MARCH 2012 FEATURED ARTICLE
Culturally Adapting an Evidence-Based Parenting Intervention for Latino Immigrants: The Need to Integrate Fidelity and Cultural Relevance
Article By: Jose Ruben Parra Cardona, et. al.
| Jose Ruben Parra-Cardona Jose Ruben Parra-Cardona is an Associate Professor in the Couple and Family Therapy Program at Michigan State University and is currently the Principal Investigator of an NIMH-funded study focused on cultural adaptation.
Latino populations continue to experience intense health and mental health disparities. One alternative to reduce these disparities consists of culturally adapting existing evidence-based interventions. The current Family Process article describes an investigation focused on the cultural adaptation of the efficacious parenting intervention known as Parent Management Training, the Oregon Model (PMTOTM). Latino parents seem to be highly satisfied with the original components of the PMTO intervention, and additionally have expressed strong interest on addressing issues that directly influence their parenting efforts, such as racism, discrimination, biculturalism, and so on. This study is being accomplished thanks to a truly collaborative effort involving Michigan State University, MSU-Extension, Utah State University, Implementations Sciences International, Inc. (ISII), Southwest Solutions-Detroit, University of Puerto Rico Río Piedras, and Florida State University.

Call for New Family Process Institute Board Members
The Family Process Institute is an independent, multidisciplinary, transnational organization dedicated to the development and exchange of new theory, research, applied practice, and policy related to families and systems. The Institute sponsors and oversees the Family Process journal, and is governed by a board of directors. At this time, we are accepting nominations for persons interested in joining the Board of Directors. Board members join for a three year term, with the ability to renew once. The Board meets two weekends a year, one in April and one in November, at rotating cities. Travel expenses to board meetings are covered by the Family Process Institute. In addition to providing stewardship of the journal and a creative sounding board for the Family Process editor(s), the board is also responsible for the creation and implementation of a strategic plan for the Family Process Institute. Key components of this plan currently include a strategy to provide pilot grant funding for early career professionals working in areas connected to the mission of the institute; providing scholarly mentoring to professionals interested in writing or reviewing for the journal; and reaching out to international colleagues in South America and Asia.
If you are interested in nominating yourself or a colleague, please send a letter of intent as well as a current CV to Nadine Kaslow, PhD, President of the Family Process Institute, at: nkaslow@emory.edu.
