mental health, whereas mobilizing help predicted higher stress and poorer mental health, and social support did not significantly predict family stress or mental health. Contrary to expectations, passive appraisal was also associated with higher stress and poorer mental health. These findings suggest that during the COVID-19 pandemic, families from this specific society in Israel relied more on internal coping strategies, with external support mechanisms proving less effective. The study highlights the unique challenges faced by minority populations during global health crises. These implications call for more culturally relevant mental health interventions and improved accessibility to support services for minority groups in times of crisis.
