Family Language Preference, Not Provider-Family Language Concordance, Predicts Integrated Psychology Treatment Engagement in a Spanish-English Bilingual Clinic.

Objective: Monolingual Spanish speakers-many of whom identify as Hispanic/Latine-often experience barriers to accessing psychology services, including language access. Integrated primary care (IPC) clinics, where individuals receive psychological services within primary care, aim to improve service accessibility. However, minoritized populations are less likely to engage with these services than non-Hispanic/Latine White individuals.

Evaluation of a Systems-Wide Telebehavioral Health Training Implementation in Response to COVID-19.

In response to the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, it became important to rapidly train mental health providers to provide telebehavioral health services (TBH) within a pediatric care setting. This study examined the perceived usefulness of various TBH training materials; provider motivation, comfort, and confidence in implementation of TBH services; and perceived benefits and barriers of TBH. After completing various training options and implementing TBH services for 1 month, providers indicated all training materials were helpful, with the recorded webinar being identified as the most helpful resource.

Family Functioning in Latinx Families of Children with ADHD: The Role of Parental Gender and Acculturation.

Objectives: It has been well-established that parents of children with ADHD report significantly higher levels of parenting stress and home chaos, and lower levels of parental efficacy than parents of children without ADHD. Unfortunately, most of the extant ADHD literature has focused on European American children and families, resulting in a paucity of research focusing on ethnic minority families of children with ADHD. The current study aimed to expand what is known about Latinx parents of children with ADHD by exploring contextual and cultural factors, such as parental gender and acculturation, which may account for variations in parenting experiences within this population.

Parental ADHD Knowledge in Latinx Families: Gender Differences and Treatment Effects.

Objective: The current study aimed to extend findings of a study comparing two psychosocial treatments for ADHD in Latinx youth by examining if parental ADHD knowledge improves following treatment and if parental gender differences in ADHD knowledge exist.

Method: Following a comprehensive ADHD assessment, 58 Latinx families of school-aged children (mean age of 8 years) were randomly assigned to either culturally-adapted treatment (CAT) or standard evidence-based treatment (EBT). Parents completed an ADHD Knowledge measure both pre- and post-treatment.
